Friday night we went on Date #2 A.B. (After Baby), to see The Descendants (this was Date #1). I wore a dry-clean-only cashmere sweater and spike heels to sit in a dark movie theater because, you know…I don’t get to wear impractical clothing all that often lately. And I totally missed our son madly and ended up rushing home right afterwards so that I could be the one to put him to bed.
(Excellent movie, by the way.)
Saturday involved not a single photo-worthy activity (we’re talking straightening up and trips to the dry cleaner, woo), but on Sunday we drove up to Ossining (well…Mom drove. So we didn’t have to take the train with the baby. Thank you, Mom! Also, I need to sign up for ZipCar) to look at more houses. We also made a stop into Lubin’s & Links – that’s Kendrick eating something called a “Junkyard Dog” (chili, bacon, jalapenos, eek) in our realtor’s conference room, because Lubin’s has no indoor seating, it was freezing outside, and our realtor is nice.
This is my Serious Home Buyer Face. (I know, I look super-professional up there in my blazer, but you want to hear a secret? I feel like a six-year-old, having conversations about home ownership – it’s just a world that I’m completely unfamiliar with. It’s also very exciting. Where will we be living in six months? No idea! Now that’s suspense.)
This height chart, spotted inside the closet doors of one of the houses we visited, is a pretty good encapsulation of why we want to move.
We finished the journey back in the city at Flex Mussels, home of spectacular shellfish and that sorta deconstructed lemon meringue pie that I posted about (and shot a Better TV segment on) awhile back.

And finally: this might be my favorite photo of our son ever (or at least so far). Almost 12 weeks!
