Chicago Now. Trying to live a bilingual/bicultural life with an ocean between my legs.

The soul of this city are the people who live here The soul of this city are the people who live here. And, oh, what a soul it is. Whether it is freezing or hot as a melting oven, we take it, ride it, and make the best of it. Yesterday’s snow was glorious, as it was hearing the laughter of children, birds, chatter. Life, slowly, very slowly going back to normal. Like the tree branches, braving the cold to get ready for Spring. ❄️🛷

El alma de esta ciudad es su gente. Y, menuda alma tiene. Da igual que nos congelemos (y aquí congelarse significa -15C durante días), o que nos achicharremos de calor. Salimos igual a la calle, y disfrutamos de ella a tope. Ayer daba gusto ver la nieve, y volver a oír risas de niños, gente hablando, pájaros... Oír cómo la vida, muy despacito, vuelve a la normalidad. Como las ramas de los árboles, a pesar del frío, ya se están preparando para la primavera. ❄️🛷 #chicago #lincolnpark #northpond #invierno #winter #nieve #snow #soul #city #urbankids #citykids #lincolnparkconservancy #sledding #life #covid_19 #snowpalooza2021 #february #springiscoming #nestinginchicago
I’m rarely in the photos, but it is even more ra I’m rarely in the photos, but it is even more rare to have my oldest join us, so the occasion needed to be immortalized. I concede, he is officially taller than me, and had to hold my hand up the hill. But I couldn’t be prouder of the fact that he doesn’t hesitate to navigate the world by himself. Also, we are definitely a pom family. ☃️❄️☃️

No suele gustarme salir en las fotos, pero a mi hijo mayor todavía menos, así que había que inmortalizar la ocasión. Es definitivamente más alto que yo, y me ha tenido que ayudar a subir la montañita. Pero no podría estar más orgullosa de ver cómo empieza a explorar el mundo sin mi. De eso, y de que somos la familia borla. ☃️❄️☃️ @pikacho813  #brothers #hermanos #momoffourboys #longlivelonghairedboys #snow #nieve #winter #lincolnpark #chicago #invierno #nestinginchicago #welovepompoms
I know that, lately, all of my posts are snow rela I know that, lately, all of my posts are snow related. But snow is the most exciting thing we have done in months. And it is pretty. And after a somewhat scary storm last night, today it was perfect for sledding. The little has joined his brothers with gusto. In true Chicago fashion, he L O V E S snow with a vengeance. I hope that the 18ish inches we got last night last him long. ❄️☃️❄️

Ya sé que últimamente todas mis fotos son en la nieve. Pero es que es lo más emocionante que nos ha pasado en muchos meses. Y es bonita. Y después de una señora tormenta anoche, hoy estaba perfecta para tirarse en trineo. El peque se ha unido a sus hermanos. Como buen chicagoano, le encanta la nieve. Espero que las 18 pulgadas que nos han caído le duren un rato. ❄️☃️❄️ #snow #nieve #brothers #hermanos #chicago #chiberia #snowpalooza2021 #pandemic #fun #winter #invierno @catimini_official
