NYC Blizzard

After last week's blizzard, we took Jack to Central Park to go sledding for the first time. The snow was perfect and deep!

Jack loved the sledding part...and pretty much hated everything else: being pull back up the hill, waiting to sled again, standing in the snow...all were met with crying. Then smiles again when he was placed back in the sled.

Here's a quick video of one of his runs.

The only gloves we could keep on his hands were mine. 
Hence the Edward Scissorshands look.

A fabulous example of the top-notch snow removal after the blizzard on 70th. This garbage truck is equipped with a plow. However, it is stuck in the snow and hit a parked car.

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
