Week 219 and Week 131.5 - Hockey BBQ and Nosebleed and Father's Day

Charlotte had a nosebleed last Sunday - never have a seen blood leave a nose with such speed and conviction. This is unfortunate as I do not like the sight of blood. I put her head back and then she vomited blood and I freaked out (learn from me, do not do this. Let the blood flow out). We went to the ER (where Char had a nearlye40 degree fever), then to an ambulance to the public hospital, where basically I learned that nosebleeds are not serious and to let the blood flow out (to prevent the bloot vomiting). Sigh. She has luckily not had a nosebleed since (and I think her nosebleed was due to very dry air due to air conditioning). Sophia was very cute throughout all of this - she told Yaya that Charlotte was lying down 'here' and then she said that she could not help her A-te (big sister in Tagalog).

Char was supposed to get a capoiera belt on Sunday but was at the hospital - she got it today :).

Last Sunday was Father's Day - we just had a normal Sunday. We gave Matt a framed picture of Matt and the 2 girls making their first

Last Saturday we hosted a BBQ for Matt's hockey friends - it was great fun and lots of kids were there. Char loves one of the substitute teachers who plays hockey - Mr. Brockbank. She was asking about him three days before and was so excited to see him. She gave him the tour of our place ("Sometimes I take a bath in this room, but mostly in my room.").

I went with Char and her class and they went swimming in Coloane. She is pretty good in the water - that year of Aquaducks swim lessons paid off!
