Memorial Day weekend

Nuestra sobrina y madrina de Eli, Rachel, vino de upstate NY a visitarnos durante el fin de semana de Memorial Day. Mi tia Betty llego de Caracas al siguiente dia y JaimeO, Angelita, Pili con su novio Skyler y obviamente Isabella, tambien se unieron a la celebracion y pasaron un par de dias con nosotros. Las que mas disfrutaron fueron las dos ninas, quienes cada dia parecen entenderse mejor y ser una compania la una para la otra. Espero les guste las foticos.

During Memorial Day weekend we had the company of our niece Rachel who came from upstate NY . My aunt Betty arrived from Caracas and my brother and his family joined the group and spent a couple of days with us.

Mi Greguito


No matter how cold and windy it was up there, we really had a blast at Mt. Washington


The temperature dropped drastically in a matter of a few miles

Pasamos un rato muy agradable a pesar del frio. A Eli le fascino el viento y su madrina se encargo de hacerla reir y consentirla durante la visita

Aunt Betty

On the way down, just a few miles from the top, you could appreciate this beautiful and clear sky

But if you looked to the other side, then you would see this...

Hicimos varias paradas durante la bajada. Aqui ya esta mas calmado

Se divisa un cielo claro y una vista preciosa

Y las dos chicas aqui disfrutando

Enjoying the wind

Quick Update from Papa

Yes, it's CPR. I'm smiling because it worked.

Feigned innocence ...

Denial ...


Criminal activity.

En la cocina ... con que? No se.

Caliente!

Simpatico

Buen Provecho

Shakin' it for Mama.

Eli loves the Jeep.
Siga Papa!

She's good incentive to run.

Quick update from Mama : Eli calls the yellow color, banana. The rest of the colors are all green for her. I've been trying to have an explanation for it and the only thing I can think of is that the first color I taught her was green (it's my mother's favorite color). From then on, no matter how many times you teach her the colors, she still says "verde" when you ask her what color is something.

This week, Eli got bitten really bad on the back of her head. She has a red spot, about 2 inches big and the center has a hard bump. I was so nervous about it that today I took her to the doctor. The nurse said that it was nothing we had to worry about and that in a couple of days it should go away. We'll keep checking on it.

Today Eli said good bye to a very nice lady who was coming to play with her and do some speech therapy on Fridays. Eli was re-evaluated today and she is doing so well that she no longer qualifies for this program. She would start asking for Lee early in the week hoping that I would say: yes, she is coming today. But this will not be the case anymore, not even on Fridays and although I am very happy for Eli's great results and fabulous work performed by Lee, I feel sad because we'll miss her visits. Specially my baby. Well, she'll get over and probably we'll have Lee visiting once in a while.

This is my update for now. Take care and thanks for reading our blog.
