Our first day of school photo tradition continues to second grade.

(The shirts ended at age 6, so we improvised. Should come in handy for when he is in high school.)

With a bonus Chris Isaak performing Wicked Game and joining the encore. A memorable birthday trip!

Carnegie Hall. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. 48 hours in NYC also included lunch at Tavern on the Green, MoMA, and an immense dinner last night with loads of wine.

Mu husband and I visited MoMA to see this very painting and celebrate @OfficialOMD and the new Bauhaus Staircase album.

Happy Birthday Samuel! You and your Pap have been friends since Day 1. And now you are 8!

Duran Duran was amazing! And, after a night of dancing and singing along, we fans hobbled out on our sore knees, desperate for water and Tylenol.

Duran Duran at American Airlines Center...with likeminded people of a certain age who still love the 80s.

Hey @bradleywilson09 this is one of your Mass comm students interning at Channel 6. He interviewed my son and some fellow scouts for their annual cardboard boat race. Their boat didn't make it but they had a tale to tell. Great job @HooksShunde

[Marcy Brown Marsden @biomarcy]

Thanks @bradleywilson09 for your kindness sending me a postcard of one of your photos from commencement! My son loved seeing one of the cool parts of my job. 🎓

My son engaged in three fierce battles today. He was black-hatted and slightly more Texan-aissance than Renaissance.

June is going to be lit. 🔥

Ready for our movie! 👑 🍄 🏁

Ok he can take an ordinary photo but he still manages to look extraordinary for Easter with my dad. 🐣 🐰

[Marcy Brown Marsden @biomarcy]

Today I was reminded that it is becoming harder and harder to get an ordinary photo of my son.

On April Fool's Day I tried to fool my son by telling him I was thinking about making his room into my home office. He responded by being excited about it, offering helpful suggestions including using his closet as a storage area.

Our dog just turned liquid.

Thank for letting Samuel and I stop by! He enjoyed participating in your practice caucus.

I unexpectedly found myself with a meeting-free morning. Successfully maintained focus for 5 hours with a steady but slow dose of very strong Yorkshire tea and peanut butter overnight oats.

I think I found my caffeine-protein-productivity titration sweet spot.

My husband and son are in the UK visiting in-laws, so my son is decided to create a historical documentary. So far narrated a guided tour of WWII aircraft Avro Shackelton; today is Skipton Castle on how to fire crossbows from a medieval castle. Just your typical 7 yo things.

Thanks again to the Priddy Scholars for coming to Pastries with the Provost! As a first gen student myself it was great to hear how you are transforming yourselves through education.

I am very proud of this gift--congratulations to you and all fellow #firstgen students!
