Jared and Addie on Memorial Day -- at the Reich's pool party 

Lila "lost" two teeth.  (really Dr Michelle pulled them cause the grown up teeth had already grown in behind them)

And, of course, May is Miss Sophie dance recital.  Frisco was a hip hop star!!

I can't believe I haven't posted since frisco's birthday!  I'm so happy to report life has been fantastic!  mark left for nyc to shoot Royal Pains on march 18th and, while it's been challenging at times, my mom and aunt meryl have been so helpful.  cousin Jared is living with us for a month as he is doing an internship at The Audience.  The kids love him SO much and it's been amazing to have his company.  Lila, Frisco and Addie are turning into such amazing people right before my very eyes.  Addie is such a funny, loving, affectionate, fun, and STRONG kid.  She is very into her babies these days.  She has three favorites and they are ALL named "Mack."  Not even Mack 1, 2 and 3.  Just "Mack."  (sometimes Mackie).  She loves to spend time with me and in the morning asks me "you stay home all day?"  and when i say I have to go out she confirms "but you be back?  and then you stay all day?"  She's beyond adorable.  Favorite quotes of hers are "Me all done now."  Or "No me all done now."  "Memba?"  "You say me all day?"  "Hold me all day."  "you be back?"  

Edward came over for a playdate with frisco and they played a little soccer and Frisco has been looking forward to a "tournament" with me, Jared, Mimi and Lila.  Today we finally played and it was a very close game but the "goyls" won by a point.  When he realized what had happened, he turned his back to us and just burst into tears.  It was so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.  I think the AYSO youth league will be great for him as he really did enjoy the playing until that moment. 

Today was a bad day for Lila in that she got hit in the forehead with our great backyard swing.  She was so scared at first but then Jared brought home some art supplies and her mind was taken off of it.  Dr Sloninsky arranged a plastic surgeon to come in and see her and when i got there i realized it was that guy on the reality show!  but he was really nice and did a good job.  she needed one stitch and was very brave.  

Just a regular Sunday!

FRISCO'S 4th BIRTHDAY!!!

We all had such a great time at Frisco's 4th Bday, which took place in our backyard, at 2:30 today.  It was billed as a "fireman, Spiderman, pirate, dinosaur, dot party" on the invite, but, in the past two weeks, Frisco has become so obsessed with dinosaurs he pretty much forgot about everything else.  So, except for Spiderman table cloths, it was all dinosaur: Dinosaur cake, Dinosaur craft, a Dinosaur treasure hunt, and the best party guy EVER.  Adam, (aka "safari guy") made dinosaur balloons and entertained the kids for 2 hours doing... Well, I actually don't even know cause I was talking to other parents, but Mark video-taped the whole thing.

On Saturday, Frisco's actual Birthday, he said to me "I'm too shy to be four."  So precious.  He and Lila are having a sleepover tonight.  It's a special thing because no school tomorrow and it's his Birthday.  Sometimes I think we should let them sleep together every night but then... it's 8:45 and they are still chatting and giggling.  I want to remember every moment of our lives right now.  It is so good!
