Ahh, the entire NFL season was redeemed with one final Manning drive to vanquish the Patriots. Unfortunately, it was the wrong Manning, but as New England's maddening drive for perfection continued through the season, I wondered if I wanted the Patriots to lose MORE than I wanted the Colts to win.
So, in an unprecedented miracle, I managed to avoid news of the Super Bowl score through all day Monday -- and gathered with about 25 other teachers for a TIVO replay of the game at another faculty member's house. Since my parents (who both knew the score and are certainly don't relish Bill Belichek), opted to go to the game, I was pretty optimistic that maybe the Giants could pull it out. (Since it had already happened, there was a surreal sense of knowing that "it must turn out right.")
So it was a great ending to a NFL season that too often had me replaying the Colts demise against the Patriots and all the "what-ifs" of a self-destructing Colts team in their final hurdle before a potential showdown in Foxboro.
On the home front, we are excited for a 4 day weekend, starting Thursday to celebrate Chinese New Years. We are planning on sitting around home and relaxing. Apparently all of KL heads out of town, so hopefully it will be relatively quiet (though many stores are probably closed). In the cute picture display, we've sure noticed how much Reeve and Rania are similar. Meanwhile, Gabi often plays the perfect middle child in the mold of her perfect mother. It has been SO FUN to see how well Gabi has been playing with both of her siblings. Reeve and Gabi will giggle for hours at a time (they spent an hour in the bathtub together recently). Reeve is loving school more, and Rania's grunts and screams can sure wear thin on our patience, but she sure is a doll!

how precious! yes! they almost look like twins in this shot. i have to admit, the consistency of the blue skies in PR is really nice, too. Sunlight definitely makes a difference when it comes to moods. too bad you can't make a "quick trip" to PR so they can all swim together. :(

i was going to say exactly the same... might as well be twins, those two. And baby baby is officially no longer a baby. she looks so old and grown up. like a GIANT. (not a COLT) Gabsters, on the other hand could be mistaken for a Colt. or a Unicorn.
