Meet the Cousins

I've been a bit lazy on updating the blog. Bear with me as I add a few from recent events.

Earlier in November, Jack took his first trip to Massachusetts to meet the rest of his family. First thing to note is that it only took us a little over 3 hours to drive from NYC to Leominster. This, my friends, is a land speed record for us and makes the drives that take 4.5 to 5 hours suck even more.

More important, Jack met his cousins - Julia and Connor - and his extended family. It was a rambunctious event. What else would you expect from a MacFarlane gathering? 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

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
