Too dry. Too wet. Too Loose Lautrec.

Actually, there are no pictures of Lautrec's work here, because we found his art to be boring, but the kids really enjoyed visiting MoMA in Midtown Manhattan.  What an amazing, beautiful place!

And my littlest one at the hotel.

5 months old!

Only 7 more months until he is ONE!  Time sure is flying right now!  We just started solids and he absolutely loves sweet potatoes.  And, he can even sit unassisted for a couple of moments :)

Jumperoo

B*ennett loves his Jumperoo (that we saved from Baby G days)!  I cannot believe he is old enough to use it!!!
Today was a milestone.  He was jumping so hard and got so tired that he fell asleep in it.  Oh, my!  What cuteness!  G did this all the time when he was teeny-tiny.  Annika hated jumping, she only liked her exersaucer.
I am in love with the fact that I get to experience this stage one more time.

Love-love my chunky monkey!

B*ennett - 4 months old

Snowmageddon Juno.

Today was a fun day!  Massachusetts had a travel ban in effect, so everyone had to stay home.  The city did a great job with keeping the roads clean.  They worked non-stop since Monday evening.  So, we were never in any danger and could always call for help if needed.  

We had a nice and cozy fire in our fireplace.  I made waffles with Hawaiian coconut syrup.  I had to basically make up my own recipe, because non of the recipes online tasted as good as the real syrup.  It turned out awesome! We played outside and watched "Ghostbusters".  The weather was PERFECT!

School is cancelled tomorrow, too, but the travel ban has been lifted and everything will be open.
We love it!  We have an opportunity to move to a very warm state, but are choosing to stay here for the time being because we want the kids to have THIS... this snow, this excitement and this life: ocean, mountains, amazing mild summer days, snow storms and no earthquakes ;p  Life is good and this blizzard was a wonderful experience that we will never forget.  I'm saying all of this because I'm tired of people feeling sorry for us and our weather.  No need to feel bad for us (unless we lose electricity... then feel free to feel sorry for us)!  May we ALL love where we live!

Our street.


Don't mind me!  I'm just digging my way to the front door....

Legoland Discovery Center

A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to the new Legoland Discovery Center in Boston.
They had so much fun that we spent over 4 hours there.  They watched several 4D movies, rode rides, played at the indoor playground and built lots and lots of Lego things.

We are expecting a blizzard tonight and tomorrow. We are ready and excited for a nice day at home. We have lots of food and things to do. As long as we have electricity, we will be happy.

Swimming

A couple of weeks ago the kids went to a birthday party at our local pool.  Swimming is definitely one of their most favorite activities!

And here is my 4 month old! I cannot believe how fast he is growing!
He truly is delicious!!!
