Back in May, we went to Jonathan's 15th college reunion at Yale.

Max got to check out the campus


hang out on Jonathan


complete with his fancy binky teether thing too.


He also posed for pictures in front of buildings


checked out fancy fountains




met Emmy and Ella (and Auntie Gena and Uncle Bert)!





and don't forget, looked pensive and handsome in his little hat.


it was a long day. Naps were had.

A couple weekends ago we took Max into the city to meet Christine and Eugenia, two of my good friends from business school, and their husbands (John and Jamie, respectively). John made some super-tasty sandwiches, and then we adjourned to Battery Park City where John flew a kite, Max took a nap, and we generally hung out and soaked in the sun. Thank God for summer, esp after all the insane rain in June.

Christine, Jonathan, Max, and Eugenia. Max is the small angry one.


John did an able job with the kite...



...but Max had other plans.

Remember the olden days, back when spring had barely sprung and we had just visited Annapolis and the DC area? We spent one of those days in the DC suburbs visiting a few of my old college friends. I neglected to post the photos at the time but am now remedying the error.

Bert and Gena are great friends of mine -- Bert and I did a comic together in college, and we used to live near each other in Brooklyn. They have two adorable twin daughters too, which for some odd reason I can't find a decent photo of from this visit.


Jon here is another close college friend -- we were in the marching band together. Do not be fooled, we didn't actually march, more tended to run around making fools of ourselves in front of thousands of football fans, and imbibing various quantities of various inebriating substances.




Here is the kind of nonsense that we were so fond of from the band days, and a good example of why you probably not leave Max alone with band alums. Strange things begin to happen. Fortunately Max seems comfortable oblivious.

behind the scenes of yesterday's baby attack:

When we went down to Maryland a few weeks ago, we also were able to visit some friends who live in the DC area.

Rebecca (aka Spiels) and Eric have 3 year old twins, Sydney and Jason. Sydney and Max got along like gangbusters, and Jason played us his music (which sadly, I don't have any photos of!)


Until... the baby attack








Luckily, all was forgiven.
