I've finally uploaded some photos from the last three months on flickr. Photos from January, February, and March here.
We are all doing well. Iris turned four on January 9th. She is loving her pre-school and will stay there for another year. We entered the Boston Public School lottery for a K1 slot (pre-school), but didn't get anything. She is guaranteed a slot for Kindergarten, so we'll have another go next year. Her current program is fabulous, so we're not too disappointed. Meanwhile, Iris is a vibrant and social four-year-old. She loves all kinds of pretend play - dressing up, playing 'Mommy and Kid', playing Rapunzel, asking Mommy and Daddy to constantly make up new and scary stories. Her vocabulary expands at a remarkable rate. They've been learning about and exploring all sorts of music at her pre-school lately, and she casually dropped "pizzicato" this morning, while pretending to play the violin.
Hazel meanwhile is doing great at her daycare. She just graduated from the Butterfly room (little toddlers) to the Cubs room (bigger toddlers). Hard to believe she will turn two on May 13th. She's as wily and goofy as her sister, if not more so. She loves playing with trains and pointing out buses when we walk around town. Her words are coming along as well - a favorite is still "MINE." Hazel is well into the two's already. Sigh . . .
Matt is in the middle of his semester, teaching a course of Life-Cycle Assessment. He's been extremely busy over the last few months, working hard to get grant proposals in. Those done, life is a little calmer. Gwyneth, meanwhile, continues to work part-time for Harvard. In addition, she starts a new part-time job at Brigham and Women's Hospital in a few weeks.
We're all looking forward to being outside, getting back on our bikes, and enjoying the spring. It was a long winter with a lot of snow! Hope you are all enjoying the change of seasons as well!
