Visiting Watts Family

On February 12-21, Gabriella and I flew to Ft. McMurray in Canada to visit the Watts Family while Kevin had to work on his "Go Live" Project for a whole month. We were excited to see the Watts Family, especially to meet my new nephew Charles (Gabriella's new cousin) for the first time. He is so adorable and is always smiling, which I love to see!

Beside these outlines from below, most of the time, Marta, the kids, and I were relaxed at home. We talked to catch up, played with kids, and did things around the house. Gabriella and her cousin Aniela enjoyed playing together. Also, we all went out on errands and shopping. Here are the outlines of what we had done all of these days:
  • Marta's friend invited us over for her daughter's birthday party (sorry no pictures). We had a good time.


  • On the weekend of Valentine's Day, Marta's husband, Charlie, was busy building a rock climbing wall to put things together in the garage, and then Charlie and his friend, Dayven, carried the rock wall to the basement to attach to the wall. Aniela was their supervisor, observing them to make sure they did assembled the wall correctly. Hee..hee.. It looked so awesome, and Charlie did a good job!! After the guys were done with it, all the sudden, Aniela started climbing the rock wall. She did incredible to climb from the bottom to the top. She became an rock climbing expert!! Gabriella wanted to try it too. How cute! Who knows, Gabriella may become a rock climbing expert just like Aniela.


  • On Valentine's Day, Marta, the kids, and I made Valentine cookies and put icing on them. We enjoyed doing them and ate one of them. Ohhh how delicious they tasted..yummy!!


  • Marta, the kids, and I went to the Girls and Boys Club where all the kids played together inside the gym since it was too cold and snowy outside. While all of the kids were playing with two women who watched them, all of the mothers were sitting together to talk about everything. Gabriella met one girl who was two weeks younger than her and they played together. It was adorable to see them crawling and playing together. That girl's older sister liked to play with Gabriella for a while. We stayed there for about one and half hours.

Gabriella and I had a great time with Marta and her family: thanks to you, Watts Family for having us to stay while Kevin worked and needed good sleep without interruption during daytimes. It was wonderful seeing them again and unbelievable how much the kids had grown big since last time we saw them. By the way, we will see you soon!!
