AUGUST 2020 - DEAR EMILY

 Hello my darling Em,

Our Level 3 lock down was in place from 1 June to 17 August and then some of the rules were amended from 17 August.  But we still can't visit our familiy even though 50 people can meet in a church, private maids and gardeners can return to work and one can exercise in parks or on the roads with friends.  I suggested to Tammy that I pretend to be your maid, and Gumpie pretends to be your gardener, and we'll be able to legally visit you every day!  There is still a curfew and people can't stay out after 10pm at night.


18 August - Level 2 which came into effect and further eased restrictions and finally allowed us to visit family!  But we still had to maintain physical distancing and restrictions on some leisure and social activities to prevent a resurgence of the virus.  But, all restrictions on inter-provisional travel was lifted (so we could go to Kruger if we wanted to) and people could now stay in lodges, hotels etc.

Early in the lockdown, I decided to order a special gift for you for Takealot - a double bunk for your dolls - and have it delivered, just to cheer you up.  But, after 6 weeks they told us that there were no stocks and they refunded me the money.
The other day I asked you if you still wanted the double bunk or would you prefer the money so that you could buy what you wanted or needed.  You decided to take the money.




Mom said "Little miss Em decided she wanted more than just make up. So we ordered a few makeup things and now she wants to get some stuff for Lucy and maybe a friend for Lucy from Takealot with the rest of her money. She had fun picking all the makeup and looking at all the eyeshadow pallets"


Just look how gorgeous you look in pink!

                                                                             And blue!



Your Mom and Dad bought a robot vacuum-mop machine.  When we saw it we decided to get one too.  We weren't sure how to set it up so we visited you and Tammy set up the Wifi connection on my cell phone and we watched how yours whizzed around the lounge!  We've called ours Dora-the-Explorer!





You decided that I needed a new profile picture on my phone so you took this selfie of us.



The warmer weather arrived and you were able to play with Sharkey in your pool!

                                           
      Here you are baking your first Carrot cake

I know you can't wait for your new puppy and we are all looking forward to Greg and Sharon's baby's arrival.  That'll be two new babies welcomed to the Nilsen clan!


Great news!  The female Labbies have each had 6 puppies - one had 5 girls and one boy - so a little girl has been booked for you.  Oh my word, they are cute.  



Love you Miss Em - more than smarties and more than Jelly-tots!
