Living in NYC
I have had a couple of conversations in the last few days with good friends who don't live in NYC. At some point in our conversation our friends say, "You're never going to leave New York are you." We always reply that as long as living in the city is good for our family we plan on staying. We have a great church, amazing friends, and a fantastic home. The biggest hurdle coming up will be getting Levi into a good school. The process has already begun even though he won't start kindergarten until fall 2009!
Today Allison took Levi to the Guggenheim Museum to see the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit. Earlier in the week Allison went with both Levi and Zeke to the Natural History Museum, and a few weeks ago Allison took Levi to the Damien Hirst exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
All of that to say I (we) feel so fortunate to be able to live here. To be sure there are some trade off's that might be more difficult to deal with as our family gets older. But for the foreseeable future, New York City feels like the perfect place for us. It feels like home.

How cool to be so close to so many cool things. I loved living in the DC area because I could just hop on the metro and go to any museum or historical sight I wanted to. Sam and I went on many adventures together- the first when he was only one week old! I loved living in the big city like that. It sounds like you guys are real New Yorkers now- very cool.
BTW- the video of Zeke is so adorable. My goodness- ya'll have some cute kids! -Erin

Well you can always remind all your friends and family that at least you had kids! (and you are welcome to use us as the scary of example of the alternative - married 9 years! in their 30s! no babies...ON PURPOSE - what could it mean! :))
Allow me to clarify-I wish you lived closer to where I live, or at least where I used to live. But, I am very glad you are happy!
