Modern Baby

May 25, 2009

It’ll be another couple of months before I’m able to meet baby Corin in person, so for now we have to settle for video chats. Thank goodness for modern technology! Here’s the little guy after a bath, getting ready for his first Memorial Day BBQ with his grandparents. Wish I could be there!

Spring Has Finally Arrived in NYC

May 19, 2009

After many weeks of mostly rainy days, spring has finally arrived in NYC, just in time for the long weekend. On this particularly beautiful day, I took a walk through Washington Square Park, which recently reopened after months and months of construction. It was the perfect day to sit outside enjoying lunch, listening to live jazz, and enjoying the sun.

This live band was fantastic, I hope they play the park regularly!

Of course, what’s NYC without a little crazy? This guy was running around the fountain and yelling like The Hulk.

Snow in May?

Nope, just a scene for a movie being shot on Bond St., around the corner from my office. The crew were laying down white foam and spraying it with water to imitate melting snow. Movie magic!

What Happens In Atlantic City…

May 18, 2009

We took Cheryl to Atlantic City to celebrate the end of her single days. In less than two weeks, our dear friend will be marrying the love of her life, and what better way to send her off  into marital bliss than with a girls weekend in the east coast’s version of Las Vegas! This was my first trip to the land of tacky fashion, bachelor/bachelorette parties and salt water taffy, and AC did not disappoint. We had a blast, and we wish  Cheryl and Joe all the best in their future together!
