A day at the Nature Center

Busy days...

I (Takeo) have been busy for last a few days. Some surprise visit, and thunders of e-mails from students...almost threw me into the swamp.

Hana has been sick with a thore throat. It is very sad to see that she is coughing at night, and looking that she has problems in sleeping. She has not slept well for at least two nights now...means Antonela and I did not have a good sleep....either.

Last week the campus hosted a Holiday Party for all staff and faculty members. Very nice...we enjoyed ourselves alot. Hot dogs...BBQ...I loved meals as well. The only thing was Hana did not like the Santa...well, she does not like any Santa....and keep crying all the time. I do not remember when I saw Santa for the first time in my life, but she was crying very loud.

December 9, 2008

It is almost 6pm now, and Takeo is already awake.

Antonela and Hana are still sleeping in the bed.

Antonela went to see Dr. Torres yesterday, and our baby boy is doing great. Her stomach is much bigger than the one she had for Hana, though. I mean much much bigger.

We has a strong thunder storm last night, and of course a large noise woke up Hana, and we had to bring her into our bed. We started putting her in her own bed we bought in IKEA a few weeks ago. She seems to like it, but still cannot make it through the whole night.

Anything new in the world.....a few weeks ago, Mumbai was attacked by terrorist, and guests at the expensive hotel were killed....economy is not good, and still talking about the auto maker bail out....
