To immerse or not to immerse?For the past few months we have been seriously considering registering Piper for Chinese Immersion Kindergarten and Elementary School. Of course she wont be going to Kindergarten until Sept 2010 but registration is at the end of this year and we need to make decisions now. Every single person I have spoken with is 100% for immersion programs, we've done some research and spoken with the school and we are ready to make our decision. I'd love to hear others experiences with similar programs so feel free to leave a comment or email me! We also signed Piper up for one of the Summer Camp Immersion programs, it's just one week long, 3 hours a day and she LOVES it! The other AWESOME side effect...she falls asleep immediately once she goes to bed which is nothing short of amazing. This leads us to believe that she is being challenged in a positive way! Quite honestly, I was fearing our other more mainstream choices...this one seems to be just the ticket!

We love 'the girls'We love the girls across the cul de sac...L.O.V.E them..ever since we moved here just over four years ago 'the girls' have had a big role in the Snowflowers lives. Bryce, Avery & Dillon are Piper & Paisley's 'big sisters. Mike and I adore their parents (the beautiful Kristine was featured in one of my photogrpahy blog posts). I am sad that they have their house up for sale, but I treasure each and every day our girls spend with 'the girls'.
This was taken last Friday night after a delicious and impromptu dinner across the street.

gymnastics rock!
the kid rocks the gym...seriously, she loves it! Piper has been doing gymnastics for just over a year and is currently learning how to do cartwheels and handstands on the beam! At some point pretty soon I am probably going to have to look away...but for now, with her coaches nearby I took the opportunity to snap a few pics.
Ta Da!

Art for Arts' sake
I fear I'm addicted to taking photos. My new obsession. Tonight we ventured over to the Weisman Art Museum...I fell in love all over again. What is it about Gehry that floats my boat?
