Besides Long Island, we had lots of fun doing kiddie city stuff while the Birds were here. We went to AMNH, FAO Schwarz, and played at the Hippo Park. We also took a jaunt down to the Staten Island Ferry. The only reason you should do this Ferry is because it is free. Just kidding. …
Darn my lactose intolerance! Everyone was inside enjoying amazing Gelato, and I was left to watch from the window…
I love adult night out when we have visitors. It’s a chance to leave the kiddos behind and relax and actually get to catch up and talk. We didn’t want to overwhelm Rachel with 5 kids, so she brought along a friend. One NYC babysitter is expensive—two NYC babysitters about break the bank 🙂 We…
Living in the city with no car is really easy and convenient, until you want to leave. Then it’s a huge pain. Nat, Michael and Jack came for a visit and we decided it would be fun to head out to the beaches on Long Island for the weekend. For some reason car rentals in…

Wow. Fireworks in NYC are crazy! Crazy fun! Awesome Uncle Dan went into the crowd very early to secure us a good spot. We got pizza for the kiddos and then made our way downtown about 7:30. We hadn’t realized there would be bag checks at the entrance points and the lines were HUGE. Danny…
We are trying to take advantage of being on the East Cost, and so we had a quick weekend get away to Washington DC. We stayed at One Washington Circle hotel and it was AWESOME. We arrived very late at night, and I think the hotel clerk felt bad for us. Rusty and I were…
Carlie, Dan and Baby Gwen are here for a visit. It is so fun to have them with us, and the kids are just eating Gwen up. Halle can’t get enough of her, and so when we went to the Empire State Building the other day, Halle got to carry Gwen in the front pack. …
