Art Feast is coming! Art Feast is coming!

For those of you who don't know, Art Feast is Chesterfield Arts' annual fundraiser.  It's fun and interesting and unique and entertaining!  We host up to 500 guests at the Kemp Auto Museum in Chesterfield, MO and show them how Chesterfield Arts helps foster the growth of the arts in our area.  My part, in the past, as been to do whatever Stacey (my boss) needs me to do...my part, this year, has been to put together and organize the silent auction.  HOLY COW!  This is not an easy task...but I have to say, it's been a lot of fun.  My committee is AMAZING!  I am very lucky!  However, now is the hard part - getting all the signage done and figuring out what will go in each zone and how each zone will be organized.  If you see me and I seem a bit dazed...you now know the reason why!  For more information, visit chesterfieldarts.org.

Other than that - Anna has a meet coming up the morning after Art Feast in Collinsville, IL...about 45 minutes from where we live.  She's excited for her next meet and hoping to continue her improvement!  We are all VERY proud of her.  

At school, Anna's 2nd grade class is doing a virtual torch relay.  If you want to participate, just take a picture of yourself (or your child) with this torch and then email it to highwayheat.Olympics@picasaweb.com.  Please type your location in the subject line (ie. Valencia, California, USA)  Lastly, click on this link and follow the directions at the top!  Thanks for participating!

Jake is doing chess club at school and has beaten most of the kids in his grade and is now working on the 6th and 7th graders...he always wants me to play, but I really don't know any strategy, so I'm pretty worthless as a chess opponent.

Andy's job is going well and being back in St. Louis has been nice and hard at the same time.  We're all so busy that we really don't have a lot of time for social stuff, but we're working on it!  The biggest plus, however, is my fabu family!  Grammie takes the kids over to see Grandma (she's 96 and lives on her own) as often as she can...sometimes, Rara comes along to play (Robin kicked a little butt at Apples to Apples Junior).

Happy January to everyone!
