ny weekend

did i mention that we made a trip to new york a few weekends ago? we managed to squeeze a visit in when it wasn't a torrential downpour of snow and/or ice. of course, the snow was already on the ground, so it was a winter wonderland. but we got in a visit with family and friends, which was great. and, despite our flight home being canceled, we managed to escape the northeast before the crazy ice came down.

i have a whole set of pictures on flickr, but here are some highlights:

we stayed on long island with melissa, tim, and ann so there was plenty of time to play and hang out.


ann's quite busy, but she sure is a cutie!


i can't remember a time when there's been this much snow on the ground!


who are these toys for anyway?


we got in a nice visit with americorps friend, elizabeth and her fiance, dan. we hadn't seen them since our wedding almost 8 years ago.


and, we got to hang out for an evening with the nyu crew. theresa even was able to make it in from massachusetts.

we had a great time (though i'm getting old because it took me like 3 days to recover from being out late)

the whole crew (minus my sister who had to take the picture because we couldn't figure out how to work the timer)
