Baseball and Cupcakes

So I lost my little point-and-shoot camera for about 5 months and just found it again and I found these pictures on it to remind me of what summer and fall were like. Like, when we used to leave the house regularly and go and do fun things with friends and family. February is the longest month. It's nice to remember that there is life after winter.











We got great Mets tickets to the new stadium from Jared's firm. And there was a shake shack there. It was a great night even though I had only a vague idea about what was happening on the field.

Goodbye to the Smylies

We had a farewell party for the Smylies this Saturday. At the risk of making a complete understatement, I am going to miss Rebecca. Here are some pictures from the party:



We usually don't do group party shots, but one of the guests requested it and I am glad we did it.



Erica and I are due the exact same day (April 10) and Sunny (in the middle) is due in one month. Apparently, we all wore black thinking that it would be "slimming."



And why are the kids in the bath in the middle of a party you ask? Well, the little ones (Addy, Harper, and Lulu) had marched upstairs and into to girls' room all by themselves (I am sure this was Lulu's idea) and decided to take off their diapers and pull-ups and put on some princess pull-ups (again, Lulu's idea). One of them (identity concealed to protect the innocent) had some major poo in her pull-up and it got all over the girls and the room. That little girl's parents spent a while cleaning the room (it wasn't us, luckily) and then the girls all got in the bath. (addendum: before I realized where the poo was and the extent of the disaster, I knelt down to clean off the girls and landed in the pile.)





Lulu was asking for Addy today and I had to tell her that she was gone. It was so great that they had a few years to be friends (or at least ride side by side in strollers as their moms walked Central Park).
