Come on Irene

We are now waiting to see what happens with Hurricane Irene. Justin has to stay in NY for work, and the kids and I have decided to stay with him. We are not in a flooding or hurricane evacuation zone, so hopefully we'll be fine. We'll secure or bring in everything we have outside and load up on food, water, flashlights and batteries. It should be fun. 

In the meantime, for the past few weeks, we have been

taking swimming lessons,

enjoying first popsicles (that's just water),

dressing up as King Henry and Queen Elizabeth, 

watching a full-length movie (Ponyo) and only sobbing a few times,

trying new foods,

taking care of friends both old and new,

getting to know ourselves,

exploring the Children's Museum of Manhattan,

enjoying Central Park and apple cider doughnuts, 

falling asleep after a busy day in Manhattan, 

enjoying a picnic dinner at the playground,

and turning seven months old!

Henry now has two teeth and is so close to crawling!
