Before I write anything else, allow me to acknowledge that yes, I am lame for posting so infrequently. I don't even think this qualifies as a blog at this point--more like a message in a bottle.
Today is Stella's ninth birthday! She will be chowing down on cupcakes with her classmates today, and tonight Adrianne and I will be taking the girls to Elephant and Castle-- a restaurant beloved by two distinct groups of people: 1) Long-time neighborhood regulars who stow their doggie bags in their NPR totes, and 2) Stella.
The real celebration happens next Friday, when Stella is hosting a pool party on the roof for her best friends. Hopefully we'll get good weather.
As far as Stella's health goes, there truly hasn't been much to update you on. She continues to do fantastically. No issues since the last post way back when, no disruptions to her school or social life. Her treatment is finito come December--less than seven months from now.
I had the pleasure of chaperoning Stella's class to the Silk Road exhibit (the class is studying China and exploration) at the American Museum of Natural History today. We rode the subway there, of course--I took that picture today. Even with the help of the kids' teacher and six other parents, I was wiped out after just half a day of shepherding those little scamps around. I don't know what kind of vitamins those teachers must take.
The other picture was taken a couple weeks ago and features Little Cousin Jake, Sella and Zoe's favorite new toy. I think I overheard Aunt Becca trying to shanghai Stella into babysitting duty.
