Kids had swim class this morning and Iris was really into it. She actually enjoyed “bobbing” in and out of the water, scooping, splashing, doing “big arms”. 

Simon must have used up a lot of energy too since he fell asleep while running errands. (His lesson is in the deeper pool so I don’t get to see him while in the pool with Iris.)

We went to see about a piano for the kids then stopped by to do a bit of shopping. Iris gravitated towards a wagon and broom. 

In the evening, we walked nearby for dinner and Iris was wearing a sweater without a hood. She saw that Daddy and Annie were wearing their hoods and kept on saying 帽子 or Màozi (hat) and pointing to her head so Annie finally gave her the hood off her jacket. 

She sort of looks like she is wearing one of those old style judge wigs.

So update on our illness, we are finally almost all better. Just some residual cough but in a few days we should be all well. Simon went back to school on Tuesday and I was at work all week and Ron worked from home half the day on some days. Apparently this bug is making its rounds. Keep well if you can!

With daylight savings it has been nice to come home and still have some sunlight to sit in our front room and read to the kids. 

Looking forward to the weekend with these two.

“Ma ma, bao bao!” (Mommy, carry me!)

Annie drew an umbrella and Iris made her version to the right in orange colored marker. 

Love this face!

And love this face! Those eyes…
