Five

My Baby turned 5 yesterday. My. Baby. Not a baby anymore at all.
Today we brought cupcakes to school for the Birthday Boy. Jacqueline came to celebrate with the pre-schoolers and helped hand out pink & chocolate frosted funfetti cupcakes. What could be better?

When I drive around here I often consider veering off the road to take a few quick photos. One of the recent warmer days that's exactly what we did. Jacqueline and I packed up cameras and went out for a shoot. We wandered about town looking for the pretty things we drive by every day. It was time well spent. I loved seeing my daughter excited about capturing images.

A week or so later we went as a family to a gallery in nearby Avon, CT for the "Glitter Winter" show. The artist had many glittery canvases and a unicorn that went along with a "Lost Unicorn" poster campaign that she plastered around NYC. The kids enjoyed it and I always feel good after a dose of culture.

Just trying to keep creativity in the mix with kids obsessed with the wii, buried in homework and not a little sitr crazy after this very snowy Winter.

Last Skating Lesson

Much improved during the skating lesson session. Thank goodness since we spent 3 days in sub-freezing temps!

Winter 09

Jacqueline climbed atop the mini-mountain of snow at the end of our driveway. It was sort of melting but then we had more today - naturally.
