No need for diamonds
Lisa Leonard has a website! I love her simple designs and have purchased a few gifts with her already. This is just to spread the word...

The advantage of two same-gendered siblings? MATCHING OUTFITS!
Can't. Wait.

I did. The best part though is that I had forgotten I wanted it. It was one of those things... where I thought I wish I could have this, no, I wish I could have the life that goes with this toy. (You know, free time, being by yourself, quiet times at the computer, keeping up with the rest of the world and such.)
Now I didn't get that life (thank God, that would've been scary), but turns out the Nano will play for desperate housewives, via a genius little JBL speaker thingy that confines the music to the kitchen (just like the housewife!). And so here I am, getting down all by myself or under Veronika's supervision ("Stop dancing, mama!!!"), just like my love intended.
Additional credits go to the in-law-parents and to the brother-in-law for the JBL. Thank you!

Despite our despair over the complete loss of fun time, Lincoln and I managed to get ourselves and the kids out of the house quite a lot this summer and fall. I am only slowly catching up with the photos and here are a few of one of my favorite trips. We spent a Saturday in August walking around Upper West Side in NYC, stopping at a few locations, where the movie "You've got mail" was filmed. I know it's very corny, but the movie has some sentimental value for us for obvious reasons and also because we got to watch it during the first week we spent together ever (in Vienna in 1999). When I think about that and the fact that 7 years later I am taking a stroll in New York City not just with Lincoln but two kids, I get so overwhelmed and confused with the incredible-ness of it all, that I can only do it a few seconds at a time, because, really, how crazy is that? There we are, four of us (!) basically because of a random online conversation.
Anyway, the movie is a lot of fun, and if you've seen it (especially multiple times like me) the photos will immediately remind you of some very romantic scenes.
