Proud to be a Dixie Chick Fan


If you respect women who stand up to the republicans and the religious right, watch Shut Up and Sing. It is a documentary about the issue the Dixie Chicks had after saying they weren't proud the president was from Texas. It is a fascinating story and an incredible triumph for free speech and strong women!! (available at Blockbuster)

Inspired by art, we create our own drama and intrigue














































Ah, to be a child...or at least view the world through the eyes of a child...is to see the possibilities in rolling hills, balance and the magic of one precious ladybug.

Celebration of Life for Baby O at school







One of the wonderful celebrations at Lakewood Montessori is the Celebration of Life. He shared pictures from each year of life as he "revolved around the sun", he symbolically took the globe around the sun, and lit a candle for each year he has "graced the planet." Then we enjoyed the cake he baked with his buddies(applesauce and oatmeal cake with sprinkles, anyone?) It was very special.
