Tommy enjoyed Iris's party too

Our kids can only eat pizza with no cheese, and Tommy loved it. Everyone else was surprised at how much, and for how long he was eating.

first movie today

Iris saw her first movie in a theater today:  Puss in Boots!

Thanks Pepere!

my dad sent the kids a HUGE stuffed dog. They were both very excited when we opened the box today--Iris was shriek-giggling. Here are some pics of Iris and Tommy with their new pal (who still needs a name)

Iris on phone with Pepere Martel. Note the stylish old phone.

To the library

Tommy's chilling

At home with dad. Irene brought Iris to birthday parties for 2 classmates, both scheduled for this morning.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Tommy likes spaghetti

Pretty damn cute, I say.
