Photo dump#1


I apparently have too many pictures on my phone and need to get them off ASAP!  I have fallen a little behind with my blogs so I am going to do my best to catch up over the next week. 


Ryan is loving the new stroller. This is what seems to happen any time after 3 when he climbs in. One tired boy giving up naps=lots of cat naps in the stroller.


This was Andrew's birthday wish list. You better believe he was on top of that!

Some little monkey quit taking the pippy and only wants his hand and thumb…crap...

One of our first short sleeve days outside when Andrew had a phantom fever and got to go out to play while missing school.
                                                          I love this shot! Right on the great lawn



Playing with Quinn on the playground. He is ready to be a big boy!


A little playdate with Braxton and RJ before they head back to Chicago:(
                                                         Like father, like son


We headed down to Grand Central for an Earth Day activity that we heard was great for kids. It was not. But, Andrew had his picture taken on the green screen and then we followed his person around on lots of computer screens. He is a red one.

                                            Julian's first time to GCT! Can't you tell he is excited!

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!
