FROM THE AROUND-HERE-LATELY DEPARTMENT

a lot of photos of absolutely nothing at all are coming at you right now because that's what it is, kids. 

up first, big bird in central park. and sargent huck, reporting for playground duty! i took these photos on the first warm day of the entire year (shorts! my baby in shorts!) and i swear the sunshine was powerful enough that day to turn my solar power back on. 

my step bounced! 

since then the weather been acting all confused and disoriented. mother nature, should we be worried about you? have you had a stroke? it is june outside and today i needed a sweater. 

side note: too many of our good friends are moving out of the city these days and it's really got to stop. 

so let's talk about huck. 

these days with huck are the greatest, two has been the most fun. he's on a major pirate kick, always on the lookout for enemy ships. also he is singing. all. day. long. he's got a quick brain for song lyrics and lately we've been doing a lot of singing as we stroll down the sidewalk. we get funny looks. he makes even the hardest new yorkers smile. every night when i'm putting him to bed he says, "snuggle?" which is huck for "i'd like to put my arm down your shirt while i fall asleep, please." 

i let him because you are only two once.

p.s. five dogs in that stroller. f-i-v-e.

the hat guy is out! i love that hat guy but he is too pricey.

a note on the pink wedges as if anyone cares: i've only taken them out once, they were a gift and i love them, but to wear them you have to bend entire laws of physics. i DID feel like an amazon warrior woman the entire time i had them on.

okay so more huck now. huck is big into having his daddy sing "god bless america" while holding this little american flag, which huck runs through over and over like a bull. i don't know. the way he informs brandon that he'd like to play it is by shouting, "BLESS A ERICA?" 

we had roberta's pizza at madison square eats a couple of weeks ago and it has been haunting me ever since. OH MAH GOSH. i just want it written here for time and all eternity that roberta's is the best pizza in the city. and so it is written.

this was a LONG time ago, but while we're on the subject: we finally went to georgetown cupcake in soho and they are better than, like, all of the cupcakes. look at this! best pizza and best cupcake in one post, this is turning into such a serviceable blog, who'd have seen that one coming?

okay the end.
