Journaling:
Some weeks there just don’t seem to be too many pictures, or maybe some weeks are better off left undocumented. Whatever the case may be, this was one of those weeks. After the big snow on the 18th, the temperature dropped and the wind came up and even though the days are getting longer, it felt like we were right back in the middle of winter and a long nap seemed more inviting than anything else. The 18th of February marked the 4th anniversary of Jason’s dad’s passing as well as his aunt’s 89th birthday. Birthday celebrations were far from the focus though, after being treated for persistent pneumonia for the last several months, she went to the ER on Saturday with a lot of difficultly breathing. This time they did a chest x-ray and discovered that it wasn’t pneumonia after all, but rather, an advanced case of lung cancer. Friday also brought the news of the death of Jason’s aunt Kay.

We made a comfort food favourite this week of bagels and eggs and Guinness loved getting the bagel centres. Laura started painting Elizabeth’s room - Allen is moving his office downstairs and the theme is pink and mauve mystical creatures and castles. That was happy news that came along with Laura’s report that she had been rear-ended on the icy roads - no one was hurt but the car seats have to be replaced because of safety standards. We are so ready for a new week!
