My Daughters Three

I found these pictures the other day while looking for baby pictures of Pippi for the previous blog. I love this casual series of my girls and I.

I'm looking for a new winter home base. Seriously. My days of wintering in Canada are soon over. My lungs are too sensitive in the winter. I taught two Zumba classes yesterday with bronchitis. My lungs are so inflamed! But I don't have a sub so I took my asthma inhalers before each class and went for it. Despite the lungs, both classes went fab. I choreographed a new song for my kids classes The Lion Sleeps Tonight. So much fun to dance to. And my new choreography for I'm Sexy and I know It is so much fun to dance to as well. Will post a little demo someday soon.
I find my lungs do best is the tropical jungle. I loved the hot, damp air of the Malaysian jungle. I want to live in a hot climate for at least Jan and Feb of each year. But aside from the jungles of Asia, I am also considering Spain or Southern France--love them both.

Tabs arrived home from camping. Her cough is worse but her spirits high. She loved the winter camp out.
Mist is the most amazing teen age girl on the planet. She is so much fun to hang out with. She is nearly always happy and full of fun. When I stopped in to chat with Peter in his office yesterday (after my UBC Zumba class), I noticed a paper sculpture on his window sill with a name  plate in front "Vince." I just knew Mist had left that there for him on her last visit to his office.
Pip is still on a birthday high: out for lunch with her parents and then her B day supper of choice was A&W. What can I say, she loves their baby burgers. It was the only fast food allowed: her Bday choice. I have been cooking each and every night! Vegetarian stir fry and brown basmati rice last evening after I returned from Mom & Me Zumba with Pip and my nieces.

A lazy weekend for me. Will no doubt include a trip to the doctors office for drugs to kill the bronchitis. I can tell when I have a bacterial infection. I want to get in a few ski days before spring hits. Not this weekend though. And next weekend I am hosting a huge ZumbAtomic birthday party for Pip. I've rented a hall down town. We are inviting about thirty guests for the dance party.

Now that I completed the ten day meditation course, I am allowed to attend three day courses--so much more manageable for me. I may sign up for a three day meditation course this spring to refresh my  meditation practices. But the course starts in May, so who knows what will be happening in my life by then! I guess spring is in the air because I am looking ahead, planning my spring already! Will hopefully include a trip to escape the last dredges of winter.

The pictures are nice but I am wondering why you look so dark around your eyes. Did you have black eyes or is it lack of sleep from getting up at nights with baby Pippi?

I don't know. I think it's just the lighting in the photos. Or perhaps lack of sleep???
