Snow!!

By
We finally had a real snowfall!! Around 10" fell in our area making the city look like a winter wonderland for at least a couple of hours.

We got the kids dressed for the snow. Many layers and at least 1/2 an hour later, we were ready to head to the park. I kept thinking of the scene from A Christmas Story when the little brother can put his arms down because his winter clothes are so thick.

The park was beautiful! And people were everywhere. It was like a painting - families sledding and laughing and people going by on their cross-country skis. It was very fun.

From previous winters, we knew of a good hill right at the entrance near us. We found that not only is there one good hill, but there are three! Off we went. Jack was excited to sled, but definitely not excited to get snow in his face. Jack even went by himself a few times - he did great, but he got a bit scared. Spence wasn't too sure about being out in the cold. He seemed to enjoy sledding though.

First, we had to get a sled (no easy feat given that stores are prepped for spring!)

Sledding away (Spence is tucked in their somewhere)

There's Spence!

Sledding together

Funny brothers!

Not so sure about this snow stuff (or maybe is the too large snowsuit and five layers we dressed him in)

Family shot!

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
