ay yi yi-feb already! it seems all i’ve been doing are taxes,  more taxes, applying to shows, organizing schedules, not to mention trying to get some work done. and in the middle of all this-i’m playing hookey over president’s day weekend- i’m taking my youngest niece to washington dc for a whirlwind 5 day quick visit.  neither of us ever been- so it will be quite an adventure!

fortunately we have “leahys” in virginia ( one of them being the handsome young man on the far right in the picture) so we will be in good hands!

this is a “cousin’s” pix, few and far between ( west coast & east coast)- from left to right: 2 of my kids, sasha & sean. in the middle, my niece/fellow adventure seeker tara, my other niece claire, and my nephew cameron, hailing from VA.
