nice to meet you!

our family

getting ready for West

We lived in New Orleans, on State Street near Audubon Zoo & Park. We took a lot of walks, rode bikes, had lots of space and the house was always airy and bright. There was a nice orange tree in the side yard. We had a lot of nice meals outside on the patio. I was working a lot- teaching ballet (until Jan 2010) at a middle school in Chalmette, teaching photography at Nicholls State (traveling to Thibodaux once a week), teaching digital media art to high school students uptown at an alternative school and in the Treme at a community center. I was doing a lot of grant writing for two non-profit arts organizations. Keeping very very busy. W was busy with a film project for HNOC/LPO.  It was an exciting (and sometimes anxious) time.

better late than never...

now (September 2011)

West will be 18 months Saturday...I'm marking the occasion by starting this blog about our beautiful life together.
