Did You Miss Me?

Well, I guess I have some 'splaining to do... hmmmn... it goes something like this: I have no web access at the office anymore ever since the NASD/FINRA started tightening the compliance screws in response the market crash. Also, I started working on an in-patient psych ward at the very beginning of September (in addition to the Wall St. thing) and... surprise, surprise... those who run the hospital have decided that psychosis and the Internet don't mix well - who knew? Amongst all the 16 -20 hour days, I've found it difficult to tend to my digital life. I have partially corrected that problem with the acquisition of a web capable phone, so you will be seeing much more frequent though shorter posts.



Anywho, life certainly took no breaks so there is much to share. First and foremost, the Monkeys are well and continue to thrive. Zach started at his new school in Greenwich Village, and has adjusted wonderfully (at least once the bussing issues had been solved).
Miranda is now going to the Our Savior School 5 days a week and loves it, though she has had some difficulty remembering the Ickity Stickity Bumblebee song. We enjoyed a pirate-themed potluck dinner there with all of the other families last Wednesday evening which was a lot of fun.


I have quite a few pictures on my old phone to upload, but I haven't gotten around to it yet - I'll take care of that before the old service is terminated. Still, here are some pics from the Greek festival that took place some weeks back in front of Daddy's house - we won lots of prizes and went on all the rides. This first one was taken from the top of the giant slide.



Here Miranda poses with an enormous hunk of cheesecake - very yummy!

This one is Miranda amusing herself with some sticker artwork at one of Daddy's cookie meetings - these priceless works now hang in the front hall.

Zach now brings home homework and this is a shot of the first assignment that he did with Daddy's help - we were practicing the letter "Z".
Just another Miranda-crafted castle for squeaky to live in. He seemed to dig it.






















On one recent trip to the park we made some friends who had a very groovy electric Jeep so we took turns getting rides.
Lastly, Miranda poses in the pretty dress that was passed from the Childers household to that of the Brooklyn Millers - thanx guys!
