Maya performed this evening in the Ugly Duckling, a ballet adaptation choreographed by Carrie Schantz Voiland, her teacher at the School of Ballet Arts. Maya performed with great poise and grace as Jeanine, her cousin Johnnie and I looked on. Nicolai is in California visiting with Kyle in Santa Clara. I photographed the entire performance and pictures can be found here.

I spent the entire day in Wellesley attending a strategic planning offsite at the Babson Executive Conference Center. I am responsible for Engineering at iRobot and support three separate business units. Pictured here are my colleagues in our Home Business Unit. I arrived two hours earlier than the 8:30 am start time to avoid rush hour traffic and to do a little morning light photography. I had little to show for an hour spent walking along the Charles River but am happy with the reflecting pond scene below.

When Maya returned from her ballet class this evening something was distinctly different. It took me a moment to determine she was wearing makeup which is quite out of the ordinary for her. She explained that she had come from a dress rehearsal for an upcoming performance and I seized upon the occasion to have her sit for a portrait.
