Happy Momo-chan

Momo-chan received birthday presents from his Bulgarian friends. Very nice as he can learn new skills but he needs help for sure.

Making origami Mickey mouse

First activity after breakfast was making Mickey mouse with origami.

Matching outfit

Twins had matching outfit on themselves. It's getting rare as they grow up.

Social distancing at Safeway

This is how the line to cashier looks like. You need to follow the guidelines and keep 6 feet distance for each other. Cashier prefers credit or debit card and they don't take your rewards card to scan wither. You need to read the numbers and they type them in.

Happy Momo-chan

Momo-chan got some presents from Pingu, Pinga and Pinga's sister. Here's Momo-chan with happy smile.

Good night, Pingu

Here's QP-chan getting Pingu to sleep. She put him a hat, pijama, and blanket. Good night, Pingu!

Pedaling QP-chan!

QP-chan just started practicing biking on a normal bike the other day but she is already pretty fast. She needs help starting and stopping but she rode around the block without almost any help.

Playground closed

Just like the announcement on Friday, the city of Vancouver closed off playgrounds with yellow tapes. Twins were disappointed to see them and it was not easy to explain to them why.

Lost Lagoon

Momo-chan didn't want to follow so four of them were at Stanley Park. There were more people out than Pinga thought.

Pedalling QP-chan

It was QP-chan's second time trying pedalling bike. It was a bit difficult to balance but she could pedal. Good job QP-chan!

Compass art

Twins nanny has a compass in her bag. Coco-chan became curious and she showed him how to use it. Here he is creating picture by using compass.

Decorating cookies

After the breakfast was cookie decoration. They enjoyed it a lot.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mono-chan's day camp was cancelled so he is at home. Pinga got those donuts with lucky clovers. They looked better than they tasted. But the boys enjoyed them. QP-chan was still sleeping then.

Not much on the shelves

Pinga went to Safeway in the afternoon to buy some groceries. She couldn't get what she wanted as there were no milk, egg, chicken or toilet papers. Wow...it's happening all over the world.

English Bay

While Coco-chan stayed home with Pinga, QP-chan went out with their nanny to the Second Beach.

Train Coco-chan

Coco-chan was suffering severe stomach pain this weekend. It seemed to be much better this morning. But then he started to have leg pain again this afternoon.

Driving to Sedona

Momo-chan said it looks like Japanese mountain road on the way to Sedona. It was mallow winding road in between tall trees and there were cute small bridges too.

Snowy morning

Let's go home

After Yavapai point, they decided to go home. Coco-chan woke up with pain and it was important for Coco-chan to rest.

Fossil exhibition

Momo-chan and QP-chan were curiously looking at the exhibition. Coco-chan was tired and fell asleep on the stroller.

Yavapai point

They took a shuttle bus and came to Yavapai point. The scenery is just amazing but Pinga was closely watching them so that they didn't lean out. Pinga's colleague told her about people falling off to a cliff as they were taking cool photos.

Grand Canyon

Coco-chan was in pain and couldn't really wall so Momo-chan and QP-chan pushed stroller. Here they are at Mather point.

Hello squirrels

Coco-chan and Pinga saw these squirrels just after parking the car. They didn't seem to be so afraid of people.

Queueing at the entrance

Pinga suggested shuttle bus but Pingu thought car is more convenient. They got into this queue to enter the national park and a shuttle bus just passed by them. Hmm...shuttle bus next time.

Leaving for Tusayan

They left Phoenix for Tutayan at 9am. Tusayan is where their hotel for tonight is. Momo-chan got bored and twins wanted to get off after two hours. They finally got there around noon.

Forgotten weapon?!

Pinga became frozen seeing this poster on the bus to pick up the rental car. Wow... Welcome to USA...

Helping kids

As Pinga was pushing the stroller Coco-chan was sitting, QP-chan pushed the suitcase and Momo-chan carried his booster seat. Good job, kids!

At Vancouver airport

It was very difficult to decide if they go or cancel the trip considering Coco-chan's condition. But they decided to go. So they woke up early to catch the flight to Phoenix.

Skiing QP-chan

QP-chan and Pinga went skiing again. They left right after lunch and there were many people at Grouse Mountain. One of the lifties recognized QP-chan.

Purple rash

Coco-chan's legs, arms and hips look like this with rash. His joints are inflamed and warm. Poor Coco-chan...

Hospital again

Coco-chan and Pinga went to St. Paul's hospital again for follow-up appointment. His condition was not so bad when visiting Dr but the condition seems to worsen in the evening.

Church playtime

While Coco-chan took it easy at home, QP-chan joined playtime at church. She likes to sing and dance.

Aquarium

They stayed home in the afternoon and made this mini aquarium. There are squids, star fish, Nemo, and rainbow fish.

To the preschool

Since Coco-chan was in pain, just QP-chan went to preschool.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura ヘノッホ・シェーンライン紫斑病

From all the symptoms he has, Coco-chan was diagnosed as HSP. It's a inflammation of blood vessels. Because of that, Coco-chan has pain in his stomach and his legs. It's good to finally find out what it is but that doesn't really help Coco-chan relieving from pain. The doctor said within one month, he would get better. That sounds like a looooong time...

St Paul's hospital again

Coco-chan and Pinga were at the hospital yet another time. Pinga was really hoping doctors figure out what Coco-chan has correctly this time. Appointment was at 1 pm but the dr came at 1:50.
