December 2005

December 2005 http://www.maestrebunch.com/OurFamily/1205.html December was a month of new things and transitions. Adena transitioned back to work at Genentech, while I took the month off to take care of Madeleine. Ella our new Nanny started coming two days a week in preparation of Adena and I both working starting Jan 3rd. I made the most of my time visiting with friends and taking care of things around the house. Ella’s first day with Madeleine was a big hit http://www.maestrebunch.com/OurFamily/1205.html#0 28fefd8a-821b-44f7-90f1-abe185b3bf5b http://www.maestrebunch.com/OurFamily/1205_files/Media/IMG_0032/thumb.jpg http://www.maestrebunch.com/OurFamily/1205_files/Media/IMG_0032/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
