Sick and I Met Mangini

Well, the subject line says it all - Brayden and Curran are sick. Curran has pneumonia and Brayden has bronchitis. I am happy to report that the antibiotics have kicked in and today they were feeling much better. Here are some illustrations of the past couple of days:

The good news is that they sleep more when they are sick. Brayden averages about 13 hours a night when he's sick and a 3 hour afternoon nap. Curran will take an hour morning nap and a 3 hour afternoon nap. She will only go 11 or so hours at night though. They are very cute and cuddly when they are aren't feeling well.

In other exciting news, I met Browns head coach Eric Mangini last week in the airport. He was very, very nice and seemed very excited to meet yet another desperate Browns fan.

NYC was wonderful! Colleen and I had a great time, relaxing, eating, drinking and walking. We were sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Soho and 2 friends from college walked up who happened to be in NYC the same time as us. What a small world. We also had brunch at the Plaza on Sunday before we flew out with my very best friend from high school, Aaron. It was great to see him and I am sure we bored Colleen to tears with all of our stories from high school. We got our buzz on with $15 mimosas and vodka tonics. Is there any other way to fly?

All the work at the Catawba house is done! It is ready to be lived in. We are very very excited for the spring and summer to arrive.

Next week is the big day, my favorite day of the year, the kickoff to spring - ST. PATTY'S!!!! I feel horribly guilty because I have asked our nanny to watch the kids while I go out downtown and get my drink on. Oh well, its a once in a year experience, and a super fun one at that.
