I took Lydia out at lunch time today and thought that we would go to some stores on Michigan avenue, however, since it is so cold, we really could not go that far, so after doing some choirs, we ended up in the prudential building, I let her out walking around with me, she was very happy and greeted many people, of course I got lots of good comments as return. Then we went to Cafe Roma and I ordered a late and a cookie, she was sitting on the bench with me. I really enjoyed the time with her today, it was very relaxing and nice.

We went to play in the remodeled play room in 155 yesterday, the room looks a lot better. It has blue sky, a whole wall of the chalk board, an electronic fish tank hanging on the wall. lots of new toys too. Elizabeth and Ethan were both very happy and played with two other older kids. We all know that the Chicago winter is long, although it is approaching to Feb but the temperature is dropping everyday, we just went out to play in the snow for 10 minutes, but all of us are freezing and has to come back immediately. So it is great to have a play room in the building.
