Plothows Visit Day 3, 4, & 5

Okay we are back tracking again. Since Baby H's arrival we have been taking it easy around here. Back to the Plothow's visit!

Day three was dedicated to downtown. We made our first stop at the 9/11 Memorial (post here). From there we walked down to the Staten Island Ferry to sail by the Statue of Liberty. 



Our lovely city. NYC we <3 you!


Lady Liberty


Washed out photo!


I do not know what this boat is for, but I want to find out because I know Lyndon would love to go sailing around in it.

 
We ate the best pizza on Stone Street downtown at Aidrienne's Pizza Bar. Stone Street is this cobble stone street that is closed to traffic. All the restaurants have tables outside which is perfect for spring/summer weather. Aidrienne's Pizza Bar is my absolute favorite. It is not your typical NY pizza, but it is so so so good. The arugala salad is to die for as well. I could talk about it for a while.

 

Wall Street.

Day four was Sunday which we kind of took it easy since it is the day of rest. We walked to through Central Park on our way to church.


Belvedere Castle.


Cuestest girl in the world.



We picniced at Sheeps Meadow.


That night we hung out at the apartment and celebrated September birthdays. Happy Birthday to Grandma and Aunt Hannah! Cosette has the best face in this picture. She loves cake.

Day five Lyndon took them on a mini version of his skyscraper tour. We started out walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.



This is as good as a family photo for us gets.


Cosette with a yellow water taxi boat in the back ground. The yellow boat love continues.


The second stop on Lyndon's tour was the Woolworth Building.


Empire State Building. The most romantic place on Earth. I think this is what everyone enjoyed the most that day.




Outside Grand Central with Hermes.


We had a wonderful visit with the four of them and miss them lots. Now they need to come back and visit so they can meet Baby Henry.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
