Emerging From Covid-19's Shadow - Part II

Five weeks later and fully vaccinated, we were more than ready for more company and this little sweetie had some Girl Scout cookies to deliver.

Oh, Lily, how we've missed you. Your sweet messages and artwork were bright spots and facetiming with you was great, but not as wonderful as being with you in person.

Your little brother Maverick has grown and changed in the year since we saw him last. He is three now and following your lead in the arts department. Such a little charmer, and so cute. 

Grandpa Doug and Grandma Shelly joined us. They hadn't seen you since September. And you brought Girl Scout cookies for them, too!

I wanted a four generations picture before you left.

Maverick was being a ham, but the rest of us, you, your Mom Alyssa and Grandpa Douglas and Great-grandma Ramona, posed nicely.

  

I wanted a picture of your Mom with her new Subaru Crosstrek.

Did you know Subaru means united in Japanese?

One more photo before you left. This time we got your Dad, Evan in it too. And there were lots of hugs all around - no more social distancing.

I hope we get to visit you at your home in Minnesota this summer. You can show me your room and all your crafts, artwork and treasures.

Thanks for coming to see us - and for bringing cookies, of course!
