lemonade

It's only been 8 months. I'm right on schedule with this update, i'm sure.
Things are picking up significantly around here, and as the emails and phone messages pile up, i'm considering that maybe this will be a good way to keep in touch while i'm in the midst of the craziest art season yet.
Maia and Stella are great, they love the new digs, and we have fantastic neighvors...we hardly see the kids any more except within the blur of the bikes swiftly sailing back and forth along the driveway/road. Summer can't come soon enough.
Stella had her kindergarten open house last night. we met her teacher, hung out in the classroom and she loved loved loved it. She'll be in all day kindergarten, which, although I feel a bit of a pang at the thought of my baby there all day, she is so severely ready for.
So, lemonade. We went out to dinner the other night ( i had just arrived back from a show in Spokane, i missed stelly's ballet recital, so we celebrated at the Sushi House). I ordered a sushi roll from the specials, called "sex on the beach". Maia promptly made a face and giggled. The waitress asked what in the world he could be giggling at! He made some comment about sushi being sexy! So we decided to have a hilarious talk about the birds and the bees, attempting to use birds and bees quite literally, pollen and buzzing and whatnot. In the midst of it all maia said "I know, I know, its like when you have a lemon, and you make lemonade". .............what can you say to that? we decided that basically, he's right.

The next day i had hives. I think i'm allergic to "Sex on the beach"
