Promptly after Christmas break was over and the girls were back in school, Spencer and I were in a mad house to pack up our entire house because we BOUGHT A HOUSE in town!! We are so excited for this new adventure and can't wait to be in our own house and space. We love the house so much and feel really lucky and blessed to call it ours. We moved in January 7th and had lots of help it was incredible. So many friends came over to help and support and put tougher beds and bring pizza and unpack. It all worked out great! Then the whole next week I had people stop by to bring dinner and dessert and help unpack or watch kids so that I could unpack in peace. It was really nice to have so much help. We also had some special Brooklyn friends stop by and help for a day. Raquel and Nathan and their two cute boys came up and it was so good to see them. I guess they needed to get out of the city for the day and we got to show them around New Canaan a bit. I would love if they moved here too! It would be fun to have some Brooklyn friends move here!!
I had a unique 30 minute time where I dropped Lenny off at preschool and Jonny was napping so I took the older girls to Mead Pond and we ice skated in our shoes. I guess it doesn't freeze over every year but this year it did and so we took advantage and ice skate for about 30 minutes. Its was a fun and spontaneous thing to do and I think they loved that it was just the two of them. We also had a HUGE snowstorm one day and so in the middle of it all we took the jeep out to the Parker's neighborhood and hooked the sleds on the back and Spencer drove the kids around on the sleds. Even the moms got in on the action. Its was really fun and cold and windy but mostly fun. But then a police man came over and told us that a few people had called 9-1-1 on us and he told us it was illegal to pull someone from behind the car and that we had to stop. Luckily at this point we had already got an hour worth of sledding in so we felt fulfilled :) It was a fun time!!
