What a surprise. Rachel’s brother and sister-in-law timed the birth of their twins perfectly for my visit to New Jersey today. So nice of them. I just got back from the hospital where I met my new nephew and niece on their first day. It was pretty amazing to see how much they already appeared to be interacting with each other just 3 hours old. It also really hit home that Rachel and I are now officially on the clock. Well, Halle and Drew, welcome to New Jersey. I can’t wait to introduce you to your little cousin…he’ll be here in a few weeks.
It didn’t seem to work on me, but according to a recent study of lab mice, running and heavy cardiovascular exercise actually increase your brainpower. I had noted in a previous post that long distance running is proven to be good for your knees. Now they’re saying that it makes us smarter? I was really looking for excuses to stop the marathon itch, but once the baby arrives, I think it’s time to give it another go.

A few people have been asking for pictures of the new house. Well, we’re still piecing the inside together, but here’s a picture of the back of the house from the yard.
The view from Russert's backyard.
Congratulations Jesse & Becky!
The last 10 days have been a complete whirlwind. Last weekend I was in Barre, Massachusets for my cousin’s wedding at Hartman’s Herb Farm. Monday Rachel and I moved into our new house in Ithaca, NY and Thursday morning I left for Monhegan Island, Maine for the wedding of Fred & Susannah. I’ll share a few pictures from both weekends once I edit down from 400, because both weddings & locations were incredible.
In the meantime, you can read about Fred & Susannah in the NY Times, and check out the listed photographer under their photo.
Monhegan Island, Congrats Fred & Susannah
What a time. We’re all packed up in the apartment, heading off to cousin Jesse & Becky’s wedding tomorrow morning, and then back to Ithaca on Sunday for our move on Monday. Oh, and we’re two months from the arrival of lil’ Ash. Here’s the latest picture of Rachel. That belly is really popping now. But isn’t she cute?
