The February 2015 edition of "At home in NYC"

Hiyo! And welcome to the February edition of "At home in NYC." For both of you following this blog, you know very well that we Wards don't have that much longer in NYC ... and, thus, there won't be too many more editions of "At home in NYC." Coming soon to a blog near you, we might unveil an "At home in Reston" ... or maybe if we buy a new home Kate will want to start a home improvement blog. Most likely, though, I'll get even lazier than I already am and will just post photos to Facebook. Only time will tell!

Anyway, although we had a lot of fun this month with family in and around DC, since we didn't bring our camera with us, you're stuck with these photos of our activities around NYC, which consisted of....

Celebrating Kate's birthday:

Tapping a maple tree in Tenafly, NJ:

Going to the Sony Wonder Technology Lab in Manhattan (I would give this place a C-. In 2007, when this hands-on technology museum for kids opened, I probably would have given it a B+, but since the exhibits haven't changed since then, I'm going with a C-):

Here are some cute pictures from January ... I realized I never took these off the camera:

The January 2015 edition of "At home in NYC"

Since January 3, we've been in our new home. We've had a few visitors and done a few neat things around NYC, but mostly we've just been at home unpacking, staying warm, and celebrating Henry's birthday. Here are photos:

And here are a smattering of pictures that were on my phone, including:
