No Place Like Home

• We loved celebrating Megan & Kyle's wedding. Meg was a beautiful and gracious bride, and they are so happy together! All the planning and preparation came together and it was a wonderful day.
• My cousin's wife, Bethany, took the wedding pictures and they turned out very good. She did a great job, and I'll try to post more of them once they are ready.
  
• I was sick with a cold and flu for the first 5 days we were there! That was definitely not fun, but it was nice to be around family so that Matthew was well taken care of.
• Then, Matthew got a bad fever the last 3 days we were there. It is even less fun to have your child get sick!
  

• We got to go to the zoo, play outside A LOT, and enjoy lots of quality time with our families. It is hard to have a limited amount of time to spend with the people you love so much. Matthew enjoyed all the new sights, toys, and attention.
  
• Matthew did pretty well on the plane rides. He slept for a couple hours, and was happy to have his own seat instead of having to sit on our laps.
• All too soon we had to leave and come back to our own home... which will soon be our old home since we are moving next month! We will still be in NYC, but it just might feel like a whole new world. I'll share more details later!

25

We are back in Brooklyn. Robin came back to New York with us and is living with us for the next two months while she does an internship at the Whitney Museum Library. Joseph has two more weeks off before school starts up again. We are having lots of fun!

I turned 25 this week! We went to lunch at the famous Grimaldi's Pizza at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. It was the best pizza we have had here so far! Then we went back home for homemade apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Joseph gave me Broadway tickets for Mother's Day/my birthday, so we left Matthew with Robin and headed into the city. We saw "Jersey Boys" and had a wonderful time. The music was incredible! We strolled through the crowds in Times Square and enjoyed the evening out. It was a great birthday!

p.s. Only 8 more weeks until little sister comes!

Travel

M at the airport --- the cute couple

We are heading out this week to spend some time in Utah. Joseph is done with school for a little while (yeah!) and we are looking forward to lots of fun and family. We have a long list of things to do and people to visit and wedding preparations to complete and memories to make.

I'm sure Brooklyn will continue on it's crazy pace without us here for a bit.
