Looking back at all the pics. we have from the last month, it's way too overwhelming to think about "getting caught up," so I decided to choose just a few magical moments to savor. This Christmas break, we were able to do mommy daughter and daddy daughter dates. This spur of the moment one was one of the best. While I was painting Macy's nails in her bedroom, Carly was getting a restaurant ready for us, complete with place cards, straws in our special drinks, and a candle. It was really sweet. Other dates included going swimming, to the movies, and rock climbing.
I found this one on our camera and thought it was neat that one of the girls captured it, probably when I was still sleeping.
This was a fun time of jamming!
Our friends from Mexico joined us in singing Christmas carols and other songs in Spanish, English, and German. I loved it that they were so happy making music with us amateurs even though the wife is a professional cellist and the husband is a professional opera singer.
I wish I would've had a video camera going when I showed up with my bro. "Big Mike" to pick up Macy from school. She literally ran to him and gave him a huge hug.
Although this pic. is a bit blurry, it captures the feeling of awe Carly (and all the kids have) of their awesome uncle. Here she is wearing his backpack and truly looking up to him. We're so glad he came for a few days and that he gets to come back in a couple weeks after some more traveling.
