grocery shopping and ny visitors

One day Clint surprised us by coming home early, and we decided to grab groceries and make dinner at home. Clint is rarely able to join me for grocery shopping (or eating at home, for that matter), so he documented it. A typical trip to the grocery store entails Josie riding on my back the 10 or so blocks to the store, picking produce from the outdoor area, and gathering whatever we need indoors (and trying to avoid getting run over by the old NY women and their pushcarts). I always seem to load us up with more than I can carry home, so we usually jump in a cab instead. I'm a pack mule for my child and all that she consumes.

In May and June we were fortunate enough to have visits from three of Clint's siblings--Annie and Cameron came from Boston for Memorial Day; Rebecca brought her daughter, Claire, for a mother / daughter NY trip; and Elise joined us for a weekend before she heads to Ecuador. It was great to have them here. Come again soon!

Josie usually doesn't mind the trip and I've become quite adept at keeping her from pulling too many things off the shelves (the aisles are barely wide enough for one cart)

Rebecca and Claire joined us for lots of time in the park; games and walks with Elise--whom Josie calls "peepee"
