10 Days in Boston

One train ride, one marathon, one bridal shower, one night at the MFA, one trip to the Children's Museum, some visits with friends and cousins, several jaunts to local playgrounds and Kid Stedman is finally back in Brooklyn.

Cue the nap-time music.

Hats of Many Colors

The "I live in New York but you know who I'm rooting for" hat

The "useless bloomers under-the-dress" hat

and sheepskin space ship.

The versatile "sometimes a bag, sometimes a cap, sometimes both" hat

Cousins and City Skyline

Look closely at the top two photos. She's there, the middle left black and white spot, racing headlong towards the NY skyline.

Cairo and Louise

Back when Alison and I were room mates (3 times!) we probably never thought a dozen years down the road we'd be chasing our daughters together on the playground, policing their snack sharing, and watching them grow like weeds before our eyes... how nicely things have turned out.

Cairo and Louise have been good buddies for their whole lives and we suspect the trend will continue.

Into the Toy Bin

Happy Easter From Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Enjoying sunny weather in the high 70s on a beautiful Easter Sunday. Louise hunted for colored eggs and was delighted with her natural findings instead: spiky sweet gum seed pods, nubby sticks, and bottle caps. Happy Easter!

Lila and Louise

Best buddies. Amigas. Soul mates. Yin and yang. Partners in crime. Cousins.
