an update from Rebecca/ October 18th, 2007


poor max has shingles. but the doctor was impressed by how little he complains about pain. he's his father's son!

i was able to get free tickets for DISNEY ON ICE -- HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. max and i couldn't care less about the show but he and i took another mom and three girls who LOVE the show and were so thrilled with max for taking them.

gus is in love with a five year old girl in max's class. he helped me decorate the house for halloween today. then we went to get max at school before i worked the night shift. he brought a little halloween decoration as a gift for his new love. she loves the attention.

meantime finn is just as happy and jolly as ever.... except late at night when the new teeth poke through.... he's up to six teeth now! but the pain of the new ones coming through is pretty rough. still everyone who meets him comments on what a happy baby he is. he keeps us all laughing!

p.s. -- max and gus were AMAZING sunday night when i took them to the theater. Emily Levey was appearing in Steven Sondheim's MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG so i took them to the final performance. i had never seen the show so was a bit worried when it was all about a heavy drinking hollywood producer who cheats on his wife! luckily ALL of that went way over the boys' heads. they were just so entranced by watching live theater with seats very up close and real people on stage singing and dancing. they loved it and -- since they were the only ones under 18 in the audience -- the other theater-goers were very impressed by how quietly and in rapture they watched the show.
