Here’s my version of a kicked-up PB&J sandwich. It’s great for an afternoon snack or for lunch, served with fruits or vegetables. It only takes a few minutes to prepare – perfect for busy schedules. Mica and Rinoa love it!

Spread peanut butter on a flour tortilla. Place a banana, sliced in half lengthwise, on top.
Drizzle with honey. Fold like a burrito. Toast or pan-grill on the stove.

Pater Noster

January 11, 2010

For this post, I wanted to share a video of Mica reciting the Lord’s Prayer in Latin, which I had her memorize. (Latin is part of her foreign language course, the other part being Spanish.)

“Foreign language provides one with entry into a worldview different from one’s own. If it is important that our young value diversity of point of view, there is no better way to achieve it than to have them learn a foreign language.” – Neil Postman in The End of Education

Christmas Weekend

January 8, 2010

Here are a few photos from our Christmas weekend with my brother’s family who visited us from New York. We had a huge amount of snowfall that weekend, with snowflakes the size of dimes. Mica, Rinoa and my niece Jessi couldn’t resist playing in the snow.

That weekend, we also celebrated Jessi’s 8-month birthday. As always, there had to be cake.

My brother's family.

Mica, Rinoa, and Jessi
