Fall is in the air

Today was the first day that really felt like fall is on its way.  I actually have the windows open and the a/c off!
Jackson and I went to the 'tunnel' park this afternoon and he actually crawled all over the place and made a new friend.  He is soooo social!  I think he could make friends with a rock!
We had a great weekend, even with a lot of rain on Saturday.  I went to brunch with a fellow mom, and friend, Karen at Olea.  It was delicious.  We decided to make our way to Habana Outpost for an afternoon mojito after brunch.  It was a glorious day and I had hours to myself!!  Jackson and Anthony had some good quality 'dude' time and everyone was in one piece and happy when I got home.  So looking forward to next weekend...already!

Better late than never!

On Wednesday Jackson and I decided to try out the Clermont Pool...it was a hot day and I have been anxious to get him in a pool.  It was awesome!  You would have thought the kid had been in the pool every day of the summer.  He was very comfortable in the water and splashed his way to a wonderful 12 hour night sleep!!  We went back yesterday too even though it wasn't quite as warm out.  Today it is raining out so needless to say we are not going to the pool.  My friend, and fellow mom, Betsy talked me into trying it out.  She is also a fellow blogger, http://mommyftw.com.

First game

Last Sunday we took Jackson to his first baseball game!  Anthony and I LOVE baseball and thought a trip to the new Citifield would be a great experience for us.  He was a trooper and the ballpark is amazing!  It honestly reminds me of Safeco in many, many ways.  Love it!!

I am back.....

I am so, so sorry.  I didn't call, I didn't write, I didn't even give a reason for my extended departure.  Honestly, life was busy.  Not too busy, but busy.  And, that darn Facebook really sucked a lot of my time.  But not to worry, I am back!  And I plan to write about our daily adventures!
Jackson is a very busy 8 month old!  He has been crawling since July 4th and never looked back!  We have been very busy making new friends....for both Jackson and myself!  It has been nice to connect with other moms in the neighborhood.  Our nap schedules don't always jive, but we all make a very big effort to get the boys together and have some adult conversation.
This morning/after morning nap we took the bus to Bed-Stuy and took a tour of the YMCA there.  It is great!!  Jackson and I are going to join with our friends Karen, Eddie, and Tenzin (hopefully Carlos, Stace, and Mateo too)!!  I can't wait to start doing something for myself again.  Now that Jackson can play on his own or with other kids it will be a lot easier to leave him in the child care center at the Y and go work out!  We also have a goal of getting in their pool quite a bit. Gotta get ready for Mexico!!!
