we left manhattan immediately after chanda's dance rehearsal and drove three hours up to connecticut to see my mom and dad. we picked up a coffee cake that i had reserved at the bakery in town and then had coffee and tea with them at their assisted living apartment. and then we came back to my sister's house. she and her husband had gone to the cape for a few days.
our evening's task was to finish hemming nana's winter pajamas.
making dinner . .
the next morning we picked nana and nonno up around 10:30 and brought them back for french toast, eggs, orange juice and bacon.
this is actually a photo i took during our last visit with them in september.
i think morgana is working on some german homework.
here she's talking with my mom in german which warms my heart completely.
the leaves are beginning to turn. it's so pretty.
chanda wanted to do a ballerina photo session . . this is just one of millions. i should probably delete more in my photo file or it will crash.
morgana doing her handstand . . it's so fun having her home again!
we stayed over through monday and left at 4:30 am tuesday morning as chanda had a new ballet class to attend that she couldn't miss. she was invited along with another girl from her afternoon class to an 8:30 am trainee class, followed by a pas de deux class. we got into the city at 8 am after driving almost two and a half hours in the dark. the sky didn't begin to brighten until about 6:45 am. the headlights on our car are not the best. there was also a lot more traffic than we thought at such an early time. there were lots of cars on the road at 5:30!
That is a pretty picture of your parents. And so funny that your mom is finding her German again.
