A Quiet Day

Today was Maggie and mine's first real "day" together. It sounds funny after over a month at home but with jet lag, the Christmas shopping and La Nina's school break, we really haven't just had a "day" together.

The Magster and I had quite a nice day together. We ran a couple of errands, did some laundry, took a couple of naps (well, Maggie did, not me.) My biggest accomplishment was making a batch of congee, a Chinese rice porridge, that babies love. Truth be told, it is quite easy and I am stunned by the quantity of congee that 2 cups of rice yields. Maggie ate 2 big bowls of my creation, so I must have done ok.

La Nina went back to school today after being home for two weeks. While I missed her little spirit flitting about this morning, she really missed school and she was excited about seeing her teachers and friends. It seems like there are always 100 mini-dramas that happen during a day with 2 girls under 3, but I won't go into them tonight. We had a quiet little day and I look forward to many more.
