The girls had off school on Thursday and Friday so good friends invited us to their family home in Sonoma. It was an amazingly relaxing time, with the girls swimming, making and throwing water balloons, and playing other games outside. (As for the adults, we just hung out, and even got some shopping in.) After a crazy few weeks of work, it was exactly what I needed, too!

As a getting-to-know-you exercise, Avery’s new teachers asked the third-graders to write little books containing facts about themselves. Avery brought hers home yesterday, and here’s what I read in hers:
I have a sister named Zoe
I love swimming
I like to visit Israel
I like playing soccer
I love to play Minecraft
I love to read
Sounds about right…

Brandeis hosted this week’s cross-country meet, and Avery and I got to go and cheer on all the runners. Below, a photo of the group.

In honor of the new year, Avery’s class recently walked to nearby Lake Merced to do tashlich; along the way they collected and removed garbage bags full of trash.
