So adorable

We got Luke’s after for a yummy snack.

Piano Recital

My daughter Maxine had her piano recital earlier this month. It was held in the Church in the Gardens in Forest Hills.

The venue was beautiful. Maxine did her best. We practiced, but she kinda froze up. It happens. This will be the first of many, I’m sure.

Last week, my daughter Maxine and I had another mother daughter adventure watching The Magic School Bus at Queens Theatre.

I was never into the show when I was younger, but it’s fun watching it with her now, and it was great seeing this live show. She was really into it and loved seeing the characters come to life.

My daughter and I enjoyed the Wild Kratts live show last week in Brooklyn. If you are watching a show at Kings Theatre, I highly recommend you get the family pack. It includes popcorn and a drink, plus access to their speakeasy area, where you can get a drink and use the bathroom (no lines!).

Maxine’s First Fun Run

Posted on March 14, 2026 by mlenoach

My daughter participated in her first fun run today! Super proud of her, especially because she fell, and she just picked herself up and kept it moving. It also helped that a young boy helped her and made sure she was ok 🥰.

I think there will be more runs for her in the future.

Here are some pics of my daughter making the penguin mailbox in February.
