Just Maria

Maria, Ben and Fat Duck...he means business

Family shot at swim lessons


The brightest highlight of last week was a visit from one of Leah's best friends from Saratoga, Maria. A true friend, she went straight from the airport to cheering on the kids at swimming lessons. The girls had a wonderful time of non-stop chatting and laughing that is the special concoction of kindred spirits. Ben at one point politely came up to Leah and whispered, "Mommy, be quiet." Ben and Clara were a little skeptical when "Auntie Maria" first arrived, they both seemed to worry that another "Aunt" was here to take care of them and mommy was leaving again...thus Maria changed from "Auntie Maria" to "Just Maria" and the name stuck. Another name that stuck, Ben's new duck puppet is fondly called "Fat Duck." We already are looking forward to seeing Just Maria again.
