终于来电了

因为有了缘缘,听说热带风暴要在新奥尔良登陆,我们全家决定连夜赶往佛罗里达州,也算被迫度假吧。等到飓风过去后上周六回到家,发现整个小区就我们几家没电,和Entergy在网上公布的信息吻合,可怎么也没想到这么倒霉的事情发生在自己身上。更要命的是,缘缘去的蒙校要重新申请州里的执照才能开张,我们收到电子邮件的通知并没说什么时候学校才能正常开学。长周末缘缘只能在几个商店逛来逛去,吃快餐或者中餐自助,晚上到朋友家借住,而我们还要为她物色保姆。今天发现家里有电了简直比中了彩票还要高兴,终于可以做饭、洗衣服、看电视、哄缘缘看Zoodles视频、睡个安稳觉了。不知道下午去上课会有多少学生返校,其中又有多少人还在为恢复正常的生活而奔忙,我能够感受到的是这个城市的居民已经被飓风炼出了坚强的神经,大家都已学会以同情、问候和鼓励互相关照。缘缘似乎也开始明白她生命中第一次逃难的经历终于等到了苦尽甘来。

Yuan @ PCB

She does not seem to be impressed by the sunset from beach view. Nor did she want to watch those old fashioned automobiles marching through the Pier Park.

缘缘的万圣节

上个周末带缘缘去了二战博物馆,顺便看了看附近的当代艺术馆和Julia街边大大小小的画廊。等我们赶到儿童博物馆的时候,已经到了快闭馆的时间,因为万圣节的缘故,有很多小朋友在博物馆里办大型聚会,缘缘似乎对没有她自己能参加的聚会有点失望。 今天是万圣节,我特意早去接缘缘回家,先到我们全家最喜欢的Zea吃晚饭,然后推着小车拿着Trick or Treat的袋子到各个商店里要点糖果给缘缘过万圣节。缘缘虽然不吃那些巧克力和糖,可每样糖果都拿在手里不停地把玩了好久。希望等缘缘大一些能参加七岁以下儿童的 万圣节化装比赛,在南瓜灯下照几张漂漂的糖水片。

缘缘在家里玩耍

小缘缘现在学会拿妈妈的发卡搭高塔了,虽然难度颇高,但是她对自己的作品还挺有成就感(也不乏失败所带来的挫折感),当发现爸爸在偷偷给她录像时,就飞快地朝爸爸跑过来。
