november is half way over?

what a crazy month it has been so far. i knew i was going to regret not posting all these adventures right away!! so here is a quick peek at what we have been up to since halloween. they are out of order! :( i promise to post better going forward! xoxo

this is in new york. does anyone recognize it? it is the house from the will smith movie "i am legend". we passed by it on our way to the path train. because i am uber-dork, i thought it was great fun that i had the dvd in my purse to mail back and i put in the mail box right across from the house! love it! i know....weird-o!

this is reagan's buddy ava from school. well, reagan insists on calling her eva. ava doesn't seem to mind. ava and her mommy (laurie) went to the magic show that our church had. magical silly willy delighted and amazed. so did the tattooes, face paint and balloons!

these are our friends crystal and john. we had a fabulous time on a beautiful day with them. church, lunch, zoo, amazing dinner (made by crystal)! an awesome time with awesome people! :)

ah! magical silly willy picked reagan as a special assistant. she was so excited and then got a little stage fright maybe? but she was super cute and had a lot of fun.

reagan and ava at mcdonalds. these two angels sat and ate lunch at their very own table and were sooo good!

crystal and i at martha stewart. the cheese show! fabulous! crystal is from manhattan and is an amazing tour guide of the city. so fun!

you may have seen me on tv...don't worry it hasn't changed me

one of my favoritest things that i have done since moving to the east coast is visit the martha stewart show. i have been lucky enough to go twice in the past 6 months. the first time was, of course, magical because it was my first time. although, there are only my memories and my pictures. but the second time i went i got to go with cousin jill. so much fun! for so many reasons! fun to be with family! fun to see yourself on tv!

oh martha!

i know, i know. i have already been to martha. but i love love love it. and this time i was lucky enough to go with jill (mike's cousin) who lives in the city. it was so nice to spend time with someone who knows "my people" and to get a hug from family.

we had great seats. but all i can think when i see this picture is i need to lose 20 pounds. i gain weight in my face before any place else.

this is in the waiting room.
after the show martha. she normally does a little Q & A but this show was running late. she didn't even get to the stationary making. oh martha!

on the way to the subway (jill, i could have taken the "1". now we know!) i saw this. how could i not take a picture. it was an ad campaign for bounty paper towels. only in nyc!
