Once again, it has been a month since I posted. Post college life has been much busier than I expected. I have been busy substitute teaching, babysitting beautiful children, creating a resume, working on materials and albums for my Montessori training, dancing, and catching up with friends. All wonderful things! I also enjoyed a lovely trip to Florida to surprise my friend Kimberley for her 40th birthday!!! She doesn't look a day over 25, though! Must be that green drink( kale, spinach, etc) she drinks every day! :)
Here are a few photos from the last month or so.

This is back at the turn of the new year...we went down to PA to surprise my grandparents dressed in a red gift bag, of course! :) My, were they surprised!

I enjoyed looking at all my grandparents old photos, including one of my very dashing grandfather in his WWII uniform.

And I loved seeing this shot again. This is me and my brother posing with Norm Abram from the PBS show The New Yankee Workshop. My dad was the gardener for the show The Victory Garden and the sets for both shows were on the same property.

And last but not least, here is family photo from the trip!

And then it was on to January which brought another wonderful Montessori seminar up on the north shore. Art, yoga, and language were the topics of the weekend.
I think art was my favorite! I got some GREAT ideas for high quality art activities to do with children!

Here is Linda Seeley, one of our wonderful teachers instructing us about the Montessori language curriculum.

She has been teaching for many, many years and has the most MAGICAL classroom. I loved being in it and I can imagine it's such a special place for a child to learn and grow!

I loved spending time with Kimberley and Henk who are two of my favorite people!
