Closing time

I hate that song, but the line "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" comes to mind. Thursday was Alex's last day of school at Montessori. He was there for three years, first in the early preschool program, before he turned three, then the 3-6 morning class for two years. He's had friends who have been in his class all three years!

Now it is onto the "big" school, St. Francis of Assisi, where he will be with kindergarteners through eighth graders. It will be a new step and new beginning for our not-so-little guy!

Mother's little helper

I got to put my Mother's Day present, a pastry torch, to use yesterday on some unsuspecting creme brûlée (ok, iPhone automatically did the French stuff with brûlée, for the record)!
