Remember This?

Do you remember this? It was one of the triumphs of my life. Who would have ever thought that I would make my daughter's wedding cake? Simple pleasures.

I heard of Gabriela Montero on All Things Considered on NPR the other day. Her music is beautiful. Check it out on NPR.

Big!

They say it pays to increase your word power. Spending time with first graders, I learn the most unusual words. While taking my little ones to Music yesterday, G was telling me about T's house. She said, "T's room is never messy. You know why? She doesn't have any toys in her room. They are all in her playroom! She has about a million toys!" (T probably does.) Then she continued. "T's house is a really big house! It is three stories long! From the outside I didn't think it was that big, but then I went inside, and . . . it was GI-NORMOUS!"

Gi-normous: adj. gigantic and enormous.
