Concert Bound

Hello Folks, Or just myself.. Whichever the case may be. I'm getting ready to go see Jack Johnson in concert. I am really looking forward to it.. so I hope it doesn't blow. HA HA. Anyway, I'll write more about it... after I see it. I am addicted to ...! As if you could not tell. I find something very comforting about it, as if it's building...... Excitement. The more .... dots the more exciting........ Don't ya think? Peace

Bugging BUGS

Hi.. tried going outside with Emily. But it's so HOT and HUMID and BUGGY outside that we only managed to be out about 1/2 hour. Oh it was awful and there were so many mosquito's that it was really not fun. Oh well, we tried. Emily got to climb on this jungle gym thing we bought--- which I wish we would have bought like 2 years earlier because I think she's already outgrown it. Plus, it seems like it's really helped her with "feet off the ground" fear she has. But I'm not really upset because we got it on clearance for like $25- Can u believe it! It's one of those dome things and she really likes it-- but like I said I think she may have already outgrown it. The bigger ones I see are wayyyy more expensive. Oh well... have a nice day.

Splendor in the Grass

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...



A line from the William Wordsworth's poem "Ode on Intimations of Immortality" which the title of my favorite movie comes from.

Mary Poppins... Practically Perfect in every way!!

Well yesterday we went to Broadway and saw "Mary Poppins". It was AWESOME... I would highly recommend it to everyone!! LOVED IT! I was crying at the end.. I don't know why I guess when the father realizes he needs to put his family first!! It was sweet, I couldn't help myself. Danielle cried too. We had a really nice day in New York and Madeline was sooo good. She really was and it was a LOOONNNGGG day. We left at 9 am and didn't get home until 10 pm. She's only 5--- so that was a really long day and also she is usually in bed by 8. I think she had a really nice time. We ate at the "Stardust diner". Which was really fun. They have singing waitresses. It was so much fun, while we were there the song from Little Mermaid was being sung by one of the waitresses-- and then by a 5 year old little girl who was a customer got up and was singing with the waitress-- she was SOOOO good! We could not believe it!! I really wished Emily could have been there, and I missed her so much. But I really don't think Emily was ready for it--- not just yet. She's getting so much better but I think it would have all been a little too much for her. SO I think it was best, but I still missed her sooo much. Well, maybe next time we can all go. Oh yeah, and our seats were incredible. ALthough like Danielle said-- It really seemed like all the seat would have been good. But we were so close we really got to see the performers faces and expressions. We'll probably never be that close again. The tickets were really expensive so I'm glad that we really loved it! Anyway, then we walked around a little and got a little lost ( well really just mixed up ) trying to find the subway to take us back to Penn station. We thought it was on 7th street and it turned out to be on 8th st. SO that is why we got back a little later. We were hoping to be home by 9 but we got home at 10 instead. It really was a great day, so it was well worth it! Ofcourse now we want to see Little Mermaid! We've really started something!
