Renaissance Hotel

Mar 10,

This morning I attended an event at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Cincinnati. I had no idea this place was even there, but it is pretty nice. Very Art Deco. I enjoyed the couple of hours I was there.



Bella's Project

Mar 10,

Today Bella had to present her Great Barrier Reef project at school, and it was very important to her that I came to see her. So I did. Her research was about the Green Turtle. She was supposed to research 10 facts about her chosen animal, and either create a poster or a 3D model. She chose to do a poster, and made some turtles, sand, and water from felt. Sofia and I helped her a bit, but she did most of the work. 

As I suspected it would happen, after her presentation she asked to go home early with me. Her teacher said it was Ok, so we stopped by to tell Sofia - who was taking her class picture at the time- and left. Bella wanted a treat, so we went to a Starbucks to get her a hot chocolate and a pastry. We then hung out for a little bit before going back to school to pick up our Sofifi.

Lion

Mar 5,

Today I got to see Lion with Sofia and my mom. It was a great movie, but very sad. I cried, and cried, and cried. There are no words to express how sad it is to know that so many kids in the world go through even worse things in life.

Mardi Gras

Mar 4,

Tonight we went to a Mardi Gras party at Isabel's parents' house. The funny thing is that we ran into Sofia's former piano teacher because he was there playing with his band. How funny is that!



Time with my girl

Mar 4,

This morning Sofia and I drove to Lebanon to meet the photographer who had taken pictures of her a few weeks ago. We were meeting her to look at the pictures and choose the ones we wanted to buy. We met her at the cutest coffee shop, and from there we went to the cutest store right next door. We had fun looking around and bought a few accessories. We then had lunch at diner-style place before we came back down this way. I really enjoyed our time together. It was a rarely and lovely time - just the two of us.








Snowy morning run. Sunny afternoon

Mar 4,

And this is just how crazy the weather is in Cincinnati sometimes. This morning we ran in snowy weather, and I literally accumulated snow in my clothes during our 6 miles run. But in the afternoon the sun came out, and it got warmer, so the snow had completely melted by 4:00 pm.


Las Vegas Work Trip

Mar 1,

This week I spent 3 days in Las Vegas for a work trip. I was glad I went, because it was an important work event. But in general I don't really like going there. I don't smoke, I don't really drink, and I don't gamble. So it is not my happy place. I was glad I went for our work meeting, but I was happy to be back home.
