Lis and the kids went to the Florida Keys for Spring Break. Marathon, FL.
Lex07
We finally got an upgrade for our son. Went from Lex01 to Lex07… big upgrade. Lis isn’t really comfortable with the new features yet, neither is Charlotte. But Lex and I love it.
Cousins in the Park
Sunday afternoon we met Natalie (via cellphone navigation) in Central Park. She, her friend Kati, Nancy, Lis, the kids and I had brunch together at The Boathouse, a restaurant located in the park on a small lake. We did a little strolling before we ate and a little after, too.
It was great to see her. The kids got a real big kick out of it… really starting to sink in now just how much family they have. I don’t think Lex knows yet that you can’t marry your cousin, but that’s OK for now.
We decided Nat will come back for the summer, live at our place, and babysit.

Winter Fun
We had just a couple of chances to go sledding and skating this winter, it just wasn’t cold or snowy enough. So we crammed in a bunch when we could.
Have you seen these new “boogie” sleds? They fly!!
We did a lot of skating on a pond nearby. First chance the kids had to skate on something other than a rink (round and round in one direction) and we all had a blast. Both kids have been taking lessons again this year, but Lex is now taking hockey classes. First it was skating techniques, now he’s on to stick skills and scrimmages.
Charlotte’s Birthday
Saturday night we went to the local Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse with Lex, Charlotte and nine other eight yr old girls. Lotsa fun.
After dinner we went home for cake & ice cream and a movie.
Even more fun!

Where Do Babies Come From?
Lex asked me a question the other day. He did not ask “Where do babies come from?”. I’m prepared for that question. No, he asked me, “Where do the people that have babies come from?”.
I was a little thrown, unsure of just what he was asking. I answered, “Well, we were all babies once.” He said, “I know, but where did the people that had THOSE babies come from?”.
Turns out the little guy was pondering the chicken or the egg. Or god. Or Darwin.
My answer was that nobody really knows… scientists know some stuff, creationists believe some stuff, but nobody knows for sure and everybody really wants to know.
He said that answer was good enough.
Cuz It’s Been Too Long…
…since there’s been a post here. And way too long since there’s been a shot of my kids here…
This was Nancy’s Xmas card this year. A shot I took of the kids on a trip to “The Tree” at Rockefellar Plaza.
Happy Holidays!!
This is our Xmas card this year, but we’re so far behind I thought I’d put it up here. You will get the photo eventually, so don’t bother trying to print this one.
Hope everyone had a great holiday, and if you’re not back to work yet, hope it stays great.
I-Xmas!!
I-Xmas comes to The Legends of the Falls!!
Beginning Christmas Eve, after the kids go to bed (maybe late) link from the image below to spend some time with your NJ I-kin. Who knows, you might see Santa Claus!
