Almost 6!

Hi there!
I have this poor blog totally in a corner of my life! I think about it often, but lately I don't even think about posting anything...I really need to consider what I will do about it, either get to an end with it or just go into writing in the spur of the moment as usual. We shall see.
Today I have a nice thing to share. I was at a restaurant having lunch with some friends in a private room, when a woman interrupted us and said, is there someone here with a black and white purse??? Remember that black and white purse I made for myself last time? Well, that was me! I though oh no! I lost it, someone took it!! but no! it was hanging from my chair! And she then proceeded to say...."I loved it! where did you buy it??" so I said "I made it (with a big smile)" and she said "do you sell them?" to which if she had asked a year ago I would have said "yes!!" and figure out a way to get more of that pretty bold fabric...but right now...I had to say no. My friends were looking like me like I was nuts letting that opportunity go by! But I really have my head in so many other places right now, that I rather make things for the people I know and love.

Hola!
Tengo abandonado a este pobre blog! Pienso en el a menudo, pero ultimamente no tengo ganas de escribir nada...necesito considerar lo que quiero hacer con esto, o acabarlo o seguir escribiendo esporadicamente cuando me apetezca. Veremos.
Hoy me ha pasado algo que me gustaria compartir. Estaba en un restaurante comiendo con unas amigas en una habitacion privada cuando de repente una mujer nos interrumpe y dice, hay alguien aqui con un bolso blanco y negro??? Os acordais de ese bolso que me hice el otro dia? Bueno, esa soy yo! pense oh no! lo perdi, alguien se lo llevo!!! pero no! estaba colgado de mi silla! Y entonces siguio diciendo..."Me encanta! donde lo has comprado??" a lo que le dije "lo hice yo (con una gran sonrisa en mi cara)" y me dijo "los vendes?" a lo que hace un anho le hubiera respondido si!!" y hubiera visto la manera de encontrar mas tela como esa...pero ahora...tuve que decirle que no. Mis amigas me miraban como si estuviera loca desperdiciando una oportunidad asi! Pero la verdad es que tengo mi cabeza en tantos otros lugares en este momento, que prefiero hacer cosas para aquellos que conozco y que quiero.

And we just came back from our annual research trip to Wisconsin. Luca participates in a research study of bilateral implants. I was so impressed with his performance. Of course he has to do better as he is one year older, but last year he was sick too so his performance, although it was good, wasn't great. Now I am looking forward to seeing the results, I love seeing the way he thinks and reasons things, he is going to be a logical boy just like his parents :) We also spent time with good friends, it is great having the opportunity to see them every year. Here is Luca with the beautiful fall foliage in the background. He will be 6 in just a couple of days...my big big boy...

Y acabamos de regresar de nuestro viaje anual a Wisconsin. Luca participa en un estudio de investigacion sobre implantes bilaterales. Me impresiono como lo hizo de bien. Por supuesto que tiene que hacerlo mejor que el anho pasado pues es un anho mayor, pero ademas el anho pasado estaba muy malito y  aunque habia avanzado un anho o mas no le fue tan bien como debia. Ahora estoy deseando ver los resultados, me encanta ver como piensa y razona las cosas, va a ser un ninho logico como sus papas :) Tambien pasamos un buen rato con nuestros amigos, que bien tener esta oportunidad de juntarnos cada anho. Aqui esta Luca con las hojas de los arboles en otonho. Cumplira 6 en solo un par de dias...mi ninho grandote...
