Spencer turned 2!!

By
Spencer's 2nd birthday was June 1st. We celebrated in NYC and in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts party was first - over Memorial Day weekend.

Spence had so much fun playing with Jack and his cousins. He knew that it was a birthday party, but he was completely surprised when we all started singing Happy Birthday to him! He had this surprised grin, but overall loved it. Jack loved it too - right up until he figured out that he wasn't getting any presents.
Is everyone really singing for me?!?!


Icing tires...yum!

Back in New York, we had smaller celebration with fun a few gifts and cupcakes. (Don't worry, we're having a bigger gathering later in the summer to celebrate both boys' birthdays!).
Breakfast pancakes...

In addition to celebrating Spence's birthday, we caught up with good friends Matt and Beth Knoettner and their two boys, Connor and Brady. We met at a park in Acton where a local running store was holding a 5k and 1-mile race...and it was cold! I wore my winter coat it was so chilly and windy.

Justin and Matt ran the 5k. Justin came in 3rd for his age group - his first time placing!!! Jack and I ran the 1-miler. Yep, Jack ran a full 1-mile race. He did awesome - we finished in 14:30. Jack ran almost the entire way, stopping to let me tie my shoe and to catch his breath briefly. He was about to give up when we reached the organizers who were cheering and we could see the finish. He found his second wind and ran through the finish line with a huge smile on his face. He was so excited and we were so proud of him!
Jack crossing the finish line! So proud!!

Jack's official time - 14:38


Spence was next - running a tot trot with Justin. He also came across with a great big smile - cheered on big time by Jack!

Memorial Day morning, we headed back to NYC - and we found spring - along with thousands of our closest friends in Central Park.

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
