Living in Pasadena

My seven-year-old daughter Isabel has school pictures today. Normally, she wears a uniform to school, but because her school worked so hard during testing week, they were given a free-dress day today. Now she can pose for her school pics in her new digs with her new haircut. Isn't it cute? Of course, she'd be cute to me even with a bald head. I'm her doting dad, after all.

Isabel goes to a great school within the Pasadena Unified School District. McKinley Elementary has treated her well for first and second grade, and their focus on the arts is outstanding. More than likely, she'll be there for third grade next school year and then who knows where we'll end up living. Only time will tell.

In the meantime, Minoska, Isabel and I thoroughly enjoy living in Pasadena. It's such a great city and we live in walking distance to the heart of trendy Old Town. No matter where we end up after I complete my grad school studies at Fuller, we'll look at our time in Pasadena with great fondness.
