The next step was to go to Cecilia's for a quick intro lesson and then to begin.

Lisa and Char beginning their squares. This would be our life (more or less) for the next two months or so.

The baby shower was held at Elizabeth and Phillip's place. Here the two pregnant people congregate suspiciously around the refrigerator.
