May 14, 2002 - A WONDERFUL DAY. I saw
David Sylvian in concert. I have waited for over half of my life to see him.
Thank god Tomi
Rhodes introduced me to Japan/David Sylvian. I went all by myself. I had
a fantastic seat - Third row. I had the best time. I highly recommend going
to a concert by yourself. It was by far the second best concert I had ever
seen. (the Cure do not count of course). After Bauhaus that it! :) A great
day. Ian was very good for Michael! They shopped around and went to Tower and
bought the new Travis DVD.

May 15, 2002 - Playgroup - Mike played Golf. Then Gina came up and all FOUR of us went up to LA and saw The Cranes in-store for a concert. SO it was Ian's very first concert! :)
May 16, 2002 - Met our playgroup
friends Christian and Janelle at
Gymborre.
My dad came up and watched Ian while we went up to LA to see The CRANES for a
proper show. Gina, Liz and Monique were also there. :) We thought we would
be home around midnight. But we ended up going backstage and back to the hotel
with the Cranes. We knew Ian was in good hands. and we thought they would
both been asleep. When we got back my dad was waiting up for us!!! I almost
died I felt SOOOOOO
bad. He was so worried - it was 3:30AM!!!! He even called the Highway
Patrol. I guess you are always daddy's little girl. I guess you never stop
being a parent. Boy do I feel loved! We had a great time.
May 17, 2002 - Lunch with Mike again. This time Ian had Indian food! He really liked it. What a good boy. It is good to always try new things! (that is what my mom always says)! :) We were so tired of parting every night! We watched the Amazing Race, Survivor & Friends.
May 18, 2002 - Went to the Orange County Swap meet with Gina and her mom . Then we meet Ilona and Pat for lunch at the Haus Of Pizza in Costa Mesa! I really miss going there. We used to go almost every week when we live in Costa Mesa. and of course we had to hurry home to watch the Laker Game!! at 10 PM I went to the movies with Angie we saw "About A Boy" I loved it!!!! ****. I love almost anything just because Hugh Grant is in it. But seriously it is a fantastic movie. And not bad on your eyes! :)
May 20, 2002 - Moms club playgroup. It
was raining that day - Ian was a bit freaked out! :) It is just amazing how
everything is so new to them. It really makes you stop and explore the world.
May 22, 2002 - Playgroup at our house! Again good for us I cleaned the house up a bit. :). Mike went to Ohio for work for a few days. :( While he was there he saw "About A Boy" Saw a huge fight at a pub! So Mike had a good time. :)
May 23, 2002 - Met the Watson's. (Jena, Grant & Liam) in old Town Orange for Breakfast. We walked around some of the stores. Ian and I went to visit Grandma Mary and Grandpa Bobi. You have to be good to your mother in law. Someday I will be one! Ian and I went in the Hot Tub. Ian Loved it!!!
May 24, 2002 - Michael's Birthday!!!!!:) - Poor baby had to fly back home really early from Ohio. Mike and Ian had their picture taken together for his birthday and to send out in Fathers Day Cards. Watched the Laker Game - then Mike took a little nap before he went to LAX (11:30) to pick up Brian Greenspan and his girlfriend from New York!
May 25, 2002 - went to breakfast at Denny's! (Joel and Coco we took the pictures for you!). Mike, Brian and Catherine went up to Hollywood! They went to see the Star Wars movie. - Took Ian to Wal-Mart to get his picture taken with Ian. He wore a shirt that said "Only my AUNT understands me" I do not think Angie could love him anymore even if he was he own flesh and blood! Then we had lunch at Red Robin. Then Aunt Angie watched Ian while Mike, Brian, Catherine and I went to another concert!!! Peter Murphy. I ran into a wonderful old friend from Adam Roybal there! It was a great day!
May 26, 2002 . Mike took the two New Yorkers to Universal Studios!!! at 8pm we had a little birthday celebration at Mike's favorite restaurant Maggianos!!! Joe, Nate, Gina, Jami, Angie, Brian and Catherine and we were all there. Mike had a great time with great friends and the best food!!!
May 28, 2002 -We meet Lisa and Tristan for lunch (Frescas) and then we took the boys to the park.
May 29, 2002 - Playgroup and then Gymborre. I think Ian had the best time he has ever had there.
May 30, 2002 - I had a doctors appointment so my dear and wonderful friend Jena watched Ian for me. :) Afterwards we walked around Fashion Island and Grant, Liam & Ian played in the fountain. It was one where the water just squirts up and you have no idea when and were it is going to come from. They had a wonderful time. They were soaking wet.
Well Ian fell! - He was so drenched that when he fell his hand got caught in his vest. So he went face first in to the cement!!!! What a mess!!!! Ian = 0 - Cement = 1!!! The first time but not the last!!!!! I bet is you asked Ian we would have told you that was one of the best days of his life - even though he fell!!!
May 31, 2002 - Ian said "More Bubbles" today! :) Mike got off a bit early and we went down to SD. My mom made him a awesome birthday dinner. Lobster Tacos!!! and a beautiful King Cake. After Ian and I went in to the Hot Tub. He was in heaven - he is such a water baby! - How come there are not many pictures? I think we had such a great time and just forgot! Darn! You should have seen the 5 huge Lobsters and beautiful Mardi Gras decorations and King Cake my mom made from scratch. She is a regular Martha Stewart. :)
What a great month!!!
Every month just keeps getting better!
Lots of love -
Autumn, Michael & Ian Michael...
