First Day of School

Russ started his first day of school on Wednesday. He really enjoys it. He is taking Contracts, Procedure, Constitutional Law, and Torts. The first picture is a regular one. The next he tried to pull a funny face, but as I was taking it, he noticed that the bus was there. The third picture is him getting on the bus.

We really love it here in New Haven. The people at church and at school are great. We feel really blessed that we were able to come here.

New Haven Lullabies

After particulary inspiring few nights, Russ and I have decided to put together a mix CD. This is what we had in mind:
New Haven Lullabies
1. Sirens ........... NH Fire
2. Truck Backing Up Alarm .......... Who Needs a Clock?
3. Remix on Sirens .......... NH Police Department
4. Drunken Rant (What the #$%@ are you #&$#^ing) .......... Source of weird beer smell
5. Battle of the Ghetto Blasters .......... Snoop Dogg v Enimen
6. Squeaky Brakes .......... Yale Bus Service
7. Where's the Fire? .......... Race Car
8. Drag Race .......... Prospect
9. You're under Arrest .......... NH Police Dept.
10. Thump, Thump, Thump, Squeak .......... The guy upstairs
Bonus Track: Doesn't anyone sleep in this town? .......... Russ and Elizabeth
So if anyone knows anyone in the Music Biz, let us know! It is going to be a hit!

I guess it is never really clear.

It is really funny how it changed with different pictures. I guess it is the margin of error. Russ was really pleased with this one because he wanted to see something of Megan's that came from him.

Megan's

Mom's Turn

See what I mean?

This is living proof of Megan's favorite pastime. I am helping her in one picture because she noticed me and was trying to grin when I was taking her picture. I have a klassy baby. I have seen her suck on her thumb a couple times, but clearly she likes other appendages. I am not sure what I am going to do with her. She is so funny. She has turned into such a motor mouth. It can be constant. Like right now, she is complaining in the background. I usually wake to her yelling in her crib, happy as a clam. She also enjoyes adding her comments during Relief Society.

I Heart NY!

On Tuesday, we went down to New York City. It was so fun. We strolled through Central Park, went through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, Ground Zero, Chinatown, Times Square and Rockefeller Center (did I leave anything out?). We would have (and could have!) done so much more, but Megan is definitely not a city girl. She is more of a stay at home and play with her toes kind of girl. But, I think she had a fun time. She really liked the Museum and looking at all the people and the bright colors of the paintings. She also enjoyed sucking on dad's finger. Oh well, a baby can only have so much class. She also loved the vents on the trains, and I had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't suck on them. We came back Friday afternoon. I also saw two sculptures that I have always liked, and look forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Art next time we go down.
