To England, where my heart lies

Theo, my mom and I are off to England tonight. We will spend the next 10 days visiting three sisters/aunts, one brother/uncle, one father/grandfather/great-grandfather, numerous cousins and a best friend/godmother. It should be really nice and I am looking forward to introducing Theo to so much family. I will not have much internet access while I am there so I will have to do an update when we return. Happy Spring everyone!

S'MAC

This is one of the beautiful things about New York City. I haven't been there yet but I can't wait.

Mommy milestone

I did it. I spit-cleaned my child. Before I even realized what I was doing, I licked my thumb and rubbed a smudge off Theo's face.

Just in time

I just got in from running some errands with Theo and I sat down to check email while he sleeps in the stroller. My back is to the window but the sounds of the howling wind made me turn around and suddenly I see massive amounts of snow blowing sideways - SIDEWAYS people!! NYU needs to open an extension school in Hawaii or something so Rich can teach his spring semester there. I guess this is March roaring in like a lion, right? Theo has yet to experience a decent snowfall because every time it has snowed this year it's just like this, no lightly falling, plumpy snowflakes for my baby. Stupid, stupid snow.

Creating Our Own Happiness

A friend sent me this today. While this is a philosophy I also hold, I need to be reminded of it sometimes, oftentimes, so this came at such a good moment. I should just print it out and read it every morning as a reminder.
