My Mexican Lion

Sep 14,

Today Bella put this around her head and said she was my Mexican Lion. This is a picture of her roaring oh so powerfully.

Sands Open House

Sep 13,

This evening was Open House at Sands, where we got to meet the new teachers and walk around the school. We also got to see one of Bella's projects, where they choose their favorite part of their body. Apparently for Bella it was her hands.

Rain, rain, go away

Sep 9,

This week has been a complete soggy mess. It started to rain during the week, and it did not stop at all the entire weekend. I had plans to do work outside the house, but that was clearly not an option. At least we had time to catch up on laundry, put stuff away from our dinner with friends a couple of weeks ago, put together our new headboard, and prepare for the week. It was not exactly a fun weekend, but at least it was a productive one. 

Bella's Top Ten

Sep 5,

At school Bella had to make a list of her 10 favorite places. She doesn't even know how lucky she is to have a list like this.

I saw this on Instragram and it made me happy. Good job Coke. Good job. I am still not drinking Coke though, but elotes: Bring them on!

Shakira in Las Vegas

Sep 2,

I have never been a big fan of Las Vegas, but when I saw that Shakira was playing here, and on a holiday weekend, I was the first one to suggest that we came here for our anniversary trip. Lionel loves Las Vegas, and I love a bunch of Shakira's songs, so it was a win-win for both of us. Leaving the girls is never easy, but we had a great time at the concert, Lionel is having fun going to the Casinos to play poker, and I have enjoyed a couple of long workouts at the giant gym. It really makes a difference not having to rush to get started with the day. Yesterday I ran 9.5 miles and today I ran 5, followed by time to stretch, do the foam roller, and even do some weights for my arms. All while listening to music that gave me energy and made me happy.

Smile

Sofia always liked this t-shirt and in fact is wearing it for one of her school pictures. Now Bella inherited it and we decided to take a picture of her wearing it so we can put the pictures side by side later.
