So it has been over a year, I've had a baby, started a small business, and not posted. I guess I'm in a blogging mood. Maybe this is my replacement for journaling.

My major excitement right now centers on our need to move at the end of this month. Apartment searching in New York City is an absolute pain but I think we have found a place. We are trading in our tiny one bedroom in a 4th floor walk up in the hip Hell's Kitchen neighborhood for a large two bedroom in the once scary, now being gentrified Harlem--or SoHa is what they are calling our neighborhood (South Harlem). Our application is in but the lease hasn't been signed yet. I've very excited about it! It is in an elevator building too! Here are some photos.

This summer I began my own business teaching science to children. I love it! I create classes where there are tons of hands-on experiments and projects to help kids to learn about the world around them. Check out my website:

NY Mets vs. Chicago Cubs in Shea Stadium--We totally scored with these field seats! 

Our first visit to New Hampshire to see Angela, Jon & wonderful little Sabrina. 

A perfect fit! 

A happy day for Brian...the grand opening of the new Apple store on Fifth Ave. 

Now that's a BIG python! Snakes & Lizard's exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History. 

Brian finishing the Corporate Challenge race in Central Park. 

I think our little girl may come out as a sweet, juicy blueberry. I ate so many! 

Angela and me with the delicious fruits of our labor. 

On the 4th of July we ventured to the overly crowded Coney Island. Despite the horrid, humid heat we had fun and rode the oldest ferris wheel: The Wonder Wheel. 

4th of July in New York City. The fireworks were spectacular. 

This was an early morning walk I took on the Bridal Path in Central Park. I love the bridges! 

I had a lot of fun rowing the boat. 

It was such a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Central Park we decided to take a boat out on the lake.
