confirmation

This was Beka's first class to only have her as a teacher for confirmation...

trains

Beka had to rearrange her travels out to Long Island...

...so she took pictures.

hanukkah/christmas

Doug went with Beka to Larchmont for the IFC Christmas and Hanukkah party. Plenty of fun with a side of crazy (aren't all holidays?). But we didn't really take pictures.

Beka's favorite moment was Andi, another teacher, saying "I have a fire maker and I know how to use it" before maniacally laughing and concluding, "and people let me teach their children?!?"

(Sarah Jo, this reminded me of you.)

snow...

This is the church in Larchmont where Beka teaches.

There's a wreath with cat toys in the classroom... but no cats in sight...

snow day

Doug was excited for our first snowfall.

Beka got almost to Flushing when she got an email that her class was canceled...

weeeeeekeenddd!!

Pushkin was helping Beka get ready for teaching on Sunday...






Eva just looked cute...








And Doug laughed at Beka for drawing Pushkin and Eva in the Day 6 bubble where God creates humans and animals.

(This is the activity that they did)










So Beka laughed at Doug when he called his hood the foyer and lobby of his hoodie...






And then when he dressed as the Trader Joe's Pope and his blessing looked more like a kung fu move...
