* This month we had the privilege to have my mom, Enilda or Abita for the kids, visit us for the holidays… It was truly a blessing for all of us, specially to our kids, being able to reconnect with her during the 45 days she spent with us.

On January 15th we kissed Abita farewell as she boarded a plane to return to Venezuela.
