New York City

Okay, I said I'd do this every day, and I already missed one. So here's a quick something from yesterday, and then I'll try to write more later. Well, we went to NYC yesterday. Merryn and I had a little trouble getting out of the house but finally made it and met JJ at the Marble Hill station near his school. Then we drove into the city and met Colleen, Michael and Danica, and Barb, Courtney, and Taylor Gargaloni and their friend Christina. Toy stores, candy stores, ice cream stores, and stops at Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch so the girls could take pictures with the shirtless male models. Woohoo!

It turned out to be a fun day. But I think JJ has always known, and I'm also starting to realize, that navigating big crowds, especially crowds of tourists, is not that much fun. But with good company, it's all good. And Merryn continues to amaze me with her lovely little Merryn-spirit. Despite barely napping, she was curious and smiling all day, watching the busy world around her. I love how she sits forward in her stroller, holding the safety bar and looking all around. My little fearless girl...she wasn't intimated by New York City, or the ocean, or the staircase, or much of anything that I can see so far.
