WEEK 41: october 7-8

october 8 -- this is the last day of tita tess and tito carlos in paris. time has flown too fast. i was just waiting for them to arrive from canada and now they are flying back to canada. they did spend almost 2 weeks in europe but only 3 days in paris (arrival and departure dates not included). i feel like i still have so much to show them about paris but they didn't have enough time.

i was surprised to find a letter from tita tess and tito carlos. one letter for me and nitz thanking us for everything, and 2 letters for isabelle and rafael. it was so sweet of them! i was deeply moved by their letter that i cried. i gave the kids the letter just before they went to bed that night. rafael read the letter aloud so isabelle could hear what was written. i was surprised rafael was teary-eyed after reading the letter. i just hugged him tight.


october 7 -- here is isabelle all dressed-up and waiting for her friend to arrived. she invited 3 friends over to play and celebrate her birthday but only 1 came. she was still glad that one friend came to play with her. it wasn't a costume party, isabelle just wanted to wear her princess dress (a gift from haydee..).
