This morning...

after a week home from school recovering with Jordan from sickness, Gigi took two blankets to school for naptime.....one was Eliza's and one was Jordan's (her words). Sigh.

Friday Morning Farmers Market

On Friday morning, Mama took me to the Farmers Market before she went off to work. We bumped into Zoe (and Lucy!) It was so great to see them since we have been quarantined with Jordan and my sickness.

Steak and Bagels Anyone?

Gigi Says the Darndest Things

Gigi, looking at Mama's 2 phones (personal and business cell phone): Is one for calling and one for messages?

AND

In the shower this morning, Mama asked Gigi if she wanted to shower with her sometime. Gigi's response "Yes, when I am a grownup".

O Hannukah O Hanukkah

Gigi burst out into song yesterday. A little out of season. Ah well.

Happy Birthday, Mema!

Eating Bananas (Finger Food Part I)

Martin Luther King

Gigi to Mama (while Mama was watching an MLK video posted by our friend, Julie): What are you watching?

Mama: A video about Martin Luther King. (more conversation about who MLK is)

Gigi: Oh, does he have a bus? I know Martin Luther King. Peter talked about him. (Peter is a music teacher who comes to Gigi's preschool).

After the video was over, "Can we watch it again?" (and then, after it was over again, "Can we watch it again"...and then after it was over, "can we find another video about Martin Luther King?"...

Love this girl and love her school, too!

Swimming at Mema and Pepa's

This morning, we went to the pool...in my Hello Kitty bathing suit.

I swam and Jordan soaked his toes in the water.

Eating Pear and Apple

Breakfast with my Babies and Dinner with Jordan

I love Camille and she loves me

Real Hot Chocolate

Last weekend, Daddy was reading me the Dora book "Chilly Day".  The story is about finding their way to the chocolate tree so Dora's Abuela could make her a special chilly day surprise -- hot chocolate. After we were done with the book, Daddy made me hot chocolate.  Yum!

I love my bath!

Cheese, Glorious Cheese

Yummy!  String cheese is delicious!

Look, Mama, no hands!

Just a handful of pictures (by Mama)

Mama here. Up at 1 am. Listening to Gigi breathe heavy. She has had a fever for more than 24 hours which is not her usual. Poor girl. Finally, some new pictures. My in-house technology consultant has informed me that with Picassa, I will be able to post pictures faster and easier than ever. I used a workaround suggested by a friend, but am ready for the upload of many pictures with one click.
And, this is why Gigi shouldn't be going to the grocery store (or ANY store for that matter) with Daddy. Can you say "wrapped around finger"? She brought this "thing" home from the specialty food store Allen goes to....same store that produced a Hello Kitty tin with a cake in it that we "needed"...it is still in the pantry, cake uneaten. The "thing" below is filled with fruit jellos or something like that. I don't think Gigi really likes them, though the picture tells a different story. She just likes the container which becomes a bank when they are all gone. Maybe I can make them magically disappear?
We have a picture of Gigi with this same cat when she was not even 1 year old. I should dig it out. Very friendly cat.

Melese....what a sweetheart and beauty. He celebrated his 2nd birthday last week and we had a blast at the party. Check out the amazing cake made by his Dad. Now, that is LOVE.





And, last weekend, we hired a new cleaning crew. They did an amazing job!
