In addition to my work with the Foundation for Early Learning, I will be volunteering with the local non-profit Powerful Schools and in an indirect way, will be serving children by participating in a street cleaning project through the adopt-a-street program on Saturday morning.

I am spending the week with my son, 6 months old, and other families with young children. I plan to read an extra story to him each night and enjoy every minute of his little life. It goes by so fast!

I will be spending the weekend with my niece and nephew. We like to play outside together and have contests to see who can run the fastest. My 7-year-old niece usually wins...

We're hosting a classroom of children enrolled in a local ECEAP site at the DEL state office. We've got a fun art activity planned!

In addition to my rewarding day-to-day work at the Foundation for Early Learning, I plan to try and meet my new friend Ivan Hein (age 3 weeks)!

I'm going to spend some valuable time with my friend and her six-month old baby boy this week! Maybe we'll head to Greenlake for some sun, fun and games!

We've done a week of school events, with an art walk on Monday, a garden party on Wednesday, and a potluck and preschool singing performance on Friday. It's been a great way to bring out community together and a wonderful opportunity for parents to see more of what we do every day.
