I know what you are going to say - or what you are thinking - so just lay off for a sec. It has been almost a year and a lot has happened. I don't think I could easily recap if I wanted to. Let's just say I was working full time and work had taken over my life. Now, I am back home again after a grueling 7 months and am once again a stay at home mom. Oh, that's another big thing - we actually have a home, Matt has a new job, everything is different and yet, oddly, the same. Yea!
My last post was about a glorious cruise with our friends Sean and Sarah. Our final days of that cruise were spent in New York City. Here are some fun pics from that adventure:

Matt's first time in the city. I tried to get his "first impression expression."
Sarah and I got cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery - the bakery that started the cupcake craze. So good.
Matt and I in Times Square. It was a quick trip through town. We were there less than 48 hours, but we crammed in everything you can in that amount of time - Central Park, Shopping, Pizza galore, Times Square, Empire State Building, Harold Square, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Station, Julliard, Street Fairs on the East End, Touring through the Upper West Side...needless to say, our feet were killing us! Funny story of the trip - Sarah and I had to leave our husbands in New York because our genius idea of taking the Subway to the airport backfired when we were enlightened that even Subway trains are effected by rush hour traffic. We arrived at the airport to find that we were too late to check-in to our flight - our only chance was to say farewell to the husbands and book it....Sarah and I cut in line at security and I didn't even put my shoes on to run to the terminal. We ran our guts out (of course our terminal was at the complete opposite end of the airport) and made it as they were closing the door. I sat in my seat on the plane and cried out of anxiety and stress and Sarah and I went home and saw our children and slept in our beds while our hubby's spent the night on the floor of JFK. Ha ha....
Okay....more catching up in the next post...
