Me in Washington Square Park



Jennifer and the Bob she hauled all around NYC Transit!

well, its been over a month, but i wanted to share about my NYC trip to see Jen and Ryan. I wanted to take Eula up to see Jen while she was still very portable.This girl lives in a sling- and she loves it. i could write a whole blog on babywearing. moms love it, babies love it. At the time of the NY trip, she was getting a little big for the New Native, but My friend Marisa gave me a sling based on the Moby wrap and it was perfect for all the walking we did! Jennifer went though so much to get me this perfect BOB stroller that i thought Eula would sleep in and she wouldnt! so we would bring the stroller to put her in while she was awake and then when it was time to sleep, one of us would wear her. She would sleep for about 2-3 hours at a time on one of us!

I love going to New York to see Jen and Ryan. They have the cutest apartment at the bottom of a brownstone on the most beautiful street (that i have no pictures of). It is your typical Brooklyn street (FYI: Keri Russell lives across the street and Michelle Williams and Matilda live around the block) in Boerum Hill. After visiting them, if we suddenly became a big city dweller, i would insist on Brooklyn. Its has so much of the charm that we love about Decatur. parks, wonderful restaurants, family oriented. I love the subway system and that is a short ride into Manhattan. But then when you leave Manhattan, you truly feel like youre coming home to Brooklyn. They have made a wonderful home there. They are also great chefs. We made pizza one night.


and the pups snoozed

We mainly walked around Brooklyn and Manhattan and i was also able to see our friend Perry and Cruz and then also Rebecca and Logan. Logan is about 6 weeks younger than Eula. Rebecca took some amazing photos of Eula that will probably be Christmas presents for everyone ;)

One of the highlights was going to the Brooklyn Flea. Jen says its hands down her favorite place in Brooklyn. Every Saturday vendors open shop on a school play yard and the goods are incredible. Vintage clothing, kids clothing, food, furniture. Everything is local and mostly handmade. I even saw Home Brewed Beer. And this lady with the pig leg... we had some and it was good!

  1. I loved having you here! You two were the easiest houseguests ever - you, because you like to do the same things I like to do, and Eula, because she doesn't have a choice!
