The Holloway Preschool

If you live in West Hollywood, CA and are seeking a preschool for your child, look no further than the Holloway School. My son Luca attended The Holloway Preschool and was never happier when he was there. Luckily for those who don’t know about the school, they have just unveiled their Website. It offers all the information (and more) that you would need in order to register your child.

Independence Day 2009

Luca, Deanne, and I started our July 4th at Plummer Park in West Hollywood. There, we caught all the fun activities they had for kids, including water slides, a bouncy, carnival games, and more; the stage performances included a theater troupe, a ballerina, and tap dancers.

Later, we caught the gorgeous fireworks at the Los Angeles Country Club Golf Course near Hancock Park. Luca, as you can see, enjoyed the sprinklers and fun with his friends, family, and neighborhood folk.

Catch a breathtaking view of Chicago in a glass box

Natives and newcomers alike now have a dare devilish reason to visit the Sears tower: glass boxes that offer a panoramic view of Chicago — 1,350 feet above ground!

Four glass boxes the size of elevators, collectively called The Ledge,  extend four feet from the 103rd floor of the country’s tallest building. While they supposedly have the ability to hold at least 5 tons each, I’m not sure I’d have the guts to venture onto one myself!

Judging from this picture from the Chicago Tribune, however, kids are the first ones to experience the attraction with little or no sense of fear!

Recall: Inflatable Floats

Yesterday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of 4 million floats made by Massachusetts-based Aqua Leisure Industries.

Due to the high risk of tearing (which therefore poses a drowning threat), 14 models of the company’s floats have been targeted by the commission.

The items, found at retailers such as Target, Toys “R” Us, and Wal-Mart, were sold between December 2002 and January 2009.

Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer, a couple known for maintaining their privacy, have recently told the public the name of their son, who was born last May.

A rep for Maguire revealed that his name is Otis Tobias Maguire. While it’s obvious where his middle name hails from, the rep did not say how the first name was chosen.

Congratulations Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick!

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick, best known for their Sex and the City and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off characters, respectively, introduced their twins Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge yesterday evening.

The couple’s surrogate welcomed the pair into the world last week in Ohio. In addition to their seven year-old son (pictured above) James Wilkie, the family has grown to five!

Sarah has mere months to get cozy with her new additions, as the Sex and the City sequel is set to begin filming at the end of the year.

Wow, that’s a mouthful.

Billi finds a home

Last week Serge, James, and Kensy found a kitten in our parking garage. Not wanting to see any harm done to her, they scooped her right up and brought her to the office to take care of her.

After keeping careful watch of her for a week, one of our sewing operators was able to take her home to a loving family.

We’ll miss you, Billi! Good luck. ;)
