Been quiet on the blog but not in reality so thought I would play catch up!
Had a good trip home at Christmas which made us excited to be moving back. Flights are now booked for June 21 and a c2week road trip up the east coast in advance.
We started January with a trip to the Thomas show at the Botanical Gardens. It was fun this year as both Ethan and Joshua were mesmerized.
We survived Ethan's first filling without any tears. The special kids dentists here really are impressive!
Winter has been kind weather wise in comparison to the previous two. We've had a storm one weekend which the boys enjoyed. Ethan was particulary skilled at snow shoveling!
I'm training for a half marathon. It's definitely more interesting training with kids in tow. 4 runs a week are done with either the single or double running stroller and then on a Satutday I get to run on my own. Remarkably I'm only two miles down on the training plan due to weather so have done well! Here are my partners in crime.
Here is my other partner in crime, after his first (and last) 5 miler with me (he slowed me down). Now on my Saturday morning 'alone' runs he does the first two miles with me, I drop him home and then finish the rest on my own.
We had a family day out at the American Museum of Natural history in Manhattan which was good. Somewhere we wanted to take the boys before we returned home.
We have continued to have lots of fun with our closest friends out here. These kids will miss each other a lot when we move.
My friend Caoihme and I have done our first babysitting swap so Matt and I had a good lunch date last weekend which was a rare treat.
We've had a few unexpected visitors. Matt's friend from school Matt Gouveia stayed one night as he was here for work. And his cousin Moira came up for the afternoon from her trip to the city.
We even managed a park play date this week in unusually warm winter for February!
All in all a good couple of months for winter. And on Saturday we're off to Florida!!
