Guess what! We’re now homeowners. We closed on our new house in Prospect Heights today. It feels remarkable in so many ways — so much money has left our hands, but so much potential remains! The closing itself was long (2.25 hours) but totally friendly and smooth. I am beat after the process.

In Nina news, she had her first “time-out”…she was with a new playmate who has long hair and wouldn’t stop pulling it. When our nanny told her to stop, she started going after other off-limits items, like the cable box, a potted plant, etc. Testing the limits, apparently. Rena put her for one minute in the pack-n-play. She was not happy and yelled, but once taken out was very sweet and much calmer.
