Feed Maya

Reminders from Ella

My family is in Utah. It is a little tradition we started about 3 years ago where Andre takes the girls to Utah for a little daddy daughter skiing before Christmas and I have some chill time at home to get ready for the holiday. Essentially I put the movie, The Family Stone, on continual loop, drink Ski Patrol, and wrap presents.

Last night I went to bed early for me -- pre midnight. I woke up to snow and my dogs softly snoring beside me. I checked my phone and got a message that confused me at first (see left).

Ella has a fish that she named Maya, but this wasn't really registering with me because the fish lives in her room and I never have much contact with it (her). So on first morning read, feed Maya, I was a little concerned about where Maya (my daughter) actually was. Wasn't she in Utah with them? Had they shipped her home? Light finally shone on the dimness of my brain and I remembered the fish. Then I realized I had forgotten the fish's full name -- it wasn't just Maya. I asked Ella and she responded, Maya Jackie Chan. Of course -- how could I forget that? Silly.

Please ignore the first conversation -- just wanted to have the cute little face of Ella included in the image.
