Eschenfelder2021

We surprised the kids with little Boris a few days ago.  He has found a place in our home and our hearts and he is even working on finding a place next to Carly.  He is one of nine puppies in his litter, and without competition for food at our house, he has plumped up quite a bit.  He woke at 4am for the first few nights, needing to pee and play.  But last night, he slept through to 6:30am, which was wonderful.  We don't have much a system for him yet.  He basically goes everywhere we go and he pees on his fake turf.  The kids are so helpful with him, that we rarely have to do much of anything when they are home.  I hope he is healthy and happy here.  But, I sure miss Pig.

We told Cora that she made it into DLI today.  She cried and then, with more words, she smiled.  She is SO brave.  She is always surprising me.  I should t be surprised, but I am. Ever time. 

It’s amazing to see this girl in a work shirt.  

Cora was pretty cold at ski school and now has her toes shoved in my heated gloves.  W and I messed up our reservations and so got To grocery shop and walk the dogs before finally getting in a couple runs.

We found out today that Reed needs glasses for close up vision.  He has been blinking and squinting for months, so we should have done this in the fall.  He picked out aviators for lenses. Of course he looked handsome in all of them.  Cora spent the afternoon making homemade valentines for her class.  And I sure love to see them cuddle up in the evening.

Reed informed me this week that he and his friends (and the whole school) play Covid ball at recess.  Recently, there is a new rule that if you get the vaccine you get an extra life.
