Spring Break Crew

On Monday we drove to Newport to spend the day with Ida and the kids. It was Alison's birthday so we celebrated with a nice lunch at the Lighthouse Cafe. After, we took the kids to the park to play. Ross surprised the family by coming down for the night too! 

Potty Training 101

Buster was potty trained awhile ago. However - he refused to go poop in the toilet. He would let me know when he had to go and request a diaper.  I didn't want to put any pressure on him and figured with a little encouragement - it wouldn't take long. Cut to over a year later and he was still going in a diaper. I'm happy to report that for over a week he's been going on the toilet! Granted - I had to get him a toy for every day that he went. Whatever works, right!?!?!!?

Lennox's Birthday Party!

Last Saturday my friend Glenda asked me to take some photos at Lennox's 4th Birthday party. First off - the party was amazing. It was a circus theme and there were so many carnival attractions. Glenda definitely knows how to throw a party! In any case - here are a few photos that I took. I had a lot of great ones of other kids....but figured their parents may not appreciate me posting their pictures on the blog.

New York, New York

In one word - New York was: AMAZING. I normally bring my camera everywhere and take a gazillion photos. This time - I just wanted to enjoy my time in the city without having to worry about getting the perfect shot. I took the red eye last Tuesday and got upgraded to first class FOR FREE. It was the very best way to start the trip. My hotel was small but adorable with a really cool vibe. They had something fun to do every night! I saw one of my favorite musicians (TWICE)  and got together with old friends. I walked around the city a ton. I slept in every  single day and didn't have a crazy itinerary to stick to. I went and saw Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway (it was EXTRAORDINARY) and ate a ton of delicious food. I even went dancing with a friend at a gay bar until 2am!
