All three kids are finally on winter break! N had his last day today. Each girl has an assignment hanging over her head but once those are done they will be on vacation. And both girls got boosted today so that is a relief. N was also at the doctor's office to check in with the people administering his vaccine trial.

Covid is really everywhere right now – pretty scary. We all know people who have it.

This is classic N. He took apart one of his stress ball things, removed all the little rubber balls, and put them on a serving fork. He wanted to take it to Seattle but we said no. When we walked in the door from the airport, he picked it up and said, "I missed this!"
