The Bridenstines -- Random Rants, Daily Dish and Seriously Silly Stuff

Sunday, October 26, 2008 --- Sunday fun in the park

What a beautiful day to get out on this gorgeous Sunday! After some super scrumptious chicken and waffles, the three of us hit the 110th Street Central Park playground. My tummy was full, but my camera was out, and I captured some really cute pics of mother and son at play. What a pair of cuties!

Apple picking in New Paltz, NY, with the Pauls. Yeah! What a great way to spend a beautiful October day. Anthony drove, Jen and Lori watched the two Nichlolas', and I rode in the open trunk. Steerage I think is the formal name. But I'm happy to do it anytime, as we made it up there with no problems, and actually saw a black bear on our drive up. Happy, he was far off from the expressway. A nice 1:30 p.m. brunch filled out tummies and then we spent several hours at the apple orchard, picking, eating, playing, buying, riding, laughing, etc., until lots of traffic and tears on the way home. All worth it, and we look forward to doing it again. Take a look at some pics!

Here's Nicholas at 10 months entertaining himself on the way to the park! He went to the dr. on Tuesday and weighed in at 25.6 pounds - still in the 95 percentile. Plus, we met another Nicholas! That makes 5 we now have met in our neighborhood! It must be the most popular name this year in NYC. Enjoy!

The Bridenstines consist of five sentient beings of various intellect, value and potential, specifically:

Lori -- Wife and mother, taking a government-sanctioned maternity break from her personal training gig to birth, rear and guide her son as he begins his life and ends hers, a.k.a. “eating the metaphorical bon bon.”

Nicholas -- Newest addition to the family, born happy, healthy and eager to start blaming his parents for ruining his life. Predicted first word – Why?

Brummie -- Elder female feline, happy with warm belly rubs and cold bowls of milk. Tabby in coat, Tiger in heart.

Maya -- Deadly-but-delicious younger putty tat, with a soft face to melt the hardest heart and a proclivity toward urinating on Mom and Dad while they sleep.

Michael -- Husband and father, busy writing, producing and directing the next great American sitcom, if at least in his head. Loves to multi-task while on the phone, often by dusting while yapping.
