Our new place

Last week we signed the deal on our new place. Ken and Eryn Klingler are moving to Dallas, we are sad to see them go. But they have a great apartment in Greenwich that they gave us the heads up on. It is the second story of a family home. Its in a nice, quiet, Italian neighborhood and its just down the street from the elementary school. The school is still under construction but it will be finished in January.

Tasha also starts kindertgarten this week. She goes for a couple of hours on Thursday, just for an orientation, and then a full day on Friday. After that marathon she will be all worn out and will have her first holiday break for Labor Day. Rob is taking Friday and Monday off, we will see if we have any fun, or just start packing for the move.

Tasha's Birthday 2007

Tasha had her birthday party a couple of weeks ago. We were waiting for her friend Victoria to get back from Japan so everyone could come. It was really fun. The kids did all kinds of fun things. Just look.

First we made flower leis for everyone to wear.

Then we had a potato sack race, fun to do and fun to watch.

Then we did the limbo, some of the kids got really low. Lexi was great at this.

Our lovely limbo girls.

Then we had a relay race where the kids dressed up in Hawaiian tourist clothes and ran an obstacle course.

They raced on two teams.

Then it was time for lots of cupcakes and icecream. Look at Garrett go.

Later at home Tasha opened her presents. I think Garrett was even more excited than Tasha.

Tasha got some headbands from Lexi and the kids knew exactly what to do with them.

A quick pic

Here is a picture of Garrett at the pool. He wasn't crazy about the goggles.

It's a Boy!!!!!

We are so excited to announce our new baby boy. While he won't arrive in the mail for another few months (estimated arrival: January 10th, subject to change) we are really excited for him. Tasha was really set on a baby sister so when we told her it will be a boy she was really upset. She said, "No mom, I said a baby SISTER." Its a good lesson in "we don't always get what we want." I told her we'll have to see what happens next time, and Steph said "Next time?" Its way too early to talk about next time, we haven't even had this time yet.

I'm in Washington DC this weekend at a training. Its with the American Society of Appraisers so pretty soon I can tell you all about how to value a business, if you ever need to know.

I can blog on my Blackberry

This is so cool. I just found out that I can blog on my Blackberry. Now I can tell you what its like to ride the train or give you a running commentary on our lives. You will know that I am using the Blackberry because the spelling will be all crazy. We had fun at the New York Hall of Science yesterday. They had some really fun stuff and the kids had fun playing. They got to drive a dragster, play with light and sound, see some microbes, and they loved the Gatorade at lunch.

Summer Fun at the Zoo

Here are some pictures of the kids at the Bronx Zoo. We went with Monica, Dominick, and Kambree. Tasha and Garrett get along great with Dominick and Kambree. Monica even puts up with Steph.
