Can you believe it's been a year?

Remember this picture? A year ago today (November 15) we moved into our apartment in NYC. I can't believe we actually crammed so much stuff into this tiny apartment. The shocker is - we've grown to love this small space! There are many things we love and miss about Texas - but we're having so much fun on this adventure we've decided to stay another year. In one year - we've experienced more than we could have ever imagined. We've made wonderful friends, found an amazing church, seen more Broadway shows than most people see in a lifetime. Not to mention all of our trips to the beautiful places surrounding the City. Our kids have adapted so well - they are having a ball. We're all happy and enjoying every minute of it. Here's to another year in 'The Big Apple'!

Derek James

We're big fans of Derek James. We saw him Saturday night at The Bitter End. Check him out on itunes and derekjamesmusic.com.

Halloween in New York!

When Griffin got home from trick-or-treating he said.... "Mommy - I thought we were supposed to trick-or-treat outside". It was a new experience for all of us - but we enjoyed it. We had several Halloween events to attend. Octoberfest at PS158, Griff's class party, and of course, trick-or-treating. The kids each had two costumes and mixed it up at each party. Mommy and Daddy even dressed up for Octoberfest. Griffin loved dressing up like daddy - a Penn football player. The crowd favorite however was DONALD TRUMP!
