THE ADVENTURES OF NATHAN, CATHI & SPROUT



This Thanksgiving we have something extra special to be thankful for. Baby Ellis will be making his or her debut on June 5th and we could not be more thrilled! Truly the best treasure we could ask for. After 12+ weeks, we happily announced the news on Thanksgiving to our friends and family. We had our first ultra sound on Monday and so far our little sprout appears healthy and quite active. Nathan and I were both surprised to see the little one flailing its little arms and legs and doing Bruce Lee karate chops as well as sucking on its fingers. Amazing. Here are our baby's first pics.

DAY ESCAPE


It was one of those perfect fall days where the sky is a crisp blue and there is a chill in the air but not so cold you have to bundle. Nate and I decided to take the Subaru for a minor exploration to find some hiking trails outside of the city and possibly catch the last of the fall foliage. Just 45 minutes outside of NYC we found this incredible spot called Harriman State Park (TT). There were deer, gorgeous lakes, and best of all fresh air. We hiked about 5 miles, had a picnic lunch in the sun and refreshed our soles. We missed the best of the leaves, but enjoyed it all the same. Next year we will plan a hike for the 3rd week in October - gorgeous!
