Jack's 2nd Birthday Party - NYC

On Saturday, September 10th, we celebrated Jack's Birthday with his friends here in NYC. Shhh...don't tell him that his birthday was a month ago. I figure I'll only be able to get away with belated birthday parties for a year or two.

All week leading up to the party, I was worried about the weather. We had rain. Rain. Rain. And more rain. Planning to have a party outside was beginning to seem like a bad idea (especially with no back up location available). Fortunately, the weather cleared at the end of the week and allowed the ground to dry (some).

With the concern about rain gone, we found the driest spot we could in the park and set up shop. Many of Jack's friends were able to attend. They all had a great time - lots and lots of giggling toddlers. These giggling toddlers also managed to find the less dry areas. Jack ended up covered in mud. He is such a boy! At the end of the party, Jack and his friends Jake and Lia started playing ring-around-the-rosie. It was so cute!

I've included some pictures from the day -  most of Jack, Jake and Lia playing.

Even though your birthday was over a month ago - HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY JACK-A-BEAR!!

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
