Miwa Matrayek's glorious visions

Hey little one,

Here's a cool video for you to check out...

Hospitals

Hey Zoë,

I hear from your parents that you are getting ready to star in a book about going to the hospital.  Wow!  Don't forget about the little people...

There is a children's hospital here in Philadelphia, where we live, and Miro went there the other day to get a checkup to see if he has juvenille rheumatoid arthritis (he doesn't).  He met a really nice doctor there who showed him all kinds of magic tricks!  It was a lot of fun, and Miro wanted to go back right away.  So the hospital is a nice place, full of people trying to make you feel better.

There are many different kinds of people who work in hospitals.  There are doctors, nurses, and patients, and all sorts of other people that help to keep everyone healthy.  I'm sure they will all be so happy to see you when you go for your next visit!

Love,
Götti

Olympics!

Hey little one,

Well, your very first Winter Olympics is just now drawing to a close.  And the coolest thing about having so many nationalities is that you can root for a bunch of countries.  Looks like the U.S.A. ended up with 9 golds, 15 silvers and 13 bronzes, while Switzerland made a very solid showing with 6 golds, 0 silvers and 3 bronzes.  Unfortunately, looks like Belgium didn't really make out all that well this time, but there's always 2014...

That's a BIG airplane!

There's this super big plane called the Antonov--I think it's supposedly the biggest plane in the world.  Check out these pictures (and then check out this video of the monster in action!):
