Lookin’ Back: Time Flies Over at Roxiticus Desperate Housewives
Over on my Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blog, I just posted an old photo of Maddie at Yankee Stadium in 2002. She was about 3 months old and just cute as a button. Tonight, almost six years later, Maddie and her sister, London, were cuddled up in my bed for bedtime stories. I know it’s a cliche, but I was truly taken aback by how time flies and things change. When our family lived in Manhattan’s West Village, we made it to at least two and sometimes as many as eight Yankee games each season, with the little ones in tow. Then we moved out to the Roxiticus Valley (Mendham, New Jersey) and our priorities have changed. This year (well, last year now that we’re 2 days into 2009), the Yankees played their last game at Yankee Stadium, and we didn’t make it to a single game. I guess it started to feel like more of a hassle to trek out to the Bronx for a ballgame when we could be playing in our backyard instead. Maybe we’ll get back to it once the girls are a few years older, playing softball in the backyard and imagining themselves pitching a no hitter for the Yankees in the World Series. Or maybe that was just their mom’s childhood dream.
