Our first time visiting FAO Schwartz. Pic with the soldier, playing on the big piano, getting out of the torrential downpour of rain, legos for M and calico critters for S.

With a visit to NYC at least once a year I try and pick something new and fun for the girls and I to see. The Sony museum was recommended in a guide book. It was a great match. A rainy day, staying inside and having fun playing with computers and other gadgets. The girls and I were newscaster's and then watched our performance .

Sitting on Alice

Typical NYC church building

J and Rob enjoying a little bit of Italy. Took the girls to Little Italy during the San Gennaro festival. Lot's of carnival games, all the restaurants bring booths onto the street, gelato (yumm, took be back to Slovenia), cannolis' and fun for people watching.

J sitting atop the ropes holding the anchor down on the Intrepid Air Craft carrier. A air craft carrier museum docked on the east side of Manhattan. This was a great place for crawling, climbing, ducking and exploring.

S & M sleeping on the bunks

M & S flying away in the medic coper

Last day of the trip we took a ferry ride to Staten Island. Didn't have time to get off but that was the whole point of the trip, a free boat ride that took us right past the Statue of Liberty. As the boat was docking we were able to watch Marine One land nearby and President Obama walk off the coper. Kids thought that was AWESOME!

Playing at the park the last morning of our trip.

Triplets

Sending the girls off to school this week. Matching hairdos, almost the same height. Aubrey thinks she belongs in 2nd grade. She could pass!

Bite Me!

With Jocelyn cutting her two front teeth chewing on everything is her new talent!

Shhh!

All is quiet in the house. The girls boarded the bus today, I was left with little one. A small knot formed in my throat as they walked onto the bus. Little one looked up at me and smiled and we walked back to the house. My girlfried hosted a Boo-hoo Yahoo bruch at her house. I rode the bike over with little one on the back. That was a quiet bike ride Now J is sleeping, I am blogging, running the wash and planning for a delish dinner. This blogger http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ has inspired me to be a better person, I am copying her back to school dinner ideas!
