Summer in the City

By
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.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
