It has been a while since we have added anything here! WELL -- Mickey has finished preschool, visited Grandma and Grandpa in Kansas City, and turned 5!!!!!! On our trip to Kansas city we went to Worlds of Fun and rode all sorts of crazy rides, including one called the Spinning Dragon that Mickey would like to never go on again. He also had an e...
Well, we finally had a big enough snow storm and cold enough weather to have a couple days of sledding. There's a hill just big enough for a four year old up a few block in Ft. Tryon Park overlooking the Hudson River. It's really beautiful up there and fun with all the families sledding the big hill. Even when the one dumb seven year old kept wal...
Our apartment was being painted, and since Papa was on break for three weeks, Mickey took him down to visit Grandma Linda, Grandpa Dale, Auntie Mary and his cousins, K.C., Mark and Alex! What a blast!!!! There were dirtbikes to ride (with K.C. and Mark's help of course), an aquarium with sharks, moray eels and aligators to look at, and a Chil...
So, this Fall we have had Mickey in gymnastics at the Chelsea Piers, a humongus facility with all sorts of things going on. Even during the gymnastics classes there are 100 classes going on all at once (much to Daddy's chagrin). Mickey loves rolling around, hopping, jumping, climbing the rock wall and jumping into the ball pit. We're thinking, c...
The first weekend of November found us in Asheville, North Carolina. Butch, one of Daddy's dearest friends, and his partner Monroe, finally tied the symbolic knot with a commitment ceremony in an Episcopal church in Biltmore village. It was a beautiful ceremony and Daddy played his violin. As one of Monroe's older brother's remarked, "well, ...
Mickey attends Medical Center Nursery School, a great nursery school at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. This is his second year there and we, and he, loves it. This year, his teachers have the children tell stories while one teacher writes the stories down. They then cast the story as if it were a play, and the children act it out. Below is M...

Seriously. The building/3rd floor isn't the same without you. (I haven't met the new neighbors. I've been avoiding them because I can't bear to think of someone else living in your old apartment.) I hope you are enjoying... -Pam Thompson Hi Mickey and Tom and Robert also! I must tell you how much I enjoy looking at the pictures and hearing of your adventures. Of course, your Grandma Linda fills me in on lots of the details, but I do enjoy getting your updates. Take it easy on the move and let us all know how you are doing in your new home. -Great Aunt Anne Hi Mickey,
I hear your birthday was a smash hit! And I can't believe you're 5 years old. I'm looking forward to visiting you in your new house. You'll have such a great time growing up in the country. So many critters, so little time.
-Gloria Hi Mickey!!! We sure did have fun while you were here, and can't wait for you to come back to ride some more. The boys miss you. Love you bunches Auntie Mary, KC, Mark and Alex -Mary Vaughan |
