the big K

I’m not sure what to write about. There are so many big changes going on.
I could talk about this freshly minted six year old, just 6 days ago, and how much she is enjoying her seniority, being the oldest (though not tallest) in her daycare, and the one who knows the answers.  
I could talk about her first [...]

Water slide

These photos, just in, were taken by Jane’s dad. They’re from Casey’s birthday party in July.
 
Rada and Jane loved going on the water slide at the party.
 
They went over and over again, probably twenty times. They took a break and had a snack, and then went back and did it some more.

Anyway, here is Rada on [...]

If you go the the center’s main page here, and keep pressing the refresh button, it will cycle around to her picture.

 

Pilgrimage

After months of anticipation Rada and I finally visited Storyland, the ‘Disney World of the Northeast’. (though comparing Storyland to Disney World is like comparing ballet to disco.) 
The 3 hour drive was grueling, but Storyland was a delight. There was Humpty Dumpty, Mother Goose, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Little Red Riding Hood, and more. I kept [...]
