Father's Day Card

This is the back of the Father's Day card that Miranda made for me at
school. Of course I love it, but it's such an interesting peek into
how she sees me. Hopefully you can all read this - 

Birthday Party!

Another Miranda Masterpiece

What you're looking at here folks is a grade-A, hand-crafted, all-purpose, genuine unicorn house... or so I'm told. Miranda has been working on this for the last two weeks and put the finishing touches on it yesterday afternoon.

I'm no Realtor, but I suspect the unicorns will love it!

Today started out with a resolution hearing at Zach's school - the school had been trying to make some drastic cuts (-67%) to Zach's speech services. We filed for a fair hearing which is a big legally complicated process in which parents fight the NYC Board of Education (aka the Board of Dead).
Fortunately, the fates smiled on us and we were able to reach a compromise, albeit with some arm-twisting. Now we do not have to fight with them again until August.
After the pow-wow, I ventured north to Central Park where I met up with Susie and Samantha who were in town for Samantha's school chorus trip. They had been touring NYC all day on a bus tour along with several thousand classmates - actually it only seemed like several thousand. We (Susie, another parent and I) took 8 girls to the Carnegie Deli for lunch (tres yummy) and did some shopping with them afterwards - then rushed them back to The Plaza (pictured above) just in time for them to get back on the bus for a trip to spit off the top of theEmpire State Building. It was really great to see them, even as brief as it was!













































Note: I took the other photos while I was hanging around waiting for them to show up - enjoy!

A Day At The Zoo

Yesterday, we went to the Prospect Park Zoo. It was the first REALLY nice day of spring and the kids were on school vacation - perfect!
The photos are self-explanatory so I will dispense with the captions (you can make up your own) - enjoy!
