It’s funny how sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
That’s how I feel about a lot of things we left behind in NYC when we moved down to Maryland last November. Although we were most recently living across the Hudson in the relatively quieter town of Hoboken, I, like a typical New Yorker, still begrudged the jam-packed subways, the tourist traps. I was happy to finally retrieve my personal space, to cross a street without the fear of being mowed down by a yellow cab.
The Empire State Building Run-Up is a race I've always wanted to do. And last night I got a little bit closer to it - not as a participant, but as support crew and photographer for Sarah. She participated in the race for fun and for research for an upcoming story on stair climbing races...and she managed to finish second in the media division.
Going For It
You know those big, big goals…the kind you’re afraid to share or even say out loud because they’re such a stretch that you aren’t even sure you’ll come anywhere close to making them happen?

We think she's on the verge of walking, but we've been saying that for a few weeks, so who knows! Other than that, she has a few tricks like making a funny face, pointing to things, and best of all, hugging on demand. Seriously. I'm not sure where she picked it up, certainly not from me (worst hugger ever), but it is the cutest thing in the world.

Sarah's 5 Tips for Winter Baby Jogging
Just one look at this week’s forecast makes me shiver in my Shearling boots: With a high of only 38 degrees today, I’m accepting the fact that winter is here to stay. Which means no longer can you just dash outside in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Now, the outfit has to be constructed of layers on top and bottom, hats, gloves, neck warmers, arm warmers...
