William’s in love. Well, as in love as any 4 year old can be. He’s not waiting by the phone for it to ring (do boys eventually ever do this?). He’s not afraid to ask this girl out and have her say “no.” He’s not dressing for her in the morning. [...]

In the past week, three of my NYC friends have lost their jobs. One is an investment banker. One’s in fashion. And another is a waitress.
It’s scary.
Are they married with families?
The investment banker is. The fashion friend is. The waitress isn’t.

September 28th, 2008.
Alexander’s 3rd birthday.
The “Happy Birthday” phone calls all started rolling in around 7pm. Aunties. Uncles. Cousins. Grandparents. And friends.
By 9pm, Alexander had had enough of the “Happy Birthday” singing on the other end of the phone.

HAPPY OCTOBER!

Oh, the joys.
I blogged on Monday about getting to NYC on Saturday for our friend’s wedding. I was lost. I was found. But all the while, I can say with 100% certainty that I knew my boys were safe and sound at home with my parents.
I was wrong.
I was told the “real” [...]

I was asked by one of my close girlfriend’s the other day if I ever get tired…
This was yesterday, while Matthew was away overnight on business:
6 am: Foot in face. (William hopped into my bed at 3 am and horse-kicked my nose on way into bed)
8:30 am: About to leave to drop [...]

Henry’s nursery is coming along little by little…
My husband couldn’t believe the deals I got at Pottery Barn Kids last weekend. Everything on sale was an additional 15% off!
Here’s what I got (excuse my cold):

9/11. My goodness, it changed life forever.
Matt and I had just moved out of NYC three months before 9/11 happened. We decided that the suburban life was what we wanted to experience, we had done NYC for 2 years… and we thought we were able to say, “Been there, done that.”
Then 9/11. [...]
