POWER OUTAGE 2021

Because of the ice storm that hit West Linn, we were out of power for 5 days!

We did stuff like eat cheese quesadillas in the dark…

…And play with water and syringes in the sink.

I hung out with Fluffy, who just happens to glow different colors.

We also had to go buy stuff sometimes. We parked our car across the street and found all sorts of obstacles getting there.

One of the things we bought was an inverter to hook up to our car battery. I waited patiently in this cardboard box while Mommy and Daddy hooked it up.

After the inverter was hooked up, we had enough electricity to charge our computer!

We didn’t have internet, but I found this awesome dinosaur game that showed up on any Chrome page without internet.

On what turned out to be our last night without power, we drove to Oregon City and ate delicious hot pizza in our warm car.

ICEPOCALYPSE

The forecast said to expect snow, but instead, we had little bits of ice falling from the sky. After a while, ice covered everything!

I went outside and slipped and slid all over the place. I couldn’t make any snowmen, but I did do some ice sledding!

COVID-19 VACCINE – DOSE 1

A few days ago, Mommy got a message from OHSU that said, because I was autistic and “medically fragile,” they were in Phase 1A for the Covid vaccine and to sign up for a big vaccine party at the airport.

So we drove up there and found lots of other people there, too.

We brought lots of snacks and I entertained myself by taking selfie videos.

After two and half hours, we could see the tent where Mommy and Daddy were getting their vaccine. I was just happy I wasn’t getting a poke!

Daddy got his first.

Then Mommy.

Then we waited for 15 minutes before they set us free.

They got cool Band-Aids, but I still don’t want one!

CHRISTMAS 2020

On Christmas morning, I woke up and immediately went to admire all of my gifts!

Sunnie was also in the holiday spirit, hanging out in her Christmas RV.

After we opened all of our presents, Finley took a nap on his high shelf.

Leading up to Christmas, I opened up a small gift in my Advent house every day of December. Some of the gifts I got were these little Lego cats!

Here is a video of my Christmas day! Thank you for the gifts, Nana and Papa, Aunt Lisa & Uncle Ryan, Uncle Mike & Aunt Sarah, Mommy and Daddy, and Santa!

HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 7 & 8

On the seventh night of Hanukkah, it was very appropriate to light my space shuttle menorah because…

…it was a space kind of night! Grandma and Grandpa sent me some books about rockets and the International Space Station.

Then on the final night of Hanukkah, I had to focus really hard on lighting eight candles candles while Daddy tried to eat my head.

Daddy bought me a book about baseball because I’ve been wanting to know all about the rules.

And Grandma and Grandpa got me a rocket!

I’m super excited to launch it. I’ve already been flying it all over the house. Thank you for all of the Hanukkah gifts!

HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 5 & 6

It was the fifth night of Hanukkah and would you just look at that steady hand?

I got to open up a gift of delicious chocolate truffles. One of my favorite things about a box of chocolates is the map that tells you what’s in each one!

On the sixth night, I started wondering if my space shuttle would take off with all that fire power!

I also opened up my first gift whose contents were a mystery to me even after I opened it! Grandma and Grandpa sent me the Osmo gaming system. I’ll have lots of time to learn it when winter break starts next week!
