A Visit from Nina and Papa

Contrary to belief, we are still alive. It seems that when you have a lot going on in life and visitors (YAY!) the blog falls by wayside. However, this intermission will end shortly and we will post about our most recent acts! And yes, Martha would be completely disappointed that I still have a holiday background on January 18th.

A typical conversation with Abe

Yesterday at lunch while trying to feed Sophia and Peyton simultaneously...

A: Mom, am I going to Juan's house today?
M: If you want to. They invited you over after lunch.
A: Are you taking me or is his mom picking me up?
M: I am going to take you and I will just stay and visit for a couple of minutes.
A: Is it far away?
m: Not really, it is a little further than your school
A: Well my school is a little bit far
M: Well, it is like 5 km. It is not really far away.
A: So is it close?
M: No, it is not close
A: So then it is far away.
M: Abe, not really.
A: So it is perfectly far.
M: Abe, yes, it is perfectly far.
A: So does that mean that my friends who live past Juan's House are really far?
M: (Getting impatient...) Please Abe. Your friends all live in different areas and yes, it takes longer to get to some places than others.
A: But Mom, how far is far away?
M: Okay Abe, really. It depends. Do you want to go to Juan's house after lunch?
A: Yes. Depends on what?
M: Please take a bite and each your lunch so you can go and play.

If only he was this happy to do all of his chores...

Apparently he likes gadgets (or a vacuum named 'Shark') as much as we do!
