Happy Birthday Mom!

Today it is my mom's birthday. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank her for all that she does for this blog. I know from some of you how much you appreciate getting to read about our trip and without what my mom does, the posts would not happen. I write the blog stories on pretty much a daily basis and they stack up in my phone until we get into an area with either cell service or wifi, then I send my mom all the stories. I also send her any pictures with captions, usually one by one because they often take so long to send because of bad service or slow wifi. My mom then has to compile everything into a presentable format with the pictures input into the appropriate spot in the story before she can finally make the post. All of this would be incredibly challenging, frustrating, and time consuming for me to do with my phone over spotty cell service or on the computer with limited wifi and the fact is that it just wouldn't happen.
So a big thank you to my mom for taking on this aspect of the blog!!
Up until now all the posts since we left Vancouver have been made by my mom, however, this one is made by me so she does not know it is happening. If my plan works out she will get an email notification, just like you do, that there has been a blog post on the morning of her birthday. We should be in an area of cell service for her birthday so hopefully this all works out. 
Mom, happy happy Birthday and I hope you have a fantastic day!! 
Love from Jason and I

Finally Back to the Blog

September 26,  2024 It has been way too long since I have written an update for the blog.   Sorry about that.   Falcon is almost 22 months old, and computer work is a challenging thing to get done with him always wanting to be involved in what I am doing, so needless to say, blog writing has taken a back burner.     Many of you will already know much of what we have been up to over the past year and a bit, but some of you may not, and I thought that either way I would write up some quick summary notes and post some pictures.  Most of the pictures are of Falcon, as he is the love of our lives.    Lucky for us, given that we live in Ocean Falls where it rains a lot, Falcon enjoys being out in the rain.       And he really enjoys climbing into and onto things, perhaps just to see if he can fit.  And, because of his love of climbing, we built him a climbing wall, on which he has gotten quite proficient.

A Fantastic Birthday

September 9th (Wednesday) Our first day off after our 8-day shift, and it was also my birthday.  I enjoyed what felt like a nice long sleep-in as compared to getting up at 05:45 for work, and then Jason gave me my birthday presents and made me a delicious brunch of blueberry pancakes, bacon, and sausages.  Then we were off to the lake.  It was a beautiful, sunny day and glassy calm as we planed our way along the lake.  We went down to the south end to check it out and explore, as we had never been down to that end before.   As the sun got hotter we wanted to enjoy it, and to go swimming, so we headed to our perfect picnic and swimming area of Triple Falls.  There we enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of relaxing and swimming.  The water felt quite a bit cooler than it had the last time that we were there, so our refreshing swims were brief. One time, as I was coming out of the water, I saw a bumblebee struggling on the surface....

First Things First

November 25, 2024  Our first priority in La Paz was to order our new solar panels.   We had priced them out and sourced them at different locations before getting here, but we were unable to pre-order them before going into the store to pay for them.   Once they were ordered we focused on other things on our to do list, which included getting Falcon to the beachside playground.   He did so well on the slides, and got to go on a "big kid" swing for the first time, and he loves to swing.   We also went for several walks around areas that we knew from the last time that we were here.   One of these included a walk past the Airbnb where Falcon was born.   Almost everyday we visited the El Magote beach, which we knew so well from many long walks previously.
