Balls of Fury

Watching the Olympics tonight made me realize that I had some old photos in the archives that document the holiest of holy Olympic competitions…PING PONG!

The Little One | Day I

The weekend had arrived, and with the weekend came the little bundle of joy known infamously as “Ansley.” So Lauren and I mosied up to Penn station, and hopped on an 8 o’clock train to Philadelphia. We became vehemently enraged once delays started piling up, and were equally afraid that we might miss our designated pick-up time with miss Ansley. A terrible thing to do.

But all’s well that ends well, becasue we ended up getting miss missy with time to spare. The next morning the two siblings took our folding bikes down to the service station for a tune-up, and met Lauren deep in the heart of SoHo for some fashion fishing.
