Family Pictures

Not much has been going on in our family lately...hence the blog absence. We've had some cute pictures though.






So precious...my 2 sweet boys.



E made my bed for me as a surprise one morning and left this note "I made your bed love e"




The BEST time to be in NYC...the UN General Assembly! Since we live just a few blocks from the UN we get to see it all. Lots of road closures, buses not running, cops/firefighter milling around(not sure what the firemen will do but it sure does look secure), foreign people everywhere, rallies, the President driving by OUR house. What excitement. Every year Cannon captures the drive by on tape. This year L was just as excited as he was....if you look really close you can see a black dot that may or may not be his car. But all the SS guys hang out of the windows of the 57 Lincoln SUV's (not the year 1957 I mean there are actually 57 SUV/cars) to make sure there's nobody suspicious lurking on a street corner. C'mon, this is NYC...there is always someone suspicious lurking on the corner. And all of them hanging out the sides pretty much ensures that the Prez is not in THAT car...so he must be in the ONLY one that doesn't have 5 people hanging out of it) Luckily this all only lasts a week and then we're back to normal. And we can feel safe again knowing that if there is some kind of emergency like say a fire or a mugging that the cops/firefighters will be able to respond. (literally everyone from the NYPD is hanging out in the 10 block radius of the UN. I felt like I was doing something wrong just going to the bank...they all stare and make sure you're legit...or it could be cuz I'm so h* o* t pssss. hot haha) ahem, moving on.



Since my last potty post L took a bit of a break from pottying only going every now and then and then since we were in DC for the summer it totally stopped. When we got back I decided that the only way it would work is if he was pant less all day. So he was and it worked. He had a few accidents, after just a couple weeks he was accident free and now runs to the little potty when he has to go. He is a bit freaked out by his poo and always runs to get us when he goes, urging us to put it in the big potty. Too cute!



So basically L is ALWAYS either all naked or half naked while we're at home, which is very cute, but you do have to get used to the not so pretty angles of a naked toddler : )

He is so so cute! I can't believe he is already potty trained! I'm just getting John to the point where I don't have to worry about accidents all the time. Congrats!

Hey Cassie! I am so glad you found me. I love your blog posts. I think our kids would get along (as would we). Crazy that we have so many common friends already. I am so glad we met. We should do a play date or lunch or something. We can meet half way or you are welcome to bring the gang here.

Kassie!!! I am so glad I was looking through old posts or I never would have found your comment! Small world that you know Mehrsa, isn't it? She is awesome. She and Jared met each other at my birthday party in college, and Ash grew up with Jared. Your family just looks wonderful, and how awesome that you are still doulaing all the time! I am such a slacker. I think I make up reasons why it wouldn't work out (school/preschool schedules, still nursing baby, etc). How do you do it, you stud? I love your homebirth pictures, by the way, I should scan some of mine from Eliza's birth. Now I can check in on you all the time! Thanks for leaving me a note. Love, AUdrey
