Rev(lon) Your Engines

Today we put on our sneakers and headed down to Times Square, the starting line for the 2011 EIF Revlon Run-Walk for Women. I joined daddy's team this year, since last year we women out-fund-raised him by a factor of two. Are you planning to walk with your shirt down to there?


Even more exciting, this year Mema joined us on the walk. Even with an injured knee, she kept pace very nicely and was a wonderful addition to mommy and my team.


Speaking about keeping the pace, so far our combined donations are about 10% lower than last year. Daddy and I are ahead of you, Mema, and mommy...guess I must be the key to success! If you'd like to help in our family battle (and the battle against women's cancers) send us an e-mail and we will let you know how to contribute to our team(s) before the June 10, 2011 deadline.

One Plus One Is Two

I'm just one short month away from my second birthday, so it was important to take an 11:05 p.m. photo. Hard to believe how quickly time has flown. I remember when I turned two. Funny, that must have been before my time.

Don't Burst My Bubble

Not sure what name *you* give to those globs that they put in chicken soup, but this is what I call them...


Happy Passover!

An Exodus to the Lower East Side

On the night before Passover, we got everyone together at Sammy's Roumanian for our last chametz-filled meal for a while. I'm not sure why Daria brought her Garlic-headed doll Garley, a souvenir from the Stinking Rose. There's plenty of garlic to last the whole week.


What didn't stink was the Borscht Belt stylings of Dani Luv and having all of our cousins together to sing "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" with the waitress.


Charlotte and I enjoyed the schmaltz, both literal and figurative.


Happy Passover!

Four-tunately, I'm Four

I can't believe you turned four today, Liana! We have had a week of celebrations, with BoMa and BoPa in town.


Mommy and I baked a fantastic swimming pool cake with floating bears. I hope it tastes as fun as it looks.


The celebration went swimmingly...


...and the cake and pizza were delicious!


On my actual birthday, Mema and mommy came to school to help me and my friends decorate our own cupcakes.


I think your Monkey friends had a lot of fun.


Then it was time for candles. Happy birthday, big sister.


After school, we went to dinner with daddy to continue the festivities. I got to decorate my own pizza (do you see a theme?).


And together we blew out your candle. I am the one who is four-tunate (even though I'm not even two!).


Of course since I'm now four, I was still awake at 10:07...only 183 days until I'm 4 1/2.

I Could Eat You Up, Sister!

Daria, you're part of this complete breakfast.

Liana, you're the icing on my cake!


There is nothing quite like being sisters.

We Come From a Long Line of April Fools

Today would have been Grandpa's 73rd birthday. We remember our most beloved April Fool so much every day and know that he would be so very proud of us.

He definitely would have been pleased with how silly we can be! Today was silly dress up day at school and I was super cozy in my pajamas. And I took silliness to a whole new level (in case you can't tell: I have socks on hands, one pigtail and one braid, two different boots, and my pants and shirt are on backwards).

Silly geese!
