Summer in the City

Summer has finally arrived in NYC. We've had a mix of sunny, warm days and rainy, muggy days over the last week. This Saturday (Aug. 1st) was a warm, sunny day - but slightly humid. We took advantage of the weather by meeting several friends in Sheep Meadow in Central Park.

For those that are unfamiliar with Central Park, Sheep Meadow is in the lower third, stretching between 66th and 69th streets on the west side (more details here). This is what Justin and I consider our outdoor space in the city - we just happen to share with thousands of our closest friends!

Anyway, we found a good shady spot and were joined by

Chat, Nina, Ketun, and Naya (7 month old twins)
Sarah Goulding
Phil and Ylang (with baby on the way - due mid-December)
Lisa, Rich, and Niamh (almost 2)
Judy (Jenn's Mom)

We shared great snacks, enjoyed the weather, and more importantly, had a great time catching up some friends. Pictures are below.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!). Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...) Sleepy times with Grandma Enjoying a new toy! Such a big boy

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
