New design

Hey folks! What do you think of our new design? We figured we needed something different ... now that this has become less of a family travel blog and more of a family-stays-at-home-and-posts-pictures-every-once-in-a-while blog.

Also, just FYI, some of you have said that you wished you were notified every time we update our blog. Well, you have a few options:

1) If you have a google, yahoo, twitter or aim account, click here or click "Follow" on the left side of the screen.

2) If you're into RSS feeds, click on the "Posts" button under "Subscribe to" on the left side of the screen.

3) Petition us to start sending e-mails out when we finish a post.

A family grows in Brooklyn

It's been a busy and tiring few weeks for us.

After saying goodbye to Josh and Melanie - our last visitors - by having them do dangerous, adrenaline-raising tricks, we said goodbye to Jay and Linda by, apparently, having them raise our adrenaline levels.

We said goodbye to the playground by their place by having Elizabeth scrawl "E waz here" all over the place and try to steal the sand (little did she know our new home would also have sand ... Coney Island pictures below).

We said goodbye to our apartment.

And we said goodbye to my work ... or at least the birds on the roof of my work via the spout. We also practiced calisthenics, which would no doubt come in handy by keeping us flexible during our move.

We finally said goodbye to all of Elizabeth's favorite European foods ... wild blackberries, paella, and ... well ... corn.

And then, after a flight and a too-short weekend with Gigi and Grandpa, we were in Brooklyn, where we set off to find a new home.



And new playgrounds...

And new ... American ... food, including mangos.

And Nathan's hotdogs.

And bagels.
