crumbs is another delicious bakery in NYC.

me, elle, lauren and amanda.(elle had a HORRIBLE eye infection which is why she looks so sad)
what would i do without sharla in this city??tuesday: sharla, me and the girls went to our ward's playgroup and quickly decided that the park we went to was too 'big kid' for our little ones even though they were having a great time. afterwards we left, we decided to make a trip to levain and get the kids a treat and then have a picnic in the park. it POURED down rain on us and i used my body to shelter elle in her stroller. it was kind of funny actually. we were in the middle of central park and our only shelter was a big tree...so we parked underneath the tree. i think i found the one spot under the tree that let every drop of rain break through.
best friends, kendra and elle (this is elle's 'cheese' face)wednesday: sharla and i realized we were in desperate need of some wall flowers from bath and body works. the closest one was on the east side. if you are familiar with nyc, the transit across central park from the west to the east is limited to say the least, so we decided to walk. after our trip to b&b (which is in the famed upper east side) we went to central park (east side) in the true land of nannies to have a picnic. we saw a group of families having a party to celebrate preschool being over for the summer and i am not exaggerating when i say i think i was watching a ralph lauren photo shoot. the kids were absolutely darling wearing their khaki shorts with a belt on and their little button up polos with the sleeves rolled up and the little girls in their smocked dresses with giant bows...not to mention the mom's were dressed to the nines. i would have taken a picture, but that might have been a little awkward. after all, we both look like nannies with our kids.

this building is being renovated and just thought was too beautiful not to take a picture of.thursday: elle had a 104 fever last night and was feeling horrible! it is pretty chilly right now, which is very unusual for this time of year so i took her on a walk in riverside park in shorts and a t-shirt, when most people have jeans and jackets on, hoping it would cool her down. even though she wasn't feeling well she was still being a happy little girl. i spent a majority of today searching and calling doctor's offices trying to get elle in for an appointment. her right ear (which had a tube put in it) was draining so i knew she had an ear infection and needed an antibiotic. finally i had to take her to the emergency room at mt. sinai hospital because NO DOCTOR'S would see us, even as a cash paying patient! insurance can be such a pain sometimes! that little trip to the er to get a shot is going to cost a pretty penny.
this is riverside park, the beautiful park we look at from our windowfriday: elle was feeling a little bit better so we decided to go eat lunch with mathew. again, it poured on us so when we finally met up we looked like wet dogs! that evening we did take out with the lovell's and got pizza from Coronet's and seriously each slice is the size of elle! two slices fit into a LARGE pizza box!
mathew didn't tell me, but i had mascara running down my face which i am sure looked lovely.
the piece of pizza that has the tip cut off is just to show the size of a NORMAL slice of pizza.
elle and the girls were having fun talking to hand puppetssaturday: the allred's came in town this weekend so we were able to go hang out with them! we went to the museum of natural history and then met the strikes, amanda and mark in central park to enjoy a Shake Shack burger.
elle is really big into giving 'high-fives'
us and the allred's.sunday: we had almost everyone (except carrie) over from mathew's team the first semester for dinner. it was so great to see everyone and hear about their time in the city!
**this is the picture from last week that I mentioned a friendly passer-by took for us in central park...elle loves dogs and either makes a dog sound or says 'dog' every time we pass a dog.

cute, cute, cute!! I love all of the details. I am so terrible about journaling. Good job friend.
It sounds like you guys are having such a great time together! How awesome that you have Sharla there. So sad about Elle's ear infection. The poor kid. She does seem pretty good natured for being sick in some of those pictures! Can you believe it's going so fast? Before you know it, we'll all be back at the good old Huntington!
Oh yeah, I forgot to say, that I was freaked out for a second that you had cut your hair super short in that pic with your friend from Boston because you had it all beind your shoulders. I looks cute either way, though.
Little Elle-bell has changed so much...cutest little blondie ever! I seriously thought you chopped your hair in one of the pics. Jeffrey just applyed to NYU dental school...we are excited to see if he gets in. Love your posts...keep em coming!
that is the cutest pic of elle with the dog! love to see you're having so much fun in the city! what an exciting place to spend the summer.
