Mickey Mouse Here We Come!

Before Blake becomes a BIG brother, we wanted to take one last trip. Last time we were in Orlando Blake was only 5 months old!

Kitchen Floor Picnic

Blake has been hosting his dogs to picnic lunches. This day he shared his crackers, turkey, and lentil soup. Today he used his plastic food, but thought a cashmere blanket was better than his dinosaur mat.

New Joint

A new place opened around the corner from us. They have a lobster special every Sunday night! Blake's favorite part was watching the surfing videos they have at every table and the salt water taffy they serve with the check. My favorite part was the tube top lobster bib they had.

Sesame Street Live Take 2

Blake enjoyed Sesame Street Live with Mimi and Papa so much, we decided to bring him to the theater at Madison Square Garden to see the show Elmo's Green Thumb.
Blake's favorite part of the show was when they sang the theme song.
His second favorite part was the popcorn and bumping into friends Allie and Reid who were sitting only a few rows away!

Heat Wave

Last week the temperature reached 67 degrees in NYC! We hadn't been to the park in such a long time.Here is Randy organizing a sports class while on his "paternity leave"
We didn't leave until after dark.

Super Soccer Stars

Welcome Keira Louise!

We are so excited to welcome Keira Louise to the sixth floor. Congratulations Randy, Maria, Connor, and Caleb!!!!

Valentine Party

Blake was supposed to host a valentine party in the beginning of the week. Unfortunately he was feeling under the weather, so we had to postpone it until Friday. We were sad all of our out of town friends weren't able to make it. Blake, Allie, and Narinn decorating their Valentine bags.
Pizza and cupcakes. Yum.
The kids exchanged valentines that they made. Blake is still carrying his around in his bag.

Valentine's Day Pottery

Last week we went with friend and classmate Narinn to paint some pottery for Valentine's Day. The studio was right next door to school.
Concentrate...
The boys had to dry their pieces with a hair dryer when they finished painting.

Go Packers!

John's favorite NFL team won the superbowl! We had an impromtu party with some neighbors.
Chowing.
Tense moment?

Sweet Valentine

Blake is hosting a Valentine's Day party on Tuesday. He and his friends are exchanging Valentines. We worked on making them last week.

Regis and Kelly

Mimi and Papa came into the city last week so Mimi and I could go to a taping of Regis and Kelly. We were the last to show up in line at the studio, but the first to choose our seats!

Blake and Papa watched at home. Blake got a big kick out of seeing us on television and is still talking about it.
