A few pics of the cold wet fun are here.

Snake charming with Leif & Valentina

More Diaz-off-school-for-the-week fun! Leif and Valentina joined us at the AMNH for some snake handling... when do we get to touch the cobras?

Presidents Day on the South Side

Like a lot of kids, Diaz had the day off from school, so Don decided to drag her around the neighborhood and then to Chinatown and Nolita. Points of note included a stop at Momenta Art, shopping for cheap jade jewelry on Center St., and eating french fries in an Irish pub on Bowery. A couple of shots from the Brooklyn part of the adventure are here.

An enterprising young lady

Setting up shop on the kitchen table, Diaz opened her first store, "Polkadot." She's charging around $50 for a plastic bracelet-- welcome to New York.

On the roof with Diaz

It's a lovely February Sunday, so Diaz and I headed up the roof with a camera to see what we could see. Diaz quickly started art directing and many shots of the mechanicals on the roof followed. A small set is here.

Sleepover at Donna's!

What a treat. Donna offered to host a sleep over for Bella, Luca, and Diaz... sans parents. So while the kids were sacked out in Manhattan, we parents were very much not tucked in around Brooklyn. A night out without having to be home for the sitter.

The fun actually started earlier that afternoon, as all of us headed to the American Museum of Natural History for a chinchilla visit. Three cheers for family! A small set is here.

Diaz, the day after. Does anyone really sleep at a sleepover?
