I haven’t posted here in a couple of months. A lot has changed since June 29th. My daughter Johanna has taken a leave from her job as a junior kindergarten teacher in Chicago to be a full-time Mom to her daughter Aloisa this year. They are living with us. And we are delighted with this expansion of our household. 
I’d been looking for moments of joy, and I’ve found them. Aloisa (Loi) is an explosion of joy. Everything is interesting. Everything is exciting. She has the worst case of FOMA you’ve ever seen. I have a very enthusiastic cooking companion. 
And she really appreciates food.
And the garden.
If you haven’t seen me in a while, it’ because I’m playing blocks. Or house. I’ll be around, but maybe just a little bit less.
Happy to hear you are enjoying your beautiful granddaughter! Your daughter looks so much like your Mom. It is amazing!!

FOMA is fear of missing out
