NYC

With all of the posts on Instagram last week, I thought I'd be brief on the blog. How would I describe our trip to New York? One word: Stuffed. We stuffed as much into each day as possible, we walked 8-9 miles a day, and we ended each day with aching feet and sore backs. Truly. We stuffed ourselves with food too - all of that walking required some serious calories. Like a Levain cookie, or a Shake Shack burger (or two) and some Magnolia Banana Pudding (the largest size). A special THANK YOU to my incredible Mother-in-Law who took impeccable care of our boys. We didn't worry about them once. We did, however, worry about her -they're kind of crazy. 5 days was a long time and at the end of it all we were willing the plane to get home faster so we could hug and squeeze them. 

I'm really grateful for the perspective that being away from my children brought me. Prior to the trip I had been so bogged down with the daily, repetitive tasks of motherhood that I wasn't enjoying myself. After a short little break I am back, recommitted, and excited about each day. I missed my little guys so much. 

I wish we had taken more photos - I'm a terrible photographer to begin with and the few I took do not do the city justice. Of all my failed attempts, this one turned out half decent and Terry looks awesome. New York!
