take me out

baby's first ball game, courtesy of NANI! texas rangers vs. tampa bay rays.



there were peanuts and cracker jacks, hot dogs and ICE COLD beers (for the grown-ups).



he doesn't know a lot about baseball, but once cosmo realized there was a score board, he wanted to know exactly what was going on at all times, and, most importantly, "is texas gonna win???"



he root-root-rooted for the home team, and lucky for us, they won! they even scored three home runs, complete with fireworks.



he got to stay up 'til eleven (that's midnight our time) for the second night in a row, which meant he was NOT ready for the ft. worth zoo the next morning. it's hard to keep up with nani, but a nice nap on the car ride back to her place, and he was ready for more fun.

artists/mothers

for mother's day, i'll be participating in a show called artists/mothers, in houston texas. it's a multi media event, including readings, performance, video and visual art, put together by sehba sarwar, at voices breaking boundaries.

i won't be attending in person, but i'll have a virtual presence via skype, and i have sent some water color images of coral polyps (and the algae who love them) that i've been working on for the wonderlab. i'm hoping to encourage connections between motherhood and symbiotic relationships that occur elsewhere in nature.

i know personally, almost all of the women participating in the show, and greatly admire their work. i feel truly honored to be in such company.



if you're one of my houston readers, take my advice and don't miss this show.
