Protesting with John

As some of you may know, I have been volunteering this summer with the Worker Defense Committee at Casa Latina, a local community organization that helps workers who have been the victims of wage theft (website: http://www.casa-latina.org/what-we-do/worker-defense-committee). One of the things we do is to engage in direct actions targeted at employers who refuse to pay their workers. Tonight, John came with me to an action! He was a very good advocate, and he also acted as photographer (usually my job), allowing me to be in the group picture. Check out my (unsuccessful) attempt at a stern face. Gabby also came along as our mascot.

Uncle Sergio

Gabby met her Uncle Sergio (finally!) last night, and she took to him immediately.

Here are some pics I have taken of Gabby with my phone:

Post-bar celebrations

On Thursday night, Gabby, Kirsten, and I went to a bbq at Nicole and Jeff's house to celebrate Nicole finishing the bar exam. Gabby was not too receptive to Quickly's attempts at play (then again, if I was a 14-pound min-pin, I don't know how I'd feel about a giant golden retriever puppy either), so she spent most of the evening in my lap. Below are pictures of Michelle and me, Nicole and Jeff, Michelle and Avilio, and Gabby and me around the table. The top picture is of Gabby thwarting my efforts to change the sheets.
