My New Restaurant

My parents have been working all summer on our restaurant. It takes a lot of time and I have to sit around a lot. But today all my waiting paid off when we opened our restaurant for the first time. I help by washing dishes, making doughs, and staying out of trouble.

First Day of School 2006

We managed to snap a quick shot the morning of the first day of school before our camera breathed its last breath, sputtered, and died.

Coco is very excited about school this year. Her teacher, Ariel, seems very talented and sweet and we're looking forward to getting to know her. Some of Coco's favorite things so far this year have been seeing her friends from last year, getting to know her new teacher, and singing songs with the kindergarten class next door. I'll TRY to post the weekly newsletter so our family near and far can stay abreast of what's allegedly happening at school. Here's this week's letter (PDF: 47k). If I get a little lax (maybe I should say "when"), please email me, and I'll happily forward the letter for you.

If Mama looks a little tired, it's because we've been working overtime getting ready to open our restaurant. A few more inspections and we'll be a bona fide independently owned business. It's funny playing capitalist in my anarchist sweatshirt!

Once I figure out which digital camera we're going to buy, I'll post some pictures of the place!
