Living the Road Not Taken - New York
Greetings from New York!
India and I are experiencing a semblance of what our lives would be like if we had not chosen to have children.
Both kids are in Nashville, having a wonderful time with Gramae and Pop. The parade of chocolate cake, Bionicles, Cartoon Network, and cousin love continues.
India and I have been living in New York, sort of as if we were childless. We have been going out to dinner, seeing friends, living the high life. We saw the Black-Eyed Peas in concert last night.
This morning I left before 5 to go to Washington for the day (another shock to the system). India said she woke up completely alone for the first time in over a year. She went off for a 15-mile run with her friend, Sarah.
We miss Zola and Tallulah, but I’m not 100% sure they miss us yet. Soon enough, we will be together again.

When Grady and Sully stay overnight at their grandma’s house, our house is very quiet and feels empty. It isn’t always bad but it definitely feels completely alien. It is hard to imagine life without our kids as the central elements.
But I will freely admit to rather enjoying being to sleep in my bed without fear of an invasion of little boys in the middle of the night and the subsequent planting of cold feet on my back.
