Nearing the end of another school year.

Christmas time , We did not do much, I tried to make it special to celebrate all the different traditions we could find, like a yule log cake for Germany, KFC from Japan, a Pinata from Mexico and some South African food for Christmas day.

This winter was not that cold, but we did go for some ice skating 

Neo-Rie turned 14 and we went for breakfast.

New year of school started - minus two kids

 So my new year of school 2020-2021 started bitter-sweet.  It was really difficult for me letting go of another child-into the school system, but the peace that I experienced in this decision made it bearable to let another one go. Knowing it better now than when they have to leave for good. 

So Zane and Neo-Rie started with Remote learning, it was good, they were still home for the first 6 weeks of school. then after Fall break they went back to school. It has been 4 weeks now. All is still good. Even better!
