January

Our life in January:

S really enjoyed this Hello Kitty-themed 1st birthday party we attended:





Playing at our friend Wendy's home - lots of cool African things:


Family outing to Socrates Sculpture Garden in Queens - yummy Venezuelan lunch afterward:






Playing piano with cousin Charlotte:


Love it:


Painting seems to be S's favorite art activity at school. Whenever there's the opportunity she makes more than one painting. Here is one of her "collections":


E's co-worker also worked part-time at the Gap and generously gave S a couple of cute on-sale dresses from there:


My favorite sous chef:


Putting the kids to bed:


Our Moms Group went on our first ever day retreat. We focused on prayer and meditation, learned how to quilt a bit, and had some solo time. I was gratified that everyone found the day to be a real blessing and that there were both regular attenders and those who normally can't come on Fridays because of work or distance.



Also: to be cont'd...

- Was observed by my department chair, felt good about it and got positive feedback
- Busy with lots of afternoon and evening meetings due to being on the board at S's daycare and the decision to fire the executive director and to being on the search committee for a new Director of Diversity where I teach
