XXVII

Taylor took the day off Monday, and my friend Katie watched our kids ALL day long. We were able to go into the city and enjoy Manhattan without kids and without time restrictions. We had a few missions in mind. 1. We wanted to check out the small boutiques in SOHO and Greenwich Village 2. Eat some good food 3. Have a celebrity sighting 4. Ice skate





Washington Square


We looked for Theo Huxtable. No Luck







Rice to Riches rice pudding bar. We had the

coconut coma and sex drugs and rocky road.







Proud to say I didn't fall once!

We had a celebrity sighting. Well, for me not really
because I had never seen him before but this is
Mark Schlereth. Apparently he's a super bowl winning
ex NFL player and an ESPN commentator. He was there
with wife and two daughters and they had a camera
crew with them. They are filming a reality show on Lifetime
"Meet the Schlereths". Kind of cool for Taylor.



We got all our missions accomplished. I also think I saw this
GIRL but I didn't even know her name so I didn't bother taking a
picture of her. It was a good day.
Now here are a few things I learned
while 26:

You're never too old to learn the Primary songs

Accepting that laundry is never ending is liberating (confirmed from last year)

I might possibly achieve making beans as good as my mom

I don't really like the cold weather, at all

My kids teach me more than I realize

The Church is true (re-confirmed from the year before)

Spoonful of sugar will make the medicine go down

You can still have a good attitude regardless of the trials you are facing

WD-40 takes crayon off the wall

Good friends are hard to come by

A diaper going through the washing machine makes a big mess

Home is where my 3 boys are

What a day! I'm so glad you guys are taking advantage of all there is to do while living in New York. I'll sample your beans anytime and let you know how they compare! Happy Birthday!!

Happy Belated!!! Looks like a fabulous day. Your boys are so cute. We are excited to see you in a few days....happy driving!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: those beans are amazing, and if your Mom's beans are better, I can't understand how. Truly, you have to teach me, so that I can wow Noah. He's starting to get a little snobby.

Also, Susie, why did you wash that diaper? It's a common misconception that they are washable. I think it's just the cloth that are. Anyhoooooo, I've learned quite a lot from your 26th year. Namely: that life is enjoyed more fully while laughing, that Jasper looks weird (i know that happened when you were 27, but I couldn't resist), and that it's nice to have someone to count points with. Or lament about not counting points with. Anyway, you get the point.

Happy Birthday, Susan, the Belmont Ward really misses you, especially my Mom & I. I am glad I can read your blog and keep up with you guys. You seem to be really loving NYC, I have only been there a couple of times and I really loved it. Your boys are sure adorable and getting big just like mine. Bryson just turned 2 and is talking. Take care and have a wonderful Holiday season, Love, Crystal
