i am spotting a lot of black and white stripes in our life. stripes in our clothing, accessories, when we go south of the border, at our doorstep, in the kids’ toys, in our crafts. more than ever before. we’ve always been fans of stripes, but this past year the trend has erupted!
especially with miss five. she is the queen of stripes. she made herself that flag just this last weekend.

friends! how was your weekend? we returned home late last night and have jumped right back into our regular routine here in boston. our kiddos had a great winter vacation in utah – we packed every minute with play dates, our favorite food, and activities. they were sad to leave so i’ve got to keep reminding them in the next few days about what is great about living in boston! homesickness does not look good on little ones.
i’ve been so excited to share with you the highlights, photos, and videos of last weeks {utah} blogger meet ‘n greet. for me, the best part was seeing this event i’d worked on with shelby come together so beautifully.

last weekend husbands niece lexi & her husband + two adorable little girls came to visit us for four days! we had a blast cruising around the city, and just hanging out at home with them.

husband some of us, may never grow up.
have you ever tried candlepin bowling?
even heard of it?

our recent trip to nyc inspired this post, here’s why:
in august of 2006, i was eight months pregnant with sela. husband and i wanted to do something special with our big girls before the new baby arrived so we found a sitter for kj and took them to nyc.
one morning we were having a quick bite to eat at jamba juice in times square,
and i snapped this picture:
{look how little my girlies were!}
two weeks ago, we revisited this same spot so we could re-shoot the same picture:
{moosey was not in the best smiling-mood.

more pictures from our nyc trip.
we spent Dec. 30th – January 1st in nyc. this was our first time to drive there from boston & we are totally hooked. from our front door to our hotel, it was 3 hours. + the most beautiful drive through connecticut. the best part of this trip: it was the first time for kj & sela to see the big apple! so, we did as many of the kid-friendly-must-see sights as possible in three days!
the only downer: husband rear-ended a guy five minutes after we pulled into the city. then, when we parked in little italy to have lunch at one of our favorite pizza stops,
