Our Families Descend upon IKEA

We had our first gathering tonight for the Connecticut Community Project, and I thought it was just fantastic. There were about 7 or 8 families there, and one of the best things about the evening was that it was a great mix of people, and those that were there really connected with each other. We had folks come that had 6-week old twins, people that didn't have kids yet but were in the process of adopting, and a good number of us that had toddler or young school-age children, and at least one pregnant woman!

It was so nice to sit and share stories with one another and compare parenting, adoption, and middle-of-the-night feeding notes. I think this group is really going to be something that can bring people together, and create a sense of community for queer families in Connecticut. Hence..the Connecticut Community Project.

Anyway, here's some photos from our first gathering together. I'm already thinking about our next gathering, which will be a potluck at our house. I'm thinking either Saturday, March 29th or Saturday, April 5th. Please let me know if one date or the other works better for your family.

Perhaps most importantly, please let me know if you know of somebody who would like to be added to my email list.

And, without further adieu...our families descend upon IKEA...
