Avery's 3rd birthday: Sno-cones and Sand art!

We had such a fun time just setting up for the party! We blasted Lady Gaga songs, danced, and munched on the snacks!












The Sno-Cone machine was definitely a hit!








We set up a table with sand art supplies; it was also a big (messy!) hit.

Avery turns 3! Daycare party!

Lately, Elphy has been accompanying Avery to daycare:


Avery LOVES Miss Belen (also Miss Frieda, Miss Bero and Abuela!)

Spencer turns 1: happy birthday!

Gogo and Grandmpa save the day (well, week)

Carolyn and I have been extremely busy lately. We are both working a lot -- I am teaching an evening class 4 evenings a week for a few weeks out in Queens, so I don't get home until 9:00 most nights. Last week was even busier: Carolyn was gone at a conference for three days, I presented at a conference for one day on Staten Island, and then Carolyn and I went away for an overnight trip to Maryland for a wedding. So Gogo and Grandmpa planned to have their visit coincide with our busy time so that they could help out with Avery. It was a tremendous help!

Avery makes EVERYTHING into a train:
