Swoon & Sigh

It is a testament to the current pace of our lives that I am only posting today about our weekend. We have a LOT going on.. trying to sell our current apartment, buying a new house, and buying a new (to us) car for the first time in at least 10 years. Don't get me wrong- these are all GOOD problems. Wonderful problems. It's just a lot all at once. Plus, we have a certain little someone who has her own agenda. Mostly that involves crawling around, under, over and into everything. Then she'll pull herself up and start squealing. Thank goodness for the comic relief! Anyway... we had a nice break this past Saturday from all of the stuff that's going on. My mom had come into town for the weekend and the 4 of us drove up to Stone Barns in Tarrytown, NY. It's an unbelievably beautiful place. We had a snack in the delicious cafe (someday, I'd love to eat at the restaurant), and wandered around the grounds. We saw turkeys and lambs and about 40 three week old piglets. They were adorable! Veda enjoyed all of the real life versions of her favorite animals from books that we read. Hopefully we can find a way to sneak in more days like that no matter how crazy our lives get during the next few months...
