Halloween

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

What’s the best thing about Halloween: COSTUMES. We can all agree that Halloween is the one day every year that you can acceptably dress up as anything. We were so prepared. The front of our home was decorated with pumpkins, spider webs, and skeletons. This year we decided to dress up like vampires. We used everything: white and black make-up, fake blood, lots of black clothing and capes.  Read more

MEET LIBERTY

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” are the inalienable rights written about by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. We are pursuing all these things with our new special family member, Liberty.  Liberty is a Yorkie with the working diagnosis of Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a disorder that renders this beautiful baby girl with poor balance and coordination. We, as a family, decided to adopt this special needs dog after seeing her profile on the Hallmark Channel. She has every right to live in a loving, caring environment that we can provide. We are so excited for our new addition! Read more

Do you want to build a snowman?

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC
The desire of every kid in winter and the eternal question asked in the story, Frozen. We went to the Broadway production last Sunday without expectation. Liam loved the movie and all its characters, especially Sven (the Reindeer) and Olaf (the snowman). You know how the movie is never as good as the book? We sort of had the same approach toward the show as it relates to the cartoon. Read more

Property Brothers Book

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

Nana was visiting last week when we received our advanced copy of HGTV Property Brothers, Drew & Jonathan Scott, picture children’s book, Builder Brothers: Big Plans. I’m not sure who was more excited, Nana (she loves these two and HGTV) or Li…but the best part was watching them dive into the book together with all their excitement ??
One of the big messages is that no one is too small to dream big (which I love)??  Read more

First Day of Kindergarten

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

There are moments in the arc of life that are transformative. Our first day at Kindergarten was one of those days. I use “our” because it was a big day for everyone in the family, especially for my beautiful Liam. If you’ve read previous blog posts, you know that he started at CGPS (Columbia Grammar and Prepatory School). It was really the first two days! The first day was a 2 hour phase-in day. The second day was 8 – 3, a full session. To say the least, it was a grand success for Liam while it was emotional for the rest of the family. Read more
