It's been a very long day, packed with activities, and I simply am too tired to write much.
I did one final edit on my book Adopting Alesia, and it's ready to go to press soon. Hopefully in about 2-3 weeks I will have copies in hand! I am so excited.
Alesia had her first tennis lesson tonight. I was very pleased. Coach said she has a natural athletic ability and good coordination, and was able to skip some steps he usually has to teach people. She was a bit giggly and distracted, but she will settle down, I expect. She and Michael are both taking a weekly lesson in June, which I think will benefit them enormously. Hopefully she will like it enough to take lessons in July, too, and perhaps they can go down to the courts and hit several times a week.
In relation to the essay I have in Call Me Okaasan, you can read an interview I did here.
Here are a couple more shots of my backyard, from the other day, both with and without kids...
