We arrived in canada last night.  Bro-in-law came to pick us up at the airport, sis did not come, the car would be too small to drive the entire family.  It was not that cold, not much colder than suzhou.  The children were disappointed because they did not see snow.

After a long drive, got back to sis’s house, and she was so happy to see us.  She has a big stomach, haha.    My parents were so happy to see her.  As usual, my parents so happy to see her, I see tears in their eyes.  Me too.  My sis looks like a different person, her belly is big and cannot even hug her without touching her belly haha.   I wanted to have a long talk with her, but she looks very tired.

My sis still works.  My mom asked her to stop working, but she works till the end of this month.  She is a tough one, she can take care of herself very well.  I woke up early and was in the kitchen with her when she was preparing to go to work.  I see her prepare her own breakfast, make her hot chocolate, pack for lunch, etc …. she is so independent even though her belly is so big that makes her hard to move.    I opened the door for her and saw her get into her car slowly, drove away.   Comparing to her, I always have helps from everyone when I need it.  I feel sad for her and felt I am so lucky.

Her house has only 3 bedrooms.  She has a housemate, but she moved out temporary to let us use her room.  I stay in her room.  Parents stay in the baby’s room.  The baby’s room only has a baby bed, and a double bed.

It is snowing now.  The children all went out to play with snow, along with my mom ….
