NYC with Christine

Christine and I took a super fun sister trip to New York. This is from the High Line the first day. We also went to Chelsea Market and the shops in Soho.

We had great seats for Moulin Rouge! (It was maybe a little too close haha.) 

We met Titus after Moulin Rouge. He was in it.

We rented citi bikes in Brooklyn. We both brought the same sweatshirt on the trip so we decided to match.


Brooklyn Bridge!


A visit to the Met. Van Gogh is always my favorite.

We saw Sweeney Todd with Josh Groban and it was possibly the highlight of my life. Absolutely incredible.

Annaleigh Ashford was incredible too.

Max's 10th Birthday

We had an awesome party to celebrate our Maxy turning 10! (He doesn't like it when I call him that now.)


We went to Jack and Jills for bowling.




Came home and unwrapped presents (his love of squishmallows is going strong).





His big request was that we have a "very long 4 hour party," so we came home and watched "The Last Wish." 

The morning of Max's real birthday.

I think this was a new hat?

He's very into shoes these days and was excited to get new blazers.

Halloween 2023

We had a great Halloween! Davis was a ninja (every little boy has a year they're a ninja), Violet was Little Red Riding Hood, and Max was Vector from Despicable Me.

Violet's was so funny in the parade--she gets embarrassed and won't even look at us. 


Ready to trick or treat!

I decided to be a crazy neighbor lady this year and played music on the porch when people came to the door--either Halloween music or music that coordinated with people's costumes.

Andy went out with friends dressed as a monkey.

Carson and Davis got to trick or treat together!


Cute group of boys!

Big stash for Maxy.
