Updates!

We love living in the 'burbs of NY!!

Did you know Chris saw a deer walking home from the train station the other day? It jumped right in front of him in the street!

We've had lot's of snow already! We have a steep driveway so the kids can sled right here at home.

Griffin turns 6 next month - I can't believe it! He's 'mr. social' and wants to invite 25 kids to the party - yikes!! We plan to have the "snake and lizard man" come to our house bringing lot's of those icky things. Erin S.... I'm sure you'll want to make the trip to NY for that one!

Macy is a hoot. She LOVES to sing and dance and wear 20 different outfits a day! She's SUCH a girly girl. She knows every single word to every Hanna Montana song.

We finally cleaned out our basement to make it into a pseudo playroom. There's a couch, tv, mini-tramp, arcade basketball game, art easel and kids table. Oh and also the washer/dryer, boiler, water heater and pipes galore! It's not pretty - but it's a fun little hide-out for the kids! I love having a basement!

Still going to our church in the City. The commute is so easy - especially on Sunday. It takes about 20 minutes. It's great b/c we usually spend the day there every Sunday visiting our old favorites!

Summer Camp! I had no idea it was such a HUGE thing! I guess maybe it's a "northern" thing but there is so much pressure to get into a good camp. I hadn't even considered it. I think we'll be just fine doing the pool everyday and maybe a VBS or two (I wish)! :)

Libbie loves it here! Back in the land of the trees.... it's been a long time (since we lived in Lakewood). She loves to chase the black squirrels and chipmunks.

We were sad not to get to go to Tulsa this year for Christmas but we made the best of it! We put up the 15 food (wt) Santa - which I'm sure the neighbors loved! We had a big Christmas party with friends from the City and new friends from the neighborhood.. and we even had live music! We also made the trip to see Santa at Macy's (it's worth the trip - even from TX or OK) and the fantastic lights on 5th Ave., and the tree at Rock Center! Christmas Season in NY is the best!
