Bouncing with my boys

Dear NHL & JSL,

Today was a fantastic day. We were with a lot of family for cousin SG’s birthday party. This morning, they delivered a castle bounce house. The two of you were mesmerized. Many hours were spent in the bounce house and running/playing with everyone here. Of course, my memories will be when I spent time in the castle being silly with both of you and Daddy. Lots of great photos from there, but right now I am too tired to put them here. For now here is one of JSL dragging me out of the bouncer to go to the slide.

Thank you both for being silly, laughing, jumping and playing while making family memories with us today.

Love,

Mommy

Wandering NYC and better NY State license plates

On Friday, I wrote about the ugly new license plates in New York State. If you missed that post, you need to check out how far we came over my lifetime, only to go back 10-15 steps. Ugh!

While in NYC for BlogHer, TechyDad and I opted to walk around the streets by the Hilton for a little while. Please note, we were so close to everything it was amazing. We walked a block over to Broadway. First, we saw this:

P1310154

We opted not to have pizza there and continued to walk down. . .

Broadway in NYC Baby!

I drooled and wished that we had tickets to see this:

Want to see this SO bad

Sad to say, we did not get to see that or the following:

This Mama would have loved to see this

We kept walking down and saw marque after marque of plays we would not get to see along with other interesting signs. Then we went into the Hershey Store for a few minutes.

More sights along Broadway in NYC

There was a lot to see, but it was nothing like their home store in Hershey, PA.

Hershey Store NYC

Across the street was another chocolatey retail wonder. Here is the sign as it changed outside:

M&M NYC

We had to go inside to wander around the three stories to compare it to the Las Vegas store. Not quite as much, but my oh my a lot of M&M packed into one NYC store!

M&M items galore

While there, we saw the solution to the UGLY new New York State license plates. Here they are:

Should be our new plates

After this, we went back toward the Hilton and stopped by Ray’s Pizza for some slices to go. We wandered back around the corner to the Hilton and went back to the 31st floor to inhale, and relax before day 2 of BlogHer. 

REAL NY pizza time

More on BlogHer10 coming soon.

Greetings from BlogHer 2010

Just wanted to say hello to everyone from NYC. TechyDad and I have been here for BlogHer ’10 since Thursday. It has been a whirlwind of learning, networking, seeing/meeting friends, having fun and barely sleeping. There will be a lot to share in the coming weeks. For now, here is a photo of the two of us heading to the parties Saturday night.

Off to the Sparklecorn party

See you on the flip side after we venture home in our shiny red Chevy Tahoe Hybrid (amazing SUV) thanks to the Chevrolet Sponsored Carpool. Thank you again to Lisa G and the rest of the amazing people that made the adventure downstate possible.

P.S. A special thank you to my parents for making this amazing weekend possible. If they had not helped out with the boys this experience would not have been possible. THANK YOU to an amazing Nana and Papa who are so very loved by the boys and us.

Happy 00110011 00110101 B-Day TechyDad

Dear JL, 

Today is your birthday, and a special one at that. Not one with a zero at the end, but something more in the middle. I hope that you have an extra special geeky birthday. With any luck the end of your birthday week will be exciting and extra sparkly at BlogHer. I also figured you would get the message above. I went the extra distance here and went to a translator to figure out how to do it properly.

TechyDad and our boys

So now here is an acrostic poem that NHL and I wrote for you:

T akes us bowling and to other special places

E njoys time with his boys

C ooks us dinner every night

H as shared Ben Ten, Rug Rats, and Mythbusters with us

Y es, he makes us chocolate PB s’mores for treats

D eserves a magical vacation to Disney World soon

A lways puts our family first

D edicated geek in every way

Please know that the boys and I love you with all of our hearts. We miss you every day when you head to work, but cherish our family time with you when you get home. Thank you for being you, the man that I fell in love with at the outlets when we met, and continue to find more reasons to love each and every day we are together. I can not wait for our adventure together at BlogHer and beyond.

Love,

Your Angel Forever
