Desario the Birthday Boy

Desi celebrated his first birthday at Grandma Gwen's house in New Jersey on November 11 (actually he celebrated on Nov. 12, but shhh, no one has to know). Yiayia also came down from New York for the occasion. The weekend in NJ was actually pretty jam-packed. Grandma had a big yard sale, and we all helped with that, and on Sunday, Craig and I went to see the Giants play the Vikings at Giants Stadium. More about that debacle in another post...

My Daughter Went to the 9:30 Club, and All I Got was This Blog Post

We are playing serious catch-up here. The last time I posted to this blog was mid-October. Sad sad sad. Anyway, Azalea and her Dad went to the 9:30 Club for Azalea's first concert -- Jamarama! with Laurie Bernker and the Ohmies and Milkshake. Practically a Woodstock for the toddler set. Now if only the Wiggles and Sportacus and Stephanie from Lazytown could have been there. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, YOU ARE FORTUNATE. Craig, Meli (our new au pair), and I pretty much have the Lazytown soundtrack pounding through our heads everyday. Anyway, our pal Gigi was also there with her parents; she supposedly is a Laurie Berkner fanatic. I hear Gigi got a "Laurie Forever" tattoo on her ankle after the concert.
