I love New York!

Sarah and I enjoyed a fabulous evening out last night, compliments of Mamma and Papa Bear who looked after the cubs. We enjoyed diner on 9th and 45th at 5 Napkin Burger I think it was called with delicious spicy crab sushi roll and as we sat on the street soaking in the bustle of the city, who should roll up in a fance white open jeep? Noneother than P-diddy. That's right he stopped in front of us and waved to the crowd.

Then we headed out for a spectacular show at the New Amsterdam Theater which is gorgeous- "Marry Poppins" which was so impressive.

The Lead who played Bert was just phenominal. I couldn't believe that it more than lived up to the hype!

Lovin' New York

Living in New York

Ok at first we were mesmerized by the beauty of the green surrounding us. The richnes of unique character lingering in each building and bridge we passed. But now, truth be told, it's starting to feel like I'm in a whole different country. People really do have accents- honest to goodness- New Yo-kah accents. So it's a like a different language. They don't really speak unless spoken to and every male out here is named "Joey".

So basically we like it, but have a lot to get used to. The town we live in is very quaint. It has a cute little city center complete with clock tower in front of the train station where Daddy commutes from each day- just a five minute walk from our apartment. We have the ultimate compromise for New York, living in the suburbs and working in the city with a nice airconditioned 30 minute train ride to Time Square. We are slowly collecting furniture and unpacking while trying to meet new friends and adjust. The apartment we found is very conveniently located, has nice upgrades inside like granite countertips and stainless steel appliances and it reminds me a little of the building ithe characters from "How I met your Mother" live in with two retail spaces below us a restaurant/bar Pizza place.

We miss all of our friends and family though and want to hear all about life on the west coast.

2010 What is New...

Well we are officially having another boy! As you can tell... the David's are thrilled about the whole idea. Little David even wants to name him ... drum roll please... "David Jr. Jr." he hasn't figured everything out yet, but he likes his name and his daddy's name and wants to be the baby's "boss" so he figured that's a good place to start. I on the other hand would prefer a traditional family name. But I'm settling for anything that's not Korihor or Laman and Lemuel as David Sr. insists on telling my family he wants our child named one of the previous.



Latest accomplishments: Thanks to my awesome Christmas present, my new sewing machine, I have finished sewing my first project in 10 years. It is a car seat cover blanket for the new baby boy, thanks to Melissa Burnett's patience and help. Yea!



David Jr. is starting to learn to read simple words like hat, bat etc. and he's resolved to wearing normal clothes again (ie. he no longer insists on basketball jerseys and shorts in the freezing cold).



I have a week off of work yea and after watching Julie and Julia have been inspired to start keeping up with my blog. So here's to a better blog in 2010.
