UNO
Recently Sofia discovered the joy of playing UNO. We've had it for a while but we didn't really play it with her before, mostly because we usually don't have time to hang out and play games. But it is easy enough that she gets the hang of it, so if she wants to play we will continue trying to find the time. I am all for other activities that don' involve sitting around watching tv.
9 lives
I feel like in the last 35 years I have cheated death more than once. First I had my appendix removed when I was 3. I then went on to have two more surgeries before I was 15. At 24 I had a car accident where the car was totaled, but I did not even get a scratch. Then, at 32, I had to have surgery once again right after Bella was born.
Turns out, I got to cheat death all over again two months ago. During a business trip a friend of mine and I went on a helicopter ride. Then, last week, we learned that a helicopter from the exact same company we used went down - neither the 4 passengers nor the pilot survived. Couple days later I read that two other military helicopters went down somewhere else here in the US.
Needless to say, I don’t think I am going on another helicopter ride anytime soon. I may have cheated death a few times already, but I don't need to push my luck.

Theatre!
Last weekend, before our posada, we went back to the children's theater to see "Holiday Follies". This time around the play was kind of weak, but it was nice to get out of the house all the same. I love being able to take the girls to special events.
Posada
Last Saturday our Mexican girlfriends, Gabi, and I organized a Posada at Perla's house. When we were little I probably only went to couple of them, so I don't necessarily remember them very well. But I was excited for us to organize one, and live the tradition once again.
We probably got one or two things wrong, but we did our best. We had pozole, ponche, tostadas, rosca de reyes, a piñata, and even luces de bengala - which my parents didn't allow when we were kids. That was a treat.
