Last weekend, on the day of the marathon (always a fittingly beautiful day), we remembered what it’s like to watch the sun set in the 4 o’clock hour. I was dreading the change (and indeed we’re all getting up a little earlier than we would like this week), but it has had an upside: the return of sunsets and late afternoon light! As it turns out, with an infant who goes to bed at 7pm, we were really starting to miss being outside while the sky turned golden or pink as the city turned on its lights. Of course, for poor Aron, it means he might not see the sun at all most days–so he is whistling a different tune.
New York City is especially beautiful right now–we’re in the peak of that autumn glow–so I’m looking forward to lots of time outside this weekend. I’m also looking forward to meeting a new baby; a best friend is due today. (11/11/11!)
Any fun plans?

seeing pictures of races always inspires me…and then I look outside and think, "heck to the no." glad it was fun to watch, though!
Amazing photos! I have my first half marathon coming up next weekend

Thinking of you guys and the lack of sunshine time with your little Hudson–your advice about having a baby in the summer months when there is more light was a piece of advice I think I'll surely take! Thanks again!
And my Mr. is feeling Aron's pain too–he's on his ER rotation and never sees the sunlight!
beautiful! this is my hands-down favorite day in NYC and i had to miss it this year, so thank you so much for posting!!
Oh man, I really should consider going on a run today but… I think I'll stay inside where it's warm.
So sad Aron can't see the sunshine. I know what that's like and it is tough.
Those yellow-gold trees are breathtaking! I may have to print the last pic to go on my "pretty-picture-inspiration-board" at home.
