Aunt Sue visits!

Sue made her way to NYC! She had never been before so we really wanted to show her around…BUT, it poured rain ALL day long on her first day. So we did lots of playing and chatting instead.

We decided to head down to the Weekend Today Show to see if we could get in on the excitement! Did we ever-there wasn't anyone there and we got to move around from segment to segment. Lester Holt, Jenna Wolfe, Erica Hill and one other were the anchors for the show. We didn't get to get any pictures with them directly, but I got some pretty decent ones with my phone. 

 Once we got home we watched ourselves on the show and saw ourselves numerous times! I will say that maternity coat I was wearing added about 20 pounds:) Here was a shot a friend sent me via text.  It was a cool 15 seconds of fame for Sue and I!

After the show we headed into Central Park. We took her by Belvedere Castle, over Bow Bridge, by Bethesda Fountain and through part of the Mall. Trees are starting to bloom! Spring is on its way!!

 We finally donated some money and the boys got to each try out the ginormous bubbles. This is always fascinating.

                                                      They are INSIDE the bubble!

 These breakdancers were really cool

 We see the ballerina mime quite often. Sue wasn't too keen on her though-she didn't want to be in the picture.

 After almost two years here we finally decided to rent boats. I know why we haven't before-the kids liked it for about…8 minutes...

                     
                                   So glad you got to come visit Sue! See you soon!

2 months old!

A post ALL ABOUT Julian! 

                             My cute new hooded monogrammed towel from the Kelly Family

 Lots of little faces from this little monkey

                                                This is a bad picture but this is a 9 month onesie!

                 Ryan tells Julian the entire time--"nothing to be scared of (D)ulian" when we are at the doctor. Julian has had a temperature for 10 days and they did a CBC at his checkup. It was so pitiful. Just something viral he got from Andrew. The joys of having a baby and a kindergartener at the same time! Hopefully it will break soon so he can get his shots and have a little more immunity. He is still a happy, cooing little boy though, so that is a good sign!

                                       2 month stats--13.9 lbs, 24.5"--the size of a 4 month old

It's finally Spring!!

We finally got some warmer weather here in the city. We couldn't wait to get out and enjoy the park in all its glory. We made a little pit stop by the Conservatory Water and watched the boats before heading to one of our favorite playgrounds. 

 I know I post a lot of picture of Ryan sleeping in weird places and positions, but this may take the cake.

I got out for my first run post Julian. I didn't make it too far-I think about 2 miles total, but I was out!

Lots of this equals this-

Look how LONG he is!!

This is apparently how we are potty training in the city. He is on a tiny travel potty. We are now 5 days without an accident!! Pull-ups still at night and quiet time (JUST IN CASE there is a nap:)

Since we have lived in the city I am pretty sure we have only had dinner with friends about 10 times. It seems so WEIRD! Back home I think we got together almost every weekend with someone to let the kids play and have some adult conversation while the kids ran (outside, downstairs, etc..) Obviously we have different circumstances but I REALLy miss it. We try to still do it occasionally and the excuse this time were the new baby meetings!

Julian, Andrew, Quinn and Ryan

And sweet little Mackenzie

Julian is 10 days younger. He has a serious Semesky head-look at the size of that thing!

Spring Break is over:(

Someone was just a bit tired-the current story of our life

                                                           Straight face mustaches

                                          Light brights in mason jars for a fun, quick craft

                                                         This is how I cook these days
