Lady Liberty

Image
While we had our spring breakers here we went to see the Statue of Liberty with them. We have only done the Staten Island Ferry which just sails by her so this was a real treat for us. Cosette was especially excited because the week before we were downtown looking at her with Aunt Ellen . Cosette wanted to go to the Statue of "Livery" so bad. We are grateful Grandma and Grandpa visiting gave us the perfect excuse to go.  So excited to see the Statue of "Livery"! With my babies and a view of our city. We could see Daddy's work from here. And we were dorks and faced timed with us while we were on the island because we could see his office. He said that he could see us waving. He's a good Dad.  The fam-bam.  My baby brother who is not a baby at all anymore.  Snapped a photo with a replica of the torch inside the museum.  Our tickets allowed us to go as high as the pedistol. This was our view.  Looking for Daddy's wor

Spring Breakers

Image
Mom, Dad, and brothers came to visit us for their spring break! 8 people in 500 sq ft for a week made for close quarters, but these folks made it easy. My parents have been to visit us multiple times here, but my brothers have only been here once before. And that trip was kind of stinky because they were helping moving Lyndon in to our apartment right before he started law school. So nobody knew any of the cool things to do yet in the city. These boys definitely needed a second visit to get to see NYC from our seasoned knowledge. We hit a lot of the main sights, and a few off the beaten track.   Eston and Dad at the Natural History Museum. We love this place.  Uncle David teaching Cosette about the universe. She had so much fun with them.  My normal weight if I lived on the Sun. There are a bunch of different scales that will tell you what your weight is on different planets, stars, moon. Pretty neat to contrast between Earth and all the others. Uncle David and Henr

Henry, I love you.

Henry turned 18 months old yesterday on St. Patrick's Day! This little boy has stolen my heart. He is at a really fun age right now. I can't help it but kiss his little head every chance I get, and then he leans in his head for more! I never knew that you could have so much love until I became a mother. When Cosette was born, I was bursting with love for that little girl. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love her (except for Lyndon). Then Henry was born. My love for him was not as overwhelming at first as it was for Cosette, but as time progressed my love for him has grown so much, it could make a mountain as flat as a pancake. I am so in love with this little boy. I say it all the time, but he is the sweetest little sweetheart there ever was. He exudes joy and brings smiles to all our faces. It is contagious! I know before he was born, I felt sorry for Cosette because she would not get as much attention and then I felt sorry for him because he could not get

Ellen's Visit

We love having family visit. The kids love it! I love it! And when Lyndon is home he loves it! My sister came up for her spring break and she brought spring weather to the city. The first thing Cosette did when she saw Aunt Ellen she ran up to her and gave her a big hug. I'm sure Ellen's heart was melting. It was sweet. We have been going non-stop since her arrival. She came at the best week of the year so far. The temperatures warmed up for us, even getting to 60, melting a lot of the snow and making it possible, bearable, and necessary to be outside! She has visited us several times, but we still managed to have a lists of first for her to experience. I love New York City. It's always an adventure no matter how many times you come, even for us locals. We were able to go to a play ground! It's been months. Both kids were so happy to be there. Starting spring off right with the cupcake of the day at Georgetown Cupcakes. Probably our new tradition when visitor
