summer daze

Well, I've been slacking on the posts, but it doesn't mean we haven't been having a busy summer! The days are just flying by. Finishing out June, we had a day at the beach (as in, Rock, rock, Rockaway ...)
)

... Unfortunately we had to stay on the boardwalk the entire time, because the beach closed for a thunderstorm as soon as we got there!

July brought us a few visits with friends...


...and Taka got to meet his older "brother" Judah.


After our exciting 4th of July celebration (watching fireworks from our windows while trying to put Taka to bed...), Hisa headed to balmy Dubai for some 120 degree heat, while Taka and I headed north to Grandma's house. After an 11 hour drive (normally takes 6 hours, sans baby), Taka was happy to relax in beautiful green VT.


Now back in NYC (btw, any other moms out there ever feed their kids on the New York Thruway while stuck in traffic?), suddenly it's only 2 weeks until I'm back at work and Taka officially starts day care! The next adventure...
