Frankie's Got a New Hat

I saw a baby turban on Hilary Duff's Instagram so I ordered one on etsy. That sentence might be gobbledygook to some of you but now it is preserved for all posterity for future civilization to understand our ways.

Isn't she cute???

Frankie is 4 Months!!

Purim Carnival Day!

Today was the Purim Carnival at CBE.  The kids were very excited to go. 

They started off by getting their faces painted. Then we found Sadie's friend Gabs.

After that we went down to the gym where there were bouncy castles to play in and inflated horses to ride on. 

(Gabs' dad and I hung out while the kids bounced. )

Then it was time to go across the street to the synagogue for the Megillah reading.

After the megillah reading, we got hold of Theo M's dad's wig. Alchemy!

After all the Purim business, we'r went to lunch with Theo and Chris. The kids ran around in front of the burger place and mugged while we waited for our food to come. 

Once again, it was a lovely day. 

Frankie is watching!

Francesca has begun looking around and looking at us and making eye contact and babbling and squealing (most recently at 5 a.m.). She's here and she's delightful! 

On the way to the movies

I believe this may be my favorite photo I have ever taken of my daughter. 

Busy Winter Morning!

It was a busy winter morning here. Our friends Brad and Juni (his daughter) came over for brunch - I made Belgian waffles and V made a Frittata.

Afterwards, Brad and I took the kids to JJ. Ir was pretty cold over there so to warm up after, the kids demanded ice cream. 

Good morning! 

The Author at Work (and other stuff)

This little boy hardly ever stops smiling. 

Upside Down Kids

Winter is almost over and these monkeys are ready to get out there and swing around. 

Sunday Near the Park with David and Jeannie

What do you call a collection of Hendins on a winter's day? A herd of Hendins? A murder? An exaltation? 

At any rate, two weekends ago Hendins were gathered and bagels were eaten at David and Jeannie's lovely Manhattan apartment. 

That's Aron Hendin chatting with Francesca. Behind Aron is her sister Jess.
