Franco need a big drink

Mary Kay's Tenure Party

It was a pretty big hit. About eighty people came.

We had a pig roast.




And a lot of food (most of which was made by Vittoria; Rhoda made the mango pie).




And a pinata.

Vittoria being Vittoria

She just hangs out like this most of the time. Except for the evenings between when Mary Kay and I get home and when she goes to bed, when she's usually crying.

Katie and Mary at Gymnastics

They have both improved a lot.

Mary's First Dance Recital

Can you sense the excitement?

She's up there. Really.

Here's the video. I'm sorry the woman in front of me was a selfish jerk who kept moving in the way and messing up the focus.

Katie's Fourth Recital

Katie just had her fourth recital. I think it was a success.




This is from the dress rehearsal.
