Easter morning, a bucket left for Noah…

After we tore apart the Easter Bucket, and got cleaned up, we walked over to Nana and Opa’s for lunch with the family.

Victoria (who Noah calls “Micky”).

Custom eggs, as always.

Another bucket/basket left for Noah at Nana’s.

A little walk after lunch.

Uncle Matt banged up his knee, so Noah coached him to the park.

Playing with some parachutes.

Our audience.

Hug-fest, as always.

Back at Nana and Opa’s we dug into the cookies that Kate and Noah made the day before.

Mmm… Holidays…

Chris’ Birthday

Last Saturday Noah and I went to City Ice Pavilion in Long Island City for Chris’ Birthday Party.

Chris and his friends.

I wore my special ice skating tights, to help me jump higher.

Miles brought some friends too.

Noah wasn’t into the skates at all, and it took a lot of coaxing. Our first go was pretty wobbly so we took a break and had some lunch.

With renewed strength, lil’ dude was a little more adventurous. Tim skated with him so I could get some flicks.

Cake time.

Patience.

After cake we went back to the rink and Noah, hopped up on sugar, kept pushing my hands away as I tried to skate with him. With my hands free, I couldn’t help but take some flicks with my phone…

…and a quick vid, before/as I got yelled at.

Happy Birthday Chris! Thanks for inviting us!

Last Friday night, Andy and Aransas invited us, along with Sara’s parents, Irga and Doug, over for dinner. When Noah and I got there, Savannah was already passing out appetizers.

Derby!

Noah and Sara had high hopes for sitting at “the grown up table”…

“Hopes” smashed.

It’s a picnic kids!

Thanks for having us over Andy and Aransas!

Grandparents and gardens both start with G

Flash back to last weekend. It’s Saturday. We are waking up with Grandparents in our house. We leave, they follow. Sun shining.

Breakfast.

We get to The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and try to make a break for it.

It’s no use. Flowers.. too.. distracting.

Jackpot, cherry blossoms.

Facebook update.

An emotional elephant.

Five “budding” photographers and two “blossoming” models… get it?

Nap time.

Chilling with Grampa, waiting for me and Nana to get ready.

Geared up, ready to go.

Since Nana and Grampa were in town, I kept Noah home from day care and we all went up to The American Museum of Natural History again. If you’ve ever been, you know the museum is huge and I wanted to see more. Plus they have a lot of stairs and it’s good to wear out your house guests.

Noah was tripping on the neanderthals,

…and the bear skeletons,

…and the giant armadillo!

Lunch.

Nana introduced Noah to some airplane hanger games.

Good times.
