Cold, cold, very cold!

Went to the mall and Sophia and Iwent to the playground while Assen went ice skating with mom. Sophia liked to go through all tunnels. I mean all of them! every single one of them! she also tried to walk out of the playground. Not that she was running away from me. It was more like a discovery adventure, and let's see what I can find out there!
Had dinner at Aoshe's. Sophia tried to eat her food with choptsicks. Then, we visited the Chinese store next to the restaurant and found some Chinese candies. Assen sang twinkle twinkle little star and Sophia tried to sing along. Wished I had my video camera! Sometimes Sophia eats very well, and sometimes she just does not want to eat anything. I wished she could talk and say what is wrong.

How high is Mexico City?

Mexico City is 2240 m high, one of the highest cities in the world. That's about 7350 feet high. My mother is not doing well and my brother thinks she would probably feel better in a different city.

Happy New Year!

Time flies when you are having fun! Another year goes by and the kids keep growing and we keep getting wiser, right? Sophia seems like she will be a climber. Today, I saw how she climbed up to her buster chair in the dinning room and sat on it. She is also very skilled with her silverware. She eats her scrambled eggs with a fork, not a messy girl.
