The week in review

What a week it has been. Natalia is getting weaker but we saw some revival yesterday after the nurse came out to help in the poopoo department. Yes, she needed to and hadn't in the last 5 days so to say she was cranky and in pain was an understatement. While her body is slowly losing the battle her mind is as sharp as ever. She has one liners and zings that just pop out to make us all laugh.

Sophia and Edgar went out yesterday for some one on one time. Papa took her to buy new shoes...as I have been shopping with Pia I knew what to expect but Edgar learned that his youngest learned very good shopping skills with Mama last summer. She knows what her boundaries are and does pretty good at sticking to them...ie she stays by your side and doesn't ask for everything she sees. She also knows what she likes and it doesn't take forever to choose something. She told Edgar that "shopping would be so much easier if she had her own credit card." Oh yes, it has begun. She also is a little trend setter...when Edgar held up a pair of sneakers for her to check out she told him "oh my friends all have those" expecting to hear I have to have them too he was quiet surprised to hear "I need something cuter."

Edgar and I went to dinner with friends last night. We have found our new "place". It is Rio, a Brazilian dining experience, over in the Sierra Vista Mall. Love it! Anyway, it was relaxing to get out and enjoy what is and what will be. We just talked about stuff...normal everyday stuff and it was great.

If plans come together this morning Pia and I will be heading to church while Natalia naps then off to the park with the 4 of us. We want to get her out in the fresh air for a bit. We have blown a lot of bubbles on the patio now it's time to explore the park.

Much love to you all,
Roni
