DOUBLE BARREL BAILEY

I turned around and found this wonderful scene on a recent date night with a couple 6-year-old girls I love. My wife and I were adamant early on: no play guns in our house! But soon sticks were weaponized, quickly turned into a instruments of mass slaughter. I realize now (with a whopping 10-years of parenting wisdom) that all we can do is try to keep our kids safe, fed and loved. Expecting to control much else is futile.

Lewis is a basketball player

I pity the fool who tries to shoot when he’s guarded by a tall fellow like this.

We had a loverly time at the zoo Sunday

Bailey and a turtle!

POWER IN YOUR RIGHT HAND

Art has a wonderful Piano teacher in Sharon Kaplan. She teaches him beautiful music but also loves him and understands his quirks Tourettes Syndrome. So grateful she’s in his life.

Look at this HUGE SLEEPING BOY post basketball practice

Art’s piano recital today

Art would tell you it went “horribly” because he messed up a couple times. But listen to the beauty that came out of our little boy today! Jessica and I just watched this video together and we melted. He doesn’t speak this language when he practices at home, but when he’s in front of people he plays gorgeously, with real expression and understanding. It’s wonderful and something that makes us proud of him and happy to hear.

This is Art playing Erik Satie’s ‘Gnossienne 2’ at his the Big Show, and annual recital put on by his wonderful piano teacher Sharon
