    I guess that Swine Flu is, like, a real thing now. At least the WHO has kicked the warnings up a notch, and there are people that we know of, who are infected by it. As a result, Reagan’s friend who flew all of the way out here from California, was only able to meet…

    This weekend was full of inanities and insanities, as usual. Two of Reagan’s good friends from high school came to visit, beginning Thursday. One of them became very ill on Friday and headed home to DC. Reagan’s not-sick friend hung out with us until Saturday afternoon. Friday night, Reagan and Terrah (Reagan’s not-sick friend) came…

    I opted out of the the 5k, this morning, so that I would have plenty of energy for the longboard race, in Central Park. Dude-ahhh, it was bananas. Around 100 people showed. It was super chaotic and fun. We started in the south west corner of the park and did one loop on Central Park…

    And of course I was there to document it. She bought this peg board for our hall from Ebay. She thought the old shelf with the hooks wasn’t cutting it, or wanted to paint, or [insert 1000 other excuses]. Anyway, it is so cute to watch her work. She is a good sport about ignoring…

    This weekend ended up being a lot better than I had initially anticipated. There was, of course the race on Saturday morning, which I was expecting to be the highlight of my weekend. I thought this because I was expecting to have to work, for the rest of the weekend. I did spend Saturday afternoon,…

    We had such a great weekend with Piper’s Baker grandparents in town. It was tough to send them off today. I’m not sure if Piper is going to like Reagan or me as much, unless one of us gets some glasses for Piper to mess with, while we are holding her. We had a really…

    Reagan put together a pretty sweet party today, so that Piper’s friends could come celebrate her birthday with her. It really turned out great. I didn’t take nearly as many as photos as I should have. We have such an awesome group of friends, who were willing to spend such a nice Saturday driving up…

    We went for a little stroll in Ft. Tryon last night, so that Reagan’s parent’s could check it out. We were heading to the lower terrace to check out the arches, and heard some hippies playing drums. Those hippies turned out to be our friends (who aren’t really hippies), hahahahaha. So we ended up hanging…

    We got Piper all moved in back at Blythedale and everything, today. I’m feeling pretty good about the way this week is coming to an end. Reagan had a girls night tonight, with one of our friends who is moving away. It gave me a chance to get out and skate a bit. It was…

    Warning: this post contains some negativity. Reagan and I have been trying to maintain a positive outlook regarding Piper’s new home. Of course it is always going to be an adjustment, going to a new place. There is new staff to meet, new procedure, idiosyncrasies etc.. It has been about a month now, and Piper…
