We Live

[tiger_spot]

I am fully vaccinated, my partner is fully vaccinated, many of our friends are fully vaccinated. We are opening up reaaaaal slowly, because the kids are not vaccinated yet, and won't be until it's looking like probably September. But we the adults had dinner with friends today, and it was super great. We have been doing some pretty normal outdoor stuff -- M had her Girl Scout bridging ceremony from Brownies to Juniors, V has a series of meet-the-incoming-kindergarten-class playdates, we had brunch with the family across the street in their backyard (mostly to meet the dog, who we petsat for this weekend while they were away; that was also super great, as he is a 4-month-old black lab and just the sweetest thing) -- but this was really the first time I've been unmasked indoors with someone other than my dentist in, what, like a year and a half now? A century or two? A million years?

Hugs are real nice.

M bridged! Congratulations to M on bridging!

It was the most adorable little one-troop ceremony, too. Instead of the whole service unit together in an auditorium somewhere, with the flags and speeches and stuff, we just had the troop in a local park where the leader took them on a wee hike over two bridges and the families met them at the end with their new vests. It was super sweet and a lot more fun for me than the usual kind.

That's what mine was like! That's lovely.

Sigh. Yeah. Every couple of weeks I google "when can young kids get vaccinated for covid" in case it has changed.

Hooray for cautiously reopening. Hugs are so wonderful to have back on the menu.
