Today Lily and I got the kids off to school and then finished preparations on the house.
Around noon, Louie arrived with Bea and Clara. There was instant connection. The kids immediately disappeared and played for hours while Lily, Louie and I had riveting and deep conversation for hours. We covered topics of word history, family history, religion, spirituality, geopolitics, the NBA and more. A highlight for me and Lily was to learn about the beautiful way in which he practices his Catholicism. We also had a delicious salmon, rice, salad, and cauliflower.
After Louie and his kids went to sleep, Lily went to pick up Clark, Swathi, Meera and Soren from the airport. When they arrived, Lily and I enjoyed great conversation with Clark and Swathi after their kids went to sleep talking about skiing, plans, how their travels went and more. It has been so fun to see everyone, and we are excited for the days ahead!
