Danita had quite a successful week with Mira. They played together for two days. Then it was time to try to put Mira back in daycare while Danita was at Mark’s home on standby. It was quite successful. I drove up Friday and took Danita home Saturday. I was granted the privilege of reading some books to Mira Friday evening. This week Jiajia has a lot of flexibility, due to the holiday slowdown. The big news is — Jiajia’s folks are coming from China to visit. It’s going to be a long term visit. The preliminary plan is to stay 5 months. We plan to meet them before we go on vacation.

We just got home from a delightful performance at the Meyerhof Symphony Hall. The BSO played favorites while a cirque group did apparently impossible things with ropes, hoops, and bodies. It was a festive atmosphere. They even had a small music group in the lobby playing some pre-concert music.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
