Christmas break 2021 hasn’t been awesome so far. Parker, Kiefer, and I all tested positive for Covid. Parker and Kiefer were asymptotic but I got it pretty good symptom wise. Starting to turn the corner but yesterday Kiefer started getting pretty ill with a very croupy cough. No real difficulty breathing but feeling miserable. Krista is sick as a dog too but no positive test. All he wants is poutine, white freezies, and tea, lots of tea 😓

Then there was the time most of us got covid at Christmas 😢
Krista and Blaine negative although Krista is more sick than anyone, Parker, Kiefer, and I are all positive. We’re trying to all isolate but it’s proving a challenge as Kiefer doesn’t really get it.

We have a great picture where we are all posing perfectly that I’m certain Krista will post on Facebook. For me, I like the ones like this, or the one where we tried to get our dog Lida to pose too. This is my family, I love them.

Hockey is shutting down until the new year with the case counts going higher. Parker’s last game of the year ended in a blackout… It was surreal but then the boys had to get off pretty quick and unchanged before emergency lights gave out! 🏒

Today Krista and I officially became Schitthead’s! Totally by accident! We were diverted off the highway this evening after seeing my Mom. We had a meandering path on maps so we followed. Then we found ourselves at an intersection that has Bob’s Garage, the Cafe Tropical, and Rose Apothecary so of course we park at Bob’s, run to the Apothecary, and take a quick snap of the cafe before running away back to the car. Only one pic worked out though! Total win for team Birkbeck!

Tonight was my game with Billy, we both played great! It dawned on me tonight that I don’t remember playing my last game as a goalie. It just ended. So, I want to talk about the games I play. It’s great playing on this team with Billy. No one plays harder for him than I do. It’s a great group where tailgating before or after is the norm 🏒🍻

I wish I was better prepared and had my phone on the ice but today was the first game of hockey I’ve ever played with one of my sons. 🏒
Parker subbed in on my men’s team and did great! I couldn’t be more proud of him 😁

Parker has been working at Canelas at the 400 Market for 18 months now making the best cinnamon rolls ever! Well, his boss was selling and he’s a friend of mine so we agreed to buy it! Parker’s been training me, he loves being way better than me at things… And he is a master at rolling them - 5.5 minutes for 36 buns! Perhaps a business that Kiefer can work someday?

I’m very proud of my gigantic 16 year boy Parker who got his learners permit today. Oh Lord, what am I happy about, now he’s going to be driving!!

When we first got Kiefer’s diagnosis, the doctors at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto wanted him on a keto diet as its been show to have a positive impact on kids with seizure disorders. He naturally gravitated towards it and now its hard to get carbs into him. He loves hash browns so this morning’s breakfast was fit for a king! He ate everything but the hash browns lol

Derek came home for the first time in 18 months today, so we decided to have a glass of wine 🍷😁 It’s great to see him after so much time. He’s been in Halifax at school and unable to come home due to the pandemic. 😷
