Maybe I’ve Lived in New York too Long

The other day I made this statement: “That’s a lot of house for just 2 million dollars.”

Brian said he never imagined he’d hear me say something like that.  I was surfing homes for sale online.  Let me assure you that I was not looking at that house as something realistic for us to buy but was just checking out pricier places for the fun of it (I just love looking at houses).  I’ve seen enough of the real estate market here to recognize that the house was a good deal for that high price, but it did sound like kind of a crazy statement.

(That’s the $2 million dollar house pictured, by the way.)

First Day of Winter

I added an album to my Shutterfly site with some great pictures Brian took today. He got some shots of Ewan at the Christmas pageant and some nice photos of Nyack in the snow.

For more pics of Nyack in the snow, check out the Nyack Daily Snapshot blog.

Here we are in New York

Fig

Actually we’ve been here in New York for something like 3 months now, but this is my first post-move blog. I can’t believe I’ve been such a stranger to my own blog. I’m sure no one ever stops by now. Well, regardless, I am back. I don’t know how often I’ll be back, but I’m back today.

I love our little old house and our village. Nyack is full of charms–plenty of Victorian homes, lovely trees, and quaint shops, especially antique shops. I have yet to actually buy any antiques, but I enjoy looking. Technically we live in South Nyack, though.

Brian is enjoying working with the New York office–he splits his time between a client near White Plains and the Manhattan office. The boys are also settling in well. Ewan is finally starting to say some more words (ball is a particular favorite and he loves playing with little footballs–we think he’ll be our jock). Isaac is more interested in music; he’s been asking for a guitar for Christmas–the first thing he’s ever asked for, actually. So far all I’ve gotten is a recorder (not a tape recorder but one of those little horn things kids play in elementary school) but I’m finding it hard to find an age appropriate guitar that’s not just a toy. My friend Bonni just got him a little music set that included a harmonica, though, and he loves that.

OK, so I don’t have much significant to say today–I think I’m too tired. So I’m going to turn in and hopefully write more soon.
