relishing time (before *really* juggling)

[Addendum: Oh my gosh-- when I wrote this this morning I had no idea the blog was exactly 3 years old today. Holy cow. Time flies! If you are new to the full plate blog, I encourage you to read my first post... It was-- and continues to be-- the roadmap for this blog. Cheers!]

With school ramping up (for both of us!) in two weeks, I am savoring this unstructured time with my boys. I have to admit that it's a little daunting, wondering whether I'll be able to juggle it all? Was happy to step away from my computer/school prep for the day and experience the awe and excitement of NYC through a newly 9-year-old's eyes...   

And then, of course, there's the food aspect of going into NYC...the special treats we can't get in the suburbs, like wagashi (Japanese sweets)

and some (decadent) macarons from Bouchon Bakery. It was a perfect day, in every way.

P.S. Can you tell who received a digital camera for his birthday?
