Family Spanish Night


























Mateo's school hosted a Family Spanish Night this evening. While I was teaching Huichol yarn painting, Kevin and Mateo were checking out the rest of the event: crafts, activities, dancing, stories, music, snacks. Mateo's classmate Mariah stuck pretty close to him, ending with a hug when it was time to leave. :-) Mateo's highlight was the snack - churros and hot chocolate - but he also took the time to make a maraca and a vest. It was only an hour long, but with a missed nap this afternoon he was a tired boy by the time we got home.

Snowdude






































The first snowman of the season, which Mateo refers to as Snowmimi and Kev calls Snowdude. I was doing yoga when I looked up and noticed them out the window - what a heartwarming sight - I could hardly wait to go out and join them!

Preschool Level Swimming Graduation!

















In his last preschool level swim class this morning, Mateo put his whole head under the water at least 2 times. "My ears got wet," stated the swimmer. Next stop: Level 1 Lessons!

It's Heeeere...

They Ain't Heavy














Dad was together with his five siblings for the first time in a long time, and for a happy occasion - an early Meyer Thanksgiving celebration. At least I think that's what it was. Maybe it was just a gathering. Anyway, posing here on the balcony of Grandma Jean's apartment complex, 8th floor.
