high tide in point beach

The UWS twins came back to the ‘burbs a few weeks ago. For this year’s visit, we brought them to the waterfront, where they experienced high tide at my in-laws house on the Long Island Sound.


Emily LOVES the water. She is fearless.

D, with his parents.

Their patio, in full bloom.

All this waterfront beauty does come with some drawbacks.
I’m sure things look very different today, as they button-up their direct waterfront home in the face of possible storm surge flooding and whatever else this weakening hurricane might throw our way. D’s parents have lived in Point Beach for over 40 years.  This is not their first time preparing for a storm.

May Irene’s powers continue to diminish. She seems to be determined to visit us here in New England. Stay safe if you find yourself in her path this weekend.

Last weekend Jo and Pete packed up the twins and took the show on the road… to our house. These little New Yorkers enjoyed the green grass and the super warm temps while splashing around in the kiddie pool in our backyard. Another thing they don’t have in their Upper West Side apartment? Stairs. Emily and Michael turned one in May and recently started walking. They did a lot of exploring in our house and upon discovering our staircase, they headed up to the second floor more times than any of us care to remember. I’m sure Jo is really glad their apartment doesn have a single step! Emily is a lot more smiley these days. During all of our other visits she used to stare me down with a really intense look, but now she is seeming more lighthearted and fun-loving like her brother.
