NYC Day Three

Well, after a very rough night sleep wise, we woke up to two men in the apartment yelling, "Hello, hello?". Due to the fact that I had just gotten Emma back to sleep, I rolled over to cover her ears and try to keep her to sleep. Caitlin sat up half asleep and acknowledged their presence while Megs came out in her robe and hair in a towel to assist them. Apparently they were the AC guys coming to check out the system only to inform us one was broken and the other needed servicing and goodbye. Of course it is only supposed to be 93 degrees today and we have moving to do and babies in the house...no problem. So we grinned (ok, that might be a stretch), but we did manage between fans and drinking and complaining helped a lot too!! Once we got up we all decided to take a walk to Starbucks. Angel loves walking the NYC streets and hopping and skipping and doing 1-2-3-WEE. She was very excited because she got her very own little Starbucks treat and thought she was grown up drinking "coffee". Then we walked to the gardens and had some sisterly chats while Angel played in the water....and Caitlin informed me that Emma also tried her first sip of coffee (she is putting everything in her mouth right now...apparently even Starbucks straws!). We mostly moved around stuff and continued to unpack today. Caitlin took Angel to the Kiddie Sports Bar around the corner, which is a fun ice cream-candy place that caters to little ones. She was very excited coming back and showing me her back of "bellies" (jelly bellys). The athlete (Caitlin, or as I call her the insanely dedicated trainer) decided that since she needed to exercise she would just run the stairs in the complex here. Yes, remember we live on the 27th floor!! And as if that wasn't enough she decided in between each flight of stairs it would be "fun" (again, INSANE) to do push ups on the elevator doors. I was just worried she would pass out in the heat and so was a man she passed in the stairwell. After we made her take a shower, we decided to give Indian food a try...actually Caitlin and Meghan talked me into it. Angel usually likes Chicken Curry, however when Caitlin and Meghan tasted it they had to drink a ton of water, so let's just say Angel got leftovers for the night. I did really like my dish though and the Naan bread. Megs took Angel for a walk that evening and they had fun getting a new toy car and some mini M&Ms. Caitlin has been a HUGE help with giving the girls baths and once Angel was bathed, mom made the decision to put her in her own room so that she would actually go to sleep...and it worked!! I only had to go in once all night long!! Miss you Jason....the girls and I love you lots!! Amazing what a team we make...all the little things that we don't even have to tell each other to do with the day to day duties and caring for the girls....I never have realized it so much before this trip. We make a great team and you are such an incredible help...although I do hope you are enjoying some R&R from daddy duties!! (there are some cute pics of Angel singing in the slide show)
