Jersey!

Well we've been in Jersey for over a month now and figured it was finally time to post. We are pretty much all settled in minus some picture hanging and organizing (which really goes on forever). T-man is enjoying his new job and role working in Employee Relations, he comes home with some great stories! He is also enjoying the time he has to read during his commute.

Things we've done lately:
We've had a few visitors (cousins E and R, and currently Uncle N) which has made it really fun. We have taken a few trips in the city to play and when we had cousins here to sight see. We visited the Jersey shore a couple of weekends ago. I've enjoyed some play dates. We are loving having a yard to run around in the kids love the freedom. Although it is not fenced we live in between two dead end streets so it makes it really quiet and pretty safe. We haven't had a yard to play in for a while so it's fun having lots of neighbor kids around.


Peach picking

My friend Jamie and I took the kids to a near by farm. It was a little warm that day and we ended up going to get icees after.

Girls night out in NYC, we enjoyed a delectable frozen hot chocolate and some yummy sandwiches at Serendipity. There were three others not in this pic that were there. You ladies are so fun!Dum Dum at the Natural History MuseumEnjoying our cousin visit at the Belvedere Castle.Enjoying the yard!Washington Rock, an outpost in which General Washington observed New York.Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey. There is a monkey back there somewhere. Not sure if the scaffolding is part of the exhibit or if the monkeys are doing some remodeling.Welcome to 31B our half of the duplexFront lawnThe side of the house

Our side lawn, further to the right we think might be the home of a skunk (we've had three sightings so far)
