New York Nortons

Carolyn Guy convinced Jeannie to do a girls weekend out in New York. They bought hotel reservations at the midtown Hilton and Broadway tickets to see Wicked. And they were even gracious enough to let us spend some time with them. We went to Mama Mexico’s on 103rd/Broadway which we’ve mentioned is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. We did the infamous Staten Island ferry ride that we do whenever someone comes for a visit, and then made some delicious pasta for dinner. Sunday was the Five Boro Bike Tour where 35,000 cyclists bike through all the boroughs. We met them in front of their hotel which was on the route for our goodbyes.

This is our new puppy, Murphy. She’s half bear, half land shark. We say “bear” because just look at her. “land shark” because she could puncture a lead pipe with her puppy teeth or possibly chew through concrete. We’re still working on the whole “what’s okay to chew on thing.” Her chews toys – OK. Ashley’s ring – NOT OK. Her ball – OK. My fingers, toes, face, clothes, fingers, and other fingers – NOT OK.
