Above all ...so so sorry for the Pats.
Our hearts really sank when we checked the score yesterday morning. Especially felt for Dave and Owen.

An exciting visit tonight, with Vendula and Kristyna. Vendula was Ella's babysitter through 2006 and most of 2007, since she finished graduate school and is working full time, she's no longer doing the babysitting gig. Vendi and Kristyna are good friends ...in fact, Vendi introduced us to and recommended Kristyna for Ella as her nanny/Czech tutor.
So, we had both girls over for supper.
Ella was predictably shy at first, but then she went crazy with energy. What a show-off.
Having cake and iced frosting for dessert probably wasn't the best approach to getting her ready for bed, but she crashed hard in the end. Just an hour late.

Anyway, a picture of the girls together, too.

And we figure we should post some pictures of our son (lest you forget we had one by the lack of pictures).
