kids coming and going, lunches made and eaten, a frenzy of blow up mattresses and pillowcases. the kids are well occupied while jane and i continue on our way ... the weekend arrives with a lovely shabbat dinner at friends and a bit of calm interspersed with lively political discourse!
jane is feeling well although i can see the whole process has taken it's toll. today she is on call, and must go into the hospital early to check on the patients. i opt to wake the kids nice and early - getting tired of seeing them in their pj's all day - and we zip into the city. we have breakfast at le pain quotidien on madison, hit gagosian gallery, the biennale at the whitney, and head downtown for a late lunch at danny meyer's shake shack (a real hit with the kids, dining al fresco!). jane has a chance to relax and chill in the afternoon in our absence - a good rest.
this evening we prepare for tomorrow - amanda and josh, the cousins, will be here tomorrow! everyone's looking forward to seeing the gang, and we have a brunch at bat mitzvah to enjoy ... action packed, so nice to have taken it easy on this 'sandwich day' ...
moving forward, slowly but surely ...
