Early January Days

My recent winter days have been filled with wonderful child-centered activities.

We were blessed by a special energetic guest who stayed with our family for four weeks in late December and early January. She was full of life, light and joy everywhere she bounced, and now that she has been gone a week, it kind of feels like a giant hole in my waking hours, but I am getting caught up on a number of things that were put to the side so I could engage in some active parenting. It has been a week of catching up on some needed mental rest in between a flurry of activity as I resumed work with my music students and my own practice schedule, not to mention working on some important documents that I am very pleased to have finished.

Hopefully I will be resuming a more normal and vibrant blog posting schedule as well!
