It makes me laugh when people ask me where we are right now. Because sometimes I have to think about the answer. Today, we’re still in NYC. But in two more weeks we’ll be on our way back to the Sandbox. Friends tell me that the weather there has improved dramatically– it’s only 100 degrees.

Well, we made it over the ocean mostly unscathed. At one point during the flight Norah woke up crying and hungry and I looked at David and said, “I am going to fall over and pass out if I don’t get at least an hour of sleep.” He informed that I had, in fact, just [...]
