With Jerry spending time with Leni at the hospital, and a fridge full of food, Amanda invited us over for dinner the other week. Their apartment has epic sunsets.

Noah’s got this thing where he presses his nose to your nose. It can be a little weird.

Noah’s 5th Brooklyn Birthday

For Noah’s 5th birthday, Brooklyn edition, he wanted to have everything be about sharks. Kate did a great job with it, not only with the decorations, but even carving her own version of the shark shaped watermelon that my cousin Julie made for Noah’s party up in NH.
