my new office. so far i love it but i do miss my older kids in the lower east side sometimes.

the girls are sweet. it'll be fun to watch them grow up.

i have the lucky role of being their mentor and academic helper

at my new work site. i've been keeping in touch with my older kids at the old site. hope to visit them soon.

some fun personalities. so strange to not work with boys this year.

we'll be following these girls as they grow up so it'll be interesting to see how they change

already lots of laughs and drama tears and chaos. love it.
