Outdoor pictures

 Dec 23,

Coming back from our family walk we took a couple of outdoor pictures. It was getting really cold though, so we did not linger for too long.

Christmas Activities

 Dec 23,

Given that we are still in the middle of the pandemic, our Christmas activities are very mellow and predictable. TV watching, walks, outdoor play (even in the cold), piano playing by the kids, and lots of board games. Some Uno, some memory game, and lots and lots of Bananagrams. I am glad I brought it because it has given us plenty of play hours. Even Diego and Adrian are obsessed with it. Sofia is, by far, the reigning champ.

Your Mantra for 2021

 Dec 21,

I saw this in Linked In and I did it. It is nice to have something to believe in. The first 4 words I saw are: Connection, Strength, Gratitude, and Change.

One the road again

 Dec 19,

Here we go again, driving to Baltimore. Only because we love the Eshwars.

Christmas Cookies

 Dec 16,

Today Bella wanted to make and decorate Christmas cookies, so we did. Well, she baked the cookies, and after dinner we did the decorating. At first Sofia was not very excited about the prospect, but ended up really getting into it. She spent a while making a boy and a girl.

Dentist Appointment

Dec 15,

Today Bella had her dentist appointment where she had to be completely sedated. Both Lionel and I went because one had to drive, and the other one had to sit in the back with her. It was both funny and sad seeing her come out of the anesthesia. Let's hope we don't have to repeat the experience anytime soon.

French Toast

 Dec 13,

Today Bella made french toast for the both of us. We were supposed to go running 2 miles together, but she bailed, so she felt bad. And this was her way to still spend time together - just the two of us.
