Reading with Marcy

Marcy came over last night. I put on my furry red Elmo costume because she asked me about it. Is it possible Marcy wishes she were Elmo? Do all adults wish they were Elmo?
She is an awesome story reader and we made trains and I had a deeply rich chocolate cookie.
It's fun watching Emma and Madeleine listening to the Richard Scary counting book. I told Emma only three pages but she was so enthusiastic Marcy read and counted through the whole book.

Tu-tu Number 2: dance recital

This was my second dance recital. I felt relaxed and free. It was really fun. I received a flower and after went to the Diner and got a box of Corn Flakes. I love the Dance.

I was not relaxed and free. I was on edge, springing with my SLR like a hawk to its prey; dodging the mommies with video cameras and tiny digital cameras. These mommies don't realize you need a telephoto zoom to get decent photos.
This was the only class the parents were allowed into. Yes, Emma goes to classes where she doesn't need me! This added to the excitement and the need for a powerful lens as this was my only chance.

Grand Pa sprightly on b-day

We went to Henry's, a restaurant named after Henry. His son Jules is in my class. I wonder if he eats at the restaurant named for his dad or at his house and is the house named after his dad: Henry's House?
Restaurant rating: They had good muffins and comfortable high chairs and respectable potties. I'll give the restaurant a thumbs up on Menupages.

My dad looks great for 73. He's happy that we have Barack Obama in office!

Sequencing

My quest to get into one of the top schools on the Upper West Side of the United States of America must involve organic shape sequencing. Day after day I prove myself. I do and will succeed!

Emma, who is here sequencing the Russian shells in Sue Gamrin's basement, has also been making chart's for NASA, top secret.

Yes Yes Yes

As the year 2009 rolls in I say Yes. Yes to feeding the ducks, bicycles and truthful living.
I'm encouraging my sister, Madeleine, to start a blog of her own; call it Emma's Awesome Baby Sister: Insights from Heaven. We're sleeping in the same room now. It's fun having someone to tell jokes to at any hour of the night.

I say yes to Emma!

Snow and Jet Blue

Well, we're off on Jet Blue tomorrow. It's snowing but we're all determined to make it to San Diego.

I'm a little bit nervous, have I been good this year, will Santa get me anything? The darn recession.

The Holidays are coming, Oh no!

It is not easy being a model. Smile. Smile. And smile. After ten minutes I don't want to smile any more. After 15 minutes I don't want anyone to see my face. Now I know why super models demand big money.

My sister Julie ran an in-depth photo shoot of the girls, but I decided to take a couple extra, because parents are greedy. So these are the holiday photos that probably won't be on the card but are close to my heart.
