More Happenings

 

Movie watching ("Memphis Belle"?)

 

Maddie and Max spend the night and paint, once again, in my studio--

fish this time! 

Then back to the PK house for Easter baskets 

and the scaled-up-in-difficulty scavenger hunt. 

 

Since then, I've ventured out of my little sanctuary here and into the wide world--

for an in-person guitar lesson, to Trader Joe's, to the Huntington Gardens with friends, to the dentist (finally!), to Granada for an outside dinner with Linda and Jeff,

 

to the Woodward's for an indoor dinner with friends,

 

and Lea over after a year to have dinner inside 

and watch Rachel Maddow together!

 

As always, the cats watch. 

March Events!!

 

 

River Mateus Kelly arrives on March 19th!

Very happy papa!!

 

 

 

 

Maddie turns a 'tween on March 22nd! 

 

 

I call her the "Queen of Small Things"as she opens 

many little presents containing many little things.

 

 Congrats!

 

To Simon on his birthday--he just entered the double digits!

 

To Maddie and Max--who both got on the honor roll even though school was a big challenge on Zoom.
