Checking in, and new hiaku throw down

We have continued to settle in to the new house. I have instituted a strict cleaning schedule to keep this place as neat as I can. Here is a photo of my son vaccuuming. It is his favorite thing to do and DEMANDS a turn whenever I bring it out.




Mia is coming up quickly on her 4th birthday. I can't believe what a big girl she is. I am so proud of her.


To continue our Hiaku fest: the subject is now Mom - (Virginia and not me).

Chernobyl? Chez P?
Chinese Aerobics, you say?
You wish we'd forget?

Grandma her hero
And to Quinn you are his GAAHH
Means so much this love

Still when I think of
New York City I think of
You at Seventeen
