Yes, my mom is here! She came to Dallas last Wednesday, and will be here by Friday, August 3.
And today is her B-Day!
Antonela & Hana & Mayumi went to measure Hana's weight yesterday, and she is growing as she
should be. Indeed her newborn outfits are too small now, and 3 months are better fir for her long
body. (We think she is longer, and it is so hard to find the perfect fit for her.) My mom is cooking
and cleaning, and helping Antonela and Hana very well. Time flies...10 more days. I hope she will
enjoy being with us, though we cannot do the special things.
Oh yes, we got tickets for Antonela and Hana to visit Ciatici in August and September. They will
leave here on August 15th, and will be back on September 13th. I am planning to go and see them
sometime in September. Antonela is very excited, and so is Hana...I think.
Today is my mo's birthday. Antonela and mayumi are going to enjoy spa together today.

810 Mackinie OK.....not sure again
We are at EZ mart.....had starbucks ans cranberry juice. Hana had milk, of course. For the first time in my life, I bought a lottery. Pick 3. It is still bright outside and the temperature is 89F outside. It seems everybody comes to gas station here.....or maybe there is no other place to go here...anyway this station is very busy. Hana seems to be happy when held but not stay in the car seat. We should not take more than 90 from here to home, if we can keep driving without any interuption.
We are all tired now, and resdy to go to bed.

It was just too hot today. Antonela and Hana went to Jessica's baby shower, while I was having a
cup of coffee at Panera bread. We then took a picture at Wal-Mart, which will be developed by
August 3rd. After the pictures, we went to Athletic Club for Fort Smith Junior's cook-out.
I mowed the back yard at 7pm. We had fried rice for dinner. It is 9:52pm and Hana is sound asleep.

It has been raining like crazy this afternoon. I hope strong lightnings will not hit me...
Hana is doing great, and yesterday we got the first cucumber from our vegetable garden. It was huge, but delicious. Hana looks so small compared with the cucumber we got.
Hana got social security number and had her passport picture taken yesterday at Bedford. Surely she is not looking straight, but I hope they are okay...I have little confidence with this picture.

Hana's weight went up again. Very very good sign. Still cannot long during night, but hay, she is growing healthy, so who can complain. It is rwally hot today, and humid. Morning wa so foggy.

For the first time, we were out of the house with Hana more than 6 hours on Sunday. We went to Fayetteville for shopping and eating out. It was much easier than we thought, and it was really refreshing. Hana got a few new clothes, and we ate at Noodles for Italian. Antonela loves Macaroni Grill better, though.

It is Saturday! Hana, Antonela and I are at Calico County for breakfast....for the first time in a few month...we had breakfast together somewhere in the city. Hana was quiet until our big plates came to the table...and we had to feed her. Very good timing...we thought she was going to be just fine throughout this first-ever breakfast. The weather is great with wide spread of blue sky with no clouds.

Yesterday we bought a dryer...Kenmore...at Sears. We needed one but could not buy one for about a year. Small thing, maybe, it will be coming on Monday. To us, very exciting.

Governor's visit to our camous went well. It could be better, as always, but this morning paper had a nice story about our campus. It is alwasys goo to read good things about where I work. University is getting much more organized and functioning efficiently. I love what I do and where I work a lot.
