Hi everyone! I didn’t mean to disappear from the blog for over a week but time just slipped away from me… oops! Things have been crazy around here with the baby and it’s just hard to find the time to do much of anything lately! We are also having some issues with photo resizing on my blog right now that’s driving me nuts. I’m just waiting for the designer to find a fix. I hate the options for image sizes so I always do custom sizes, but they aren’t taking for some reason, so my pictures throughout the blog are all messed up at the moment now… ugh! Anyway, moving on…
This winter has been a pretty brutal one in New York! I’ve been on maternity leave for most of it, so being cooped up inside with the crappy weather has been tough since I didn’t want to take a newborn out in single digit temps. Luckily, the temperature has been a bit warmer (I’m talking 30-40 degrees here…) in the last week or so, and we haven’t seen much new snow, though we are still staring at and climbing over old snow banks. Despite the ugly, dirt covered snow piles that we’re pretty sure will never melt, we’ve been able to take the baby out more and the hints of sunshine are really getting us excited for what’s to come. I even went on a walk outside last week which was fantastic, even though I had to walk in the street since the sidewalks are still covered. After this long, nasty winter, there are some things I’m really looking forward to doing this summer! I’ve never been a huge fan of super hot weather, but I’m really looking forward to this winter finally ending. Here are some of the things I’m dying to do once the weather turns:
- Walking around the neighborhood with the baby in his stroller.
- Finally running outside again and training for another half marathon… this time, hubby said he’ll run it with me! It’s going to be tough getting back into running shape, but I can’t wait!
- Going for Abbott's frozen custard down at the beach.
- Walking on the beach and pier where Jerry and I got engaged with him and the baby!
- Having fire pits and s'mores in the yard with family and friends.
- Taking Caleb to the zoo!
- Enjoying some Zweigles (delicious local hot dogs) on the grill since I was pregnant last summer and couldn’t have any!
- Driving around with the windows down.
- Opening the windows in the house and getting some fresh air.
- Going to some local festivals and maybe some outdoor concerts.
- Attending some baseball games. My dad’s the photographer for our local team and it’s always fun to sit outside, watch the game, and enjoy some delicious ball park food.
- Being the maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding in August and enjoying all the pre-wedding festivities too!
What things are you looking forward to doing this summer?
