NYC

So my sister Shiloh was here in NY for work, so this weekend on my days off I decided to take the train into Manhattan. I got to Grand Central Station and we decided that we wanted to go to Times Square first and about 20 minutes after I got there it started to pour. Rain like I haven't seen in a very long time. So I bought an umbrella from a guy on the street for $5 and tried to keep going. Then we found the H&M and we ended up staying in there for about 2 hours. Then we went back to the RV where she was staying and decided we would get up in the morning and see more exciting places.

Sunday, we got up and took the bus into the city. I did a little bit of souviner shopping and then it stopped raining for awhile so we headed to the Empire State Building. Shiloh stayed at the bottom and I paid the $20 to go to the 86th floor. It was awesome! I could see everything from up there!! Then we took the Staten Island Ferry, which is FREE, and we went right past the Statue of Liberty so I could take picutes, it is pretty amazing. By the time we got back I was very tired(you have to walk alot in NY) and decided I should get on the subway and head for Grand Central Station to catch my bus back to Larchmont.

I have lots of pictures from the past 2 weeks of the kids and from the city, but the auto shippers still have not brought their cars and the wireless router is in the car. So I cannot connect to the internet from my computer for a few more days. Once it is here I will upload all the pics!!

I miss you all very much and love you!!!

First Week!!

So the first week was pretty fun! I had monday off and then it was back to watching the crazy kids!! Tuesday-Thursday it was kind of rainy and overcast and the weather wasn't very nice. So we took the kids to this fun Children's museum like 15 minutes away to occupy them in the morning. They are really good kids and very cute!! Then I had Friday-Sunday off and it has been great. Friday I went to the mall, which is very small and I just got a few little things. Then yesterday I went and laid on the beach for a few hours. it was so pretty, I got burnt tho!! My back looks like a lobster, but it is already turning tan so that is good. Then today I am just relaxing. I slept in, got up and ate and I have been reading and watching TV.

I have pictures, but the internet here is horrible so it is taking way to long to upload them. When we move to the actual house on Thurday or Friday it will be better, so I will add them all them. It will take long, because I will have all teh pics from the beginning but I will explain everything. Miss everyone! Love you all and talk to you soon!

Traveling

So I made it to Mill Valley on Friday morning about 10:30 am and pretty much took the kids to the park right away. Friday and Saturday were busy with the kids, and Nicole and Samie packed everything up. Then we got picked up at 9 am sunday morning and started our trip to the airport. We checked all our bags and got to the gate in plenty of time. We boarded and then took off at 11:45ish.

The plane ride wasn't bad at all. I started out with Tristan who was an angel. He ate and then went to sleep for 2+ hours. Sebastien was crazy the whole time, only slept an hour, was wanting a new toy every five minutes and really enjoyed running up and down the aisle. Amelie was well behaved as well. We landed, got the car and then started the drive to East Hampton. We got to Nicole's parents house at 11:00 eastern time and put everyone to bed. The adults ate a quick dinner and headed to bed shortly after. I was very exhausted and fell asleep right away.

Today I have the day off. I slept til 10:00am eastern time and then I headed into town to get to know where everything was. I bought a book, looked around the very expensive stores and then headed back to the house.

Then I walked about 200 yards, between some bushes and through a gate and I was at their private beach. I read for about 3o minutes and then fell asleep for 1 1/2 hours. It was great and I got some sun on my arms and legs. It is beautiful here and warm. It is very nice. Then we all went to the store so I could get the food I like and then came back.

Everything has been great and I will write again soon!! I love you all and miss everyone!

Talk to you soon!

I am making this blog because tomorrow I am headed back to Marin County to begin my stay with the family I will be with for the next 6 weeks. I will be taking care of 3-year-old Amalie and 18 month-old twin boys Tristan and Sebastian. We leave on Sunday June 1, 2008 and head to New York. We are going to be staying in the Hamptons for the first 10 days and then we will move to their new home in Larchmont, NY.

I will try to keep everyone updated on what I am doing, and of course I will post pictures of what me and the kids are up to!!

See you all in mid-July.
