Mike and I were honored this weekend with a “Going Out On A Limb” award from the New Paltz Social Society for our local parenting website, hudsonvalleyparents.com. We’re so grateful for this community of over 1,400 members that has come together in a way we never could have dreamed of four years ago when our little playgroup of 8 friends began.
Some other shots from the day we received the award. The event was a fundraiser at a local farm for our friend’s 12-year old nephew battling a rare form of cancer.
Here’s a shot of Declan making brownies with his new hand-mixer he picked up at the event’s yard sale. He couldn’t wait to use it!
Mike’s been celebrating lots of good transitions lately, including a new job at IBM back in open source software development. Congratulations! He also just got himself a new motorcycle! It’s a blue 2007 Suzuki VStrom 650 to replace his BMW, currently up for sale.
