2020-2021

At the time when this picture was taken, we didn’t how deadly the Covid-19 was… 

We had no idea at the time that the world would be completely a different place after we came back from Japan in January 2020…,

Covid hit the world in Feb 2020 and it caused countries shit down. Everyone stuck in the house for the next year and half..

There were so many things happened during the time.

We bought a trampoline, a boat, started a house renovation…..

I changed my job twice lol

It’s definitely good and necessary changes but challenges, of course. Hopefully I don’t have to find a job sometime soon…

The kids had been on remote learning for a year and half. From Sep 2021, they finally went back to full time in person but there are still many adaptations, like wearing masks, keeping social distance, and limiting events..  

We started getting vaccinations from March 2021. However, vaccination rate is not as high as we would like to be.. 

In the world, many issues have been arose as well,  Black Lives Matter, Asian hate crimes, political polarization, and more.

It’s been hard for all of us, but in the difficult situation, we found fun things too. One of the  is fishing. Kanata started being really into fishing. He started watching fishing YouTube. We took him to lakes and piers. Brit got our first inflatable boat and electric motor. Then both Brit and I got into it.finally we bought a used fiberglass boat. Definitely covid shopping. We met with great fishing friends. They taught us a lot of tips and tactics. From we fish mostly non edible fish to trout to finally we fish salmon!!! Pinks, sockeyes, and cohos! I had never imagined that we would eat salmon that we fish! 

I also started baking sourdough. It’s my new normal. Nowadays I bake at least once a week. 

I haven’t seen my mom and Brits mom for more than year. I miss spending time with my mom.. 

Brit’s company costume online party. Far Thor. I think this is pretty good!

 あまりにも時間が経ってしまったこど、2020-2021の総まとめブログ。もっとこまめに書かないとな…

2020-2021はコロナ(Covid-19)のおかげで、旅行はもとより、子供たちの学校、ブリトンの会社もオンラインで自宅からが普通になり、トランポリン買って、ちょっとでも家が楽しいようにと、なんとも後から振り返れば、不思議な二年間だったと思う特別な年。

家族四人だけが多い年で、社交的な喜音にとっては辛かった年でもある。反対に奏大は、内向的だから、家にいる事は苦痛でもなく、友達とゲームで話さえすれば大体は満足のよう。やっぱり姉弟でも全然違うもの。
