Logan and the Marathon

on saturday i headed down to magical Park Slope. the land of babies and puppies and townhouses.

on sunday (i might have slept over) we went for a walk with the babies (not the puppy, he was at home) and went down to watch the NYC marathoners as they came up 4th avenue. so exciting! it was inspiring and incredibly humbling. i'm not sure i could ever run a marathon. all the power to those who can and did.

and um, PS, have you seen Logan's eyes? what a little stud. 

Little Girlfriend and her BlaBla Elephant

When littlest Lilly was born I couldn't wait to go shopping for "girly stuff"

don't get me wrong, i love the littlest boys in my life Matty - Logan - Clark...
and all of the wonderful, trucks, cars, blocks and rubber snakes that come along with them.
(ok, maybe not the rubber snakes)

but finally I could peruse anything and everything feminine - pink! purple! frilly! fluffy! fancy!!!

**deep breath**

While in one of the many great baby stores on the UWS I stumbled across this Elephant created by BlaBla. Here name is Josephine.

She was perfect. I knew Lilly must have her. 

(secretly I wanted one, and I might have snuggled with her a few nights before bringing her to Park Slope)

there are hundreds of crocheted dolls to choose from.

along with hats, sweaters and booties!

oh and finger puppets. i love finger puppets.

Let's Play Catch-up: Intrepid with Mama and Daddy

back on a hot, hot, humid summer day we FINALLY got to the intrepid.

boy did we have fun! :)

Let's Play Catch-up: Jessie and Rob get hitched!

After months and months of anticipation the big day finally arrived! Jessie and Rob got married on one of the most beautiful summer days I have ever experienced. Blue skies, cool breeze, warm sun. It was glorious. The ceremony was romantic, touching and funny. No one tripped down the aisle. Jessie looked incredibly stunning and Rob looked handsome and confident while he awaited his future wife as she walked down the aisle accompanied by her beaming parents. I was honored to have been asked to sing and giddy to walk down and back up the aisle with JG. 

Oh, and there were loads of italian cookies and even more dancing! Basically, it was awesome. 

Let's play catch-up: The Rehearsal and Dinner

The night before the big day we all gathered at the site of the wedding and rehearsed. We walked, talked, and laughed our way through the motions. I think we were all giddy with excitement and also starving, so after everyone new what they had to do and where they had to do it for the wedding ceremony we all headed in town for the dinner at The Placid Club Boat House. What a wonderful night!

                
        

let's play catch-up: in the woods

   

there is this consignment shop around the corner from my apartment in nyc. this lace maxi dress was adorning the dress form outside the shop. i went in and bought it immediately. then i heard the story of the dress. it was part of the 1950's wedding attire of a little old lady who lives on my block. everyday her husband pushes her up and down Claremont Avenue in her wheel chair. i truly feel honored to wear a bit of her romantic history. i paired it with my red frye cowboy boots to make it a little more mountain-7.

also, every year that i've gone to ADK jake buys me one of these silver stacking rings. i love them.
