That first full week of school is a doozy! <br /><br />Amy ~ It's a date! Even if it takes months or a year or more, I will take you to NYC. <br /><br />Kimberly ~ We try to take advantage of all the museums and culture that living so close to one of the world's greatest cities brings, but we probably still take it all for granted and don't go in often enough.<br /><br />Tracy ~ I only made it into the city three times over the summer and to the beach only once! But we try to make the best of our outings and always take lots of pictures! <br /><br />Thanks for the kudos on the bike riding. Since I made this post, I've done a 32.4 mile ride one day (mostly flat) and just yesterday we did a 22 mile ride that was rolling hills. It's a lot of fun, but also exhausting. <br /><br />I can't believe we start the second week of school tomorrow. It feels like we've been in session for a month already the way the crazy-busy life started immediately! LOL <br /><br />I hope your girls are off to a great start to their school year, too! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-23422389516488142962009-09-15T14:46:07.768-04:002009-09-15T14:46:07.768-04:00Wow you all were busy this summer.

That is so wonderful. I've never been a big bike rider so I'm incredibly impressed by your endurance.<br /><br />Congrats to your oldest for her Volleyball team making and of course to your youngest for her tv show watching! ;) I love that your youngest is reading so much and is making up her own stories. You've got an author in the making.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your summer.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-54975575074837070072009-09-14T21:36:53.891-04:002009-09-14T21:36:53.891-04:00Hi Christine - It's been way too long since I&...Hi Christine - It's been way too long since I've been to any museum and you've reminded me how much I miss the city!

It's always good to spread the "work" so no one person is overwhelmed. Especially for volunteer work! <br /><br />Christina: Hi! I'm sure you were NOT a couch potato with a kiddo to take care of. If you did spend hours on the couch, I'm sure you were very busy holding Alana while she slept and engaging her every moment she was awake. I swear if you watch carefully enough, you can actually see them grow! <br /><br />I love the bike. It is a lot of fun. <br /><br />orannia: Cheeky!!!!

Just reading and spending time with the kiddo. <br /><br />I've been wanting to get a bike as I think that's the perfect way to exercise and have fun.

But I swear, I've spent more time on the phone in the last month than I did in the previous 2 years.<br /><br />And I had forgotten about the whale in the cafeteria! Thanks for that reminder.

Delegate everything... It's your only hope. <br /> <br />Ha! You're so right about Dinosaur Hall feeling so much bigger when we were kids. Same goes for the great blue whale in Ocean Hall. Do you remember when the cafeteria was right under the whale? I think I ate looking up the whole time.

Funny how the dinosaur hall was so much bigger when I was 8 years old, LOL!<br /><br />I blogged my vacation. Seems like that was 2 years ago, not 2 months ago.

I had fun putting it together. <br /><br />Thanks, too, for being on standby today to help me with the HTML for that third column. I was so excited when I got it to work! <br /><br />Hilcia: We've been to Central Park in the winter to skate, but there wasn't snow on the ground at the time. I'd love to go take photographs in the park in the winter. Maybe I'll have to try to do that this winter. <br /><br />I hope you find some time to rest and relax in the fall. That sounds nice. <br /><br />azteclady: Thank you!!! I must have experimented with several dozen different backgrounds today. I liked so many of them, but when I tried this one, it was an "ahhhh... that's it." moment. <br /><br />I'm glad you like my personal posts.
