118 - And One

2010-04-24T17:44:00.000-07:00

John playing in a Derry, NH tournament. He made it in for a basket and got fouled - made the extra point as well.

117 - Circles of love

2010-04-24T17:42:00.000-07:00

A couple of bracelets that Tia received as gifts from Grandma.

116 - Surprise!

2010-04-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

Tom, my sweetheart kid, bought balloons at the town market and spent the evening blowing them up on the sly. He then waited until his sister was asleep, then sprinkled them all over her bed and the floor. She will wake up to quite a surprise!

115 - Green carpet

2010-04-24T17:37:00.001-07:00

Green! The forest floor outside the house is beginning to get the carpet of green. Spring is here, summer not far behind!

114 - Wii!

2010-04-24T17:35:00.001-07:00

Tom takes a break with one of the new birthday Wii games.

113 - Metal work

2010-04-24T17:34:00.000-07:00

My Dad was a craftsman disguised as a sheet metal worker/welder. This was one of his goofy ways to use up some scraps. I treasure this, miss my Dad like crazy.

112 - Hoops

2010-04-24T17:31:00.000-07:00

John playing in a tourney in Lowell, MA. They won this game (I think).

111 - Chimes

2010-04-24T17:29:00.001-07:00

Soothing sounds of the windchimes. These, however, hang in the basement and the kids hit them every time they walk by. Hey, we do it a bit different here.

110 - Yeee Haw!

2010-04-24T17:27:00.001-07:00

Is there an unwritten rule that states you must embarrass your teenagers? Took John out for dinner on his birthday today, let the waitress know, but what WE didn't know is that they roll over a saddle for the birthday boy to sit on as they SCREAM to the entire restaurant that it's his birthday and everyone yells YEE-HAW (yea, it was a classy joint). He took it in good humor!

109 - Let them eat cake!

2010-04-24T17:24:00.000-07:00

No, it's not a planet full of craters, it's John's birthday cake being baked today for his 15th birthday tomorrow. Counting down, 6 months and he will start driving (*yikes*).

108 - Bunny on my pillow

2010-04-24T17:22:00.000-07:00

So I go to get into bed after a long day and am ready to snooze. Hey, what's this tucked in and sleeping on my pillow? Tia's Easter bunny!

107 - Bubbly Tia

2010-04-24T17:20:00.000-07:00

We went to the mall tonight and it was Tia's turn to try the bubble (John declined, too cool for teens I guess). She had a great time!

106 - Homework

2010-04-12T16:43:00.000-07:00

Tia and I are sitting side by side doing homework. Right now, I'd rather have her packet over mine!

105 - Iridescent "eyes"

2010-04-11T18:47:00.000-07:00

For a present at Christmas, Tia received these peacock feathers. The iridescent colors are just gorgeous.

104 - Cookie drop experiment

2010-04-11T04:54:00.000-07:00

The cup was made by Tia and me during a "girls night out" (she loved the pottery place). This is our attempt at capturing a picture of a cookie dropping into milk. Obviously, we need some more practice! But it was a fun experiment and one we'll try again another time.

103 - Jellyfish

2010-04-11T04:50:00.000-07:00

Tia's first grade class had a field trip to the New England Aquarium in Boston today and I got to chaperone. They have been studying penguins and had a great time visiting the penguins. While walking around the exhibits, we found these really neat jellyfish.

102 - Pens 'n stuff

2010-04-08T17:00:00.000-07:00

The cup of pens and stuff from the kitchen. Exciting stuff for today's picture! I like the composition though.

101 - An April day at the beach!

2010-04-07T15:50:00.000-07:00

At 89 degrees today, we skipped all responsibilities after school and headed straight for Plum Island! Gorgeous day. Tia is playing in the sand, John is relaxing just behind her, and Tom is throwing stuff into the surf. Feels like summer and it's hard to think that there is homework waiting for us when we go home - we'll go to the ice cream shoppe first!

100 - Another late night

2010-04-07T15:47:00.000-07:00

Another late night picture! We are sitting in the parking lot at 9:20pm waiting for John to get out of basketball practice. He was nice and loaned his iPod to Tia and she is comfortably settled in playing games.

099 - Blue means sports

2010-04-05T07:29:00.000-07:00

The Daily Shoot challenge for today:

Blue is the color of sky and water. Many call it the color of hope. Make a photo with blue and what it represents to you.

Blue is the color of sports. Specifically, John's sports (Tom is red and Tia has no preference). I always have sports drinks and water in the back of my truck, especially with warm weather in the works. We are at a sports practice or event every day and the kids grab their drinks and go work hard at the physical activity. So if blue is hope and blue is sports, I hope my kids are having fun as they keep active in both body and mind.

098 - Get us out of here!

2010-04-05T03:34:00.000-07:00

Although Tom helped for a bit, this was Tia's project. She sat at the table and sang as she colored a carton full of eggs, mixing the colors and making them all beautiful.

Happy Easter!

097 - Books

2010-04-05T03:29:00.000-07:00

I took on a Daily Shoot assignment for today's picture:

Paper is versatile and malleable. From napkins to origami, it's all around. Make a photo of something made of paper.

One of the favorite pastimes in our house is reading. This bookshelf is in Tia's room and is stuffed full of her books. It used to be the bookshelf in my own bedroom when I was a child. Tia and I repainted it bright shiny colors and it now sits in her bedroom. There is even a sticker on the side that we didn't paint over that has been there for decades. A link to the past.

Yes, I know the picture is sideways. I like it that way!

096 - Water fight in progress

2010-04-02T15:08:00.000-07:00

It is in the low 70s here today (yay!) and Tia is refilling her water tube to continue the water fight with her brother John and his buddies. Four high school freshmen against one first grade girl. Guess who is winning? Yup, Tia is.

095 - Happy Birthday Tom!

2010-04-02T15:05:00.000-07:00

Today is Tom's 12th Birthday - he's my April Fool kid and has the mischief in him that makes it his day! Happy Birthday kid!

March 2010 Mosaic

2010-03-31T17:36:00.000-07:00

A collection of the pictures for March 2010.

094 - A bit of sparkle today

2010-03-31T17:22:00.001-07:00

The little princess has on her sparkle shoes. Very nice to bring a bit of dazzle into an otherwise rainy, dreary day!

093 - Sick of it all

2010-03-30T19:27:00.001-07:00

Several more inches of rain to deal with. More flooding. Very depressing. And the kids are all feeling their spring allergies so I'm headed to the pharmacy for meds. We are all sick of it!

092 - Memories

2010-03-30T19:25:00.000-07:00

I pass this church once a week to bring Tia to dance class. It's the church where Tom and I got married over 18 years ago. It's also the church where we had the funeral services for both of my parents. The minister, a family friend, left us a couple of years ago too. It's where my father began and continued meetings that were life-altering for him and make me so proud of his accomplishments even as he struggled. Lots of memories and I'm feeling old today!

091 - Renewal

2010-03-30T19:19:00.000-07:00

Springtime renewal brings a lightness of step and a sparkle to eyes as we see, once again, that life starts again.

090 - Flowers for tix

2010-03-27T15:16:00.000-07:00

I sent my husband and 2 boys to see the Harlem Globetrotters as a birthday treat for the boys (they both have April birthdays, so does my daughter... go figure?). They had front row, courtside seats and young Tom played Knockout with the team. When they came home that night, they brought me flowers as a thank you. Very sweet!

089 - Masterpiece by necessity

2010-03-27T15:11:00.000-07:00

The story behind this "masterpiece"? My Dad was a craftsman and worked his own sheet metal shop. Now the guys in the local businesses always knew, and helped move info through the grapevine, when certain inspectors were heading to the area. Well, one was on the way shortly and my Dad had a batch of paint hanging around that needed to be disposed of first. Instead of doing the environmentally irresponsible thing of dumping it all, he took old jagged pieces of plywood and dumped the paint all over them creating "art". When dry, he hung them up on the walls of the shop with ridiculous price tags. No one ever bought one, but I have a couple hanging up in my garage to remember my Dad and his wonderful sense of humor. Wow, I really miss him and can't believe he's been gone for almost 17 years. *sigh*

PS - he passed inspection!

088 - My evening

2010-03-26T06:53:00.000-07:00

John has AAU practice and I'm sitting above with free wifi doing homework. He's in the red shirt on the court below. I think this will become a usual spot for me this Spring!

087 - Mailman Tom

2010-03-26T06:51:00.000-07:00

Tom helping me by getting the mail out of the mailbox as we head home from school. I love the reflection in the rear view mirror here.

086 - Rainy night

2010-03-26T06:49:00.000-07:00

Another rainy night, another couple inches of rain, another night on the road headed home.

085 - Headlight in the dark

2010-03-26T06:47:00.000-07:00

Headlight on my truck. The lighting and angle intrigued me.

084 - First time on ice skates

2010-03-26T06:45:00.000-07:00

First time on ice skates and he can go F A S T! We were at a birthday party. Tom's hands are freezing, but his skates are hot!

083 - Simple joys

2010-03-20T20:07:00.000-07:00

Sunshine and temps around 70F. Spectacular! Tia and I are taking advantage of the great weather and have all the windows down. Love seeing her enthusiasm and joy in the simple pleasure of warm wind blowing through the windows!

082 - Tooth!

2010-03-20T20:05:00.000-07:00

Tia lost a front tooth and is having fun experimenting with lots of new and interesting sounds she can make. The "th" sound, for example, fascinates her right now!

081 - Pump

2010-03-20T19:59:00.000-07:00

The Daily Shoot assignment I undertook for today:

Find something that's so old it's almost timeless and make a photograph of it.

From an aunt and uncle's house came this old pump that used to sit out in front. After they were gone and the house was being sold, I wanted the pump as a reminder of them. My aunt used to hang a bright basket of yellow flowers from it each summer. I miss them and I miss spending some of my summertime at that house.

080 - It's here! It's here!

2010-03-17T18:38:00.000-07:00

It's here! It's here! The new phone book is here! (reference to "The Jerk" - my husband and I used to laugh so much at that movie)

Anyhoo, Spring has Sprung and it's right beside my front steps. Seriously, how much do you LOVE crocus? They give me hope.

079 - Nostalgic for ceramics?

2010-03-17T18:35:00.000-07:00

I had a set of pasta dishes that my mother-in-law gave me as a gift. Just the perfect size, the perfect shape, they were just right. She had a set as did her daughter. Over the years we used them like crazy and now most are gone. We've never found replacements that were as good. It's late and I'm nostalgic for ceramics? Maybe...

078 - Beyond soggy

2010-03-17T18:30:00.001-07:00

The Plains in Kingston. We've had around 8 inches of rain in places around here (so thankful it wasn't SNOW!) and we are beyond soggy. Where is the sunshine?

077 - Soggy? Our house is becoming an island!

2010-03-14T12:17:00.000-07:00

More than 3 inches of rain and it hasn't stopped yet. Looking out the "front door" into the woods and all the puddles. Wet, wet, and more wet!

076 - Flag football at the dome

2010-03-13T16:26:00.000-08:00

The Daily Shoot for today has us looking for:

Curves, squiggles, and flowing lines interest the eye. Make a photograph dominated by a curvy shape of some sort today.

Last flag football game for the winter league inside the dome. Tom is in the lineup second from the left - he's sizing up the situation and is just about ready to explode and run for the catch. They won this game.

The dome itself is fascinating to look at with the curves and flowing lines. A great backdrop for the game.

075 - Fridge

2010-03-12T17:25:00.000-08:00

Part of my never-ending circle (dishes, laundry, groceries). Y'know... they can make ice and water magically appear out of the fridge door, why can't they do that with milk too?

074 - Porch guardian (he's thinking about it)

2010-03-12T17:22:00.000-08:00

Poor gargoyle. It's been a long haul since summer. He's covered in cobwebs and dust as he contemplates guarding our little porch. Spring cleaning time is coming soon!

073 - My big BIRD mistake

2010-03-12T17:17:00.000-08:00

Back in January I posted a picture as "Tia's bird". My mistake. That was actually the bird made by her art partner, Cole. I am finally getting around to correcting my mistake and posting a picture that really and truly is... Tia's Bird. It's definitely my favorite of the two!

072 - Stone Feathers

2010-03-09T16:25:00.000-08:00

So the daily shoot today invites us to:

Most of us enjoy some symmetry in our lives. Look around for it today and make a symmetrical photo.

This is from a statue that my husband bought in his youth. It is of an Indian and I like the symmetry of the feathers on the headdress. Each is unique, yet they are together symmetrical.

071 - Monday blue

2010-03-09T16:22:00.000-08:00

So the daily shoot today invites us to:

Take care of the Monday blues by picking up your camera. Make a photograph dominated by the color blue.

Little Miss Tia is wearing blue today and it brings out her blue eyes. Here's one of them!

070 - Artwork on the kitchen wall

2010-03-09T16:18:00.000-08:00

John painted this when he was in middle school. It hangs in our kitchen & brightens up the space.

069 - A list. Seriously, it is.

2010-03-06T17:26:00.000-08:00

So the daily shoot today invites us to:

Lists guide an eye in a linear way: menus, recipes, etc. As you're out and about today, find a list and make a photo.

Everything I saw today was ordinary in the way of lists. Grocery list, list of ingredients, list of stores in the plaza, menu. I even took a picture of the menu at Burger King and was going to use that today (hey, I only got a Diet Coke & some of those new funnel cake sticks OK?). Well, the bag had this picture on it and the lightbulb went off over my head. It's a list. A visual list. A list that anyone could understand regardless of language or reading ability.

Now I'm thinking about other things that I do as lists, particularly in the classroom. I'm thinking that it's time to put together some that are purely visual. Maybe even an activity in which the students make lists in unique ways. Hmmm, thinking thinking...

068 - Strawberry season... only 4 months away!

2010-03-05T16:19:00.000-08:00

Not sure I captured quite what the daily shoot called for, but here it is.

Food engages all the senses. Make a photograph of food that causes our mouth to water or pucker. Get the viewer engaged.

067 - Stripes... what is it?

2010-03-04T17:18:00.000-08:00

I decided to try the daily shoot today:

Striped patterns have a natural pattern that catches the eye. Find some stripes today and make a photo.

This is what I found for my stripes. Can you tell what it is?

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy

-- from this website

066 - G'day mate

2010-03-03T20:01:00.001-08:00

A boomerang with traditional artwork that hangs on our wall. We got it near Cairns (in Kuranda I think) in 1995 when we visited Australia. John was 6 months old and we took him everywhere in his backpack.

February 2010 Mosaic

2010-03-03T11:47:00.000-08:00

A collection of the pictures for February 2010.

065 - Mmmmm, muffins

2010-03-03T11:36:00.001-08:00

After 5 days without electricity, we are finally back online. I was going through internet withdrawal! Took the time to fire up the oven and cook some muffins - the house smells wonderful.

064 - Power play

2010-03-03T11:33:00.001-08:00

I am soooo sick of this. We still have no electricity, this is our generator which keeps a light on and the furnace going. This is DAY 4 without power.

063 - High water

2010-03-03T11:31:00.000-08:00

View from the Phanzone at Route 111 facing East. Flooded, no electricity, trees and powerlines down everywhere. Another fun day in paradise.

062 - Snow dome

2010-03-03T11:28:00.001-08:00

We returned home to NH and a house with no electricity. BUT, flag football goes on and we traveled - in more snow & wind - to the Dome to play. Both boys played and the team won.

061 - Braving the wind

2010-03-03T11:25:00.001-08:00

Daddy and Tia feeding seagulls during the wind and snow at the New Jersey shore.

060 - Keyboard

2010-03-03T11:23:00.001-08:00

I'm stuck on the computer today.

059 - Date night

2010-03-03T11:22:00.000-08:00

Tonight was a special night where my husband and I had the rare opportunity to go out without any kids! He was sweet and took me to a Ruth Chris' Steakhouse (yum). This pic is of the decorations that intrigued me on the ceiling.

058 - Birthday Cake

2010-03-03T11:19:00.000-08:00

Today is my husband's birthday. Here is young Tom (at Grandma's house) frosting a special cake for Dad. Tom just came in from the snow and rain outside!

057 - Barney

2010-03-03T11:16:00.000-08:00

Tia had an earache this week and she was such a trouper (and a savvy shopper) that she ended up with this dog. His name is Barney.

056 - Bubble Boy

2010-02-21T19:52:00.000-08:00

Today at the mall, Tom tried out the bubbles. Yes, he is a bit like a hamster! He said it was tough to stand up, running was weird because he had to lean forward unnaturally to stay upright, and he was exhausted after 5 minutes!

055 - Aloha

2010-02-21T19:50:00.001-08:00

Tia has a bunch of these fake leis on a lampshade. Today I was intrigued by the beautiful colors (my picture doesn't do them justice) and needed the boost. We are soooo in need of Spring!

054 - Battlefield

2010-02-19T17:22:00.001-08:00

Tonight was the night my husband raided his stash of Matchbox vehicles and brought them out for Tia and Tom (I think he feels bad that Tia has an earache). The kids staged this battlefield - Tom has the plane and Tia has the helicopter.

053 - Snow bunny

2010-02-19T17:16:00.000-08:00

Tia was home sick today, but needed some fresh air so she headed outside to build in the snow with lots of imagination!

052 - Scraps

2010-02-17T17:32:00.001-08:00

Love doing the hands-on activities! I had grades 6, 7, and 8 take apart computers, keyboards, mice, hard drives, etc. They should all know the look (and feel) of significant computer components. For their test I will have a computer that is open and they will show me all the parts and tell me what they do. They had a lot of fun with this project.

051 - It never ends!

2010-02-17T17:29:00.000-08:00

What never ends? Laundry! I am forever taking this basket down the stairs, up the stairs... and repeat. Right now is good... it's empty!

050 - Homework at halftime

2010-02-17T17:26:00.001-08:00

At John's semi-final basketball tournament game, Tia sat and did homework. Poor girl was stuffy with a cold, tired, and she is dragged from game to game all season! She's a trooper though, smiley girl did a lovely job on her pictures and keeps us all laughing! (Unfortunately, John's team lost... but he played a GREAT game).

049 - Tom's cross

2010-02-14T17:59:00.000-08:00

Tom has served 40 Masses as an altar server and received his cross today. That made for a lovely St. Valentine's Day!

048 - PURPLE is Art

2010-02-13T19:34:00.001-08:00

PURPLE - Tom painted this Georgia O'Keefe style artwork when he was in 2nd grade, I believe. It is one of my favorites and is framed nicely to hang on the wall. Oh, and purple is my favorite color!

047 - BLUE is a Legend

2010-02-13T19:28:00.000-08:00

BLUE - This shirt belonged to my husband, Tom. It was made for him by his grandmother when he was probably a pre-teen. Our son, Tom, who is 11 loves to wear it and does so proudly. I'm sure his great-grandmother is smiling!

046 - the only GREEN to be found in February

2010-02-11T05:32:00.001-08:00

GREEN means renewal and life and hope. February in New England is cold and dreary. We are tired of winter and in need of sunshine. Dreams of green grass and leaves dance in our heads! Of course, then we have to start thinking of mowing and raking! But right now I would love to have my windows open to hear the wind rustling the green leaves in the trees. *sigh*

045 - YELLOW School Stuff

2010-02-10T19:58:00.000-08:00

... and you thought it would be a school bus today, ha! YELLOW is for a batch of stuff we use at school. Bright and cheery on a snowy, dreary day... when will spring flowers arrive? I would rather take pictures of dandelions, black-eyed susans with bright yellow petals than a pile of post-its and highlighters!

044 - ORANGE on the playground

2010-02-09T11:23:00.000-08:00

ORANGE - reminds me of caution. And also of Holland.

043 - RED for spirit

2010-02-08T12:46:00.001-08:00

RED - today is red for school spirit and the adventurous challenge of making it into space (we have a HS alumni that was the 1st US man to orbit the earth).

042 - WHITE for the 100th

2010-02-08T12:43:00.000-08:00

WHITE - the color for today as shown in 100 marbles in a white bowl all ready for Tia to bring to school for the 100th day.

041 - Deep red love on my knee

2010-02-06T14:34:00.000-08:00

As usual, sitting in the car waiting for a kid to be done with practice... what can I take a picture of here? I know, I'll take off the necklace that the kids gave me for Christmas, perch it on my denim clad knee and see what I can get. Here it is.

040 - Through the glass

2010-02-05T16:27:00.000-08:00

I have a fondness for blown glass - it fascinates me and I would love to create it myself. There is a class locally that I may try to take one weekend and learn. However, like most crafts, I'm really good at them in my mind... once my hands get involved there is a disconnect that is fairly obvious! So this picture is of a glass circle that hangs in one of my windows - you can see the wavy trees through the glass.

039 - Hoops

2010-02-04T15:10:00.001-08:00

Winding down the basketball season... we can see baseball just around the corner!

038 - Feeling fenced in?

2010-02-04T15:05:00.000-08:00

When you are in school, either as a student or teacher, do you feel fenced in? Rules, regulations, standards, codes, expectations, peer pressure... how do we effectively break out of that feeling? How can we be Agents of Change and move past the fences?

037 - Snowman & redbird share "hello!"

2010-02-02T10:25:00.001-08:00

Tia has artwork on the school bulletin board right outside her 1st grade classroom and just next to the copier machine... I walk by it several times a day and thought to add it to my collection here too!

036 - Homework hands

2010-02-01T16:47:00.000-08:00

Tia is working on her homework, a report on blue jays from a book she read. I love this picture of her hands... so little yet so confident.

January 2010 Mosaic

2010-01-31T14:15:00.001-08:00

Mosaic of all pictures taken in January 2010 (last picture was taken on the 1st, first picture taken on the 31st... you get the idea).

035 - Waiting for spring

2010-01-31T14:07:00.001-08:00

Forlorn basketball on the snow just waiting for everything to melt and the kids to come play!

034 - Saturday studies

2010-01-30T10:03:00.000-08:00

The desk in front of me today and I begin my last course (graduating this spring with a Master's degree - Technology in Education). Just found out that this final class is part of a set of 4 in a new certificate program. Hmmm, so I'm not quite done as that looks *very* interesting. Guess what I'm signing up for next?! :)

033 - I can see springtime

2010-01-29T11:52:00.000-08:00

I can almost *see* springtime as I look at the shadows for the screen door. I'm ready to hear it squeak when it opens and slam when it closes... bringing the sounds of warm weather.

032 - Ceiling tiles

2010-01-29T05:22:00.001-08:00

It is tradition in our school that the outgoing 8th graders create a piece of artwork on a ceiling tile which is then place up in the school. These masterpieces are just outside the library.

031 - Tia's bird

2010-01-29T05:21:00.001-08:00

First graders made birds - this one is Tia's and is perched on a branch in her classroom. She was very excited with this project and did a fantastic job creating this bird!

*** disclaimer - I have been informed by Miss Tia that this is actually a bird constructed by her art partner Cole. I have posted Tia's Bird in a different post. Sorry for that kiddo! ***

030 - Snowflakes inside and out

2010-01-29T05:20:00.001-08:00

This is the view from the Science classroom at my school - looking across the driveway to the Benner Building and my Media Lab on the second floor (front left).

029 - Heat at last

2010-01-26T04:37:00.000-08:00

This was the culprit. That green guy on the far left is new to the family. The old pump was a goner. Furnace is running again and we have hot water!

028 - Mesmerized

2010-01-26T04:36:00.001-08:00

Our furnace started making funny noises last night. Enough that we shut it down and closed off most of the house. Our little gas stove is keeping us warm this weekend in a couple of rooms. Thankfully, this is a warm spell in NH - supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow (with tons o' rain).

027 - Gymsicles

2010-01-23T08:43:00.001-08:00

I'm learning to be less self conscious about taking pictures. This was taken outside the high school gym as I was entering for a basketball game. Sure, I'm just a doofus mom taking a picture of the roof with my cell phone... that's OK. But I like the twin chimneys, the different colors, shadows, glass blocks & bricks. The risk of a giggle or two headed my way was worth the shot! :)

026 - Driveway sentry

2010-01-22T17:20:00.001-08:00

The birch tree is the state tree for NH. It provides spots of light in the shadows of the woods, lovely trees. But they don't always hold up well with the snow (heavy snow will weigh them down & topple them sadly). This one is just to the side of our driveway.

025 - Beauty in the mundane

2010-01-21T16:13:00.001-08:00

Determined to find beauty in the mundane, I took my camera down to the basement with me as I did laundry. Looking the clothes drying as they are hung on one of the pipes, I realized that the view from below might be interesting. It is.

I must remember to crouch down to the level of a young child more often and take a good look around. The world is so different when you are that size!

024 - Blue sky & snow

2010-01-20T11:34:00.000-08:00

A little bit of blue sky to go with the snow that is determined to stick to the trees. These trees are next to the playground at school.

023 - Snowy school day

2010-01-19T09:41:00.000-08:00

This is the building that my classroom (the Media Lab) is housed in. I am right in the corner here looking out on the snow...

022 - CANNONBALL!

2010-01-18T16:06:00.001-08:00

Little Miss Tia *loves* the water... we spent an hour at the hotel pool after checking out today.
