Sleeping Beauties

I Can't Be-Leaf It!

Today we met Ari at the New York Botanical Garden. (Anybody know why the Bronx one is 'Botanical,' but the Brooklyn one 'Botanic'? If so, please "comment.") There was so much to look at, it was hard to pose for a group photo.

I went on a hunt for pine cones. You know how much I like conifers!


Finally, we ended up in the perfect setting.

Happy Birthday, BoMa

BoMa and Great Uncle Roger celebrated big birthdays this week, so we brought a lot of the family together together to celebrate.

Mostly, it was nice to get squeezes from Aunt Abi.


And squeezes from Brielle.


Giant cookie. YUM!


Have more birthdays soon, please!

Spa Treatments

I took my first shower ever...


...and got quite a massage as well.


Canyon Ranch, eat your heart out.

The Lass Menagerie

Mommy sometimes thinks we act like animals, but I told her we're just sometimes a little piggish.


I make friends with all kinds of animals, even those with six legs and exoskeletons.


I'm a lady, and this is my bug.

We're (Red) Hooked

Liana and I went to Red Hook, Brooklyn, during one of our favorite events, Open House weekend, to take in the views...

...of the Statue of Liberty (way off in the distance)...


...and the glass blowing (up close).


On our way home, we came across this interesting piece of art:

City Island Slickers

Daddy and mommy took us for a road trip to City Island and Orchard Beach.


After a tour around town (including the local shul) and lunch, we ended up at a huge playground where I could give daddy a boost...


...and a flip...


...and a hand.


Sisters swinging by the sea...who could complain?

Reading, wRiting, and 'Rithmatic

As I'm learning my letters, these three Rs really confuse me.

This weekend started with a group of too many to count at Uncle Andy and Aunt Barbra's new home on Friday night celebrating Atty's 3rd birthday.


On Saturday, we could read the writing on the wall (behind our heads) and counted 1-2, 1-2 while dancing at Baby Loves Disco in Brooklyn with Daisy and Aunt Julie.






On Sunday, we went to one of my favorite events: the Great Children's Read and heard my favorite book: Wild About Books.


With all this learning, we will never be confused with these guys again!


It all adds up to a wonderful weekend.

A Laugh and a Half

Nothing makes me giggle like kisses from mommy.

Day 1 of 1260

Today was my first day of school.


Mommy took both of us in on her way back to work (no, she did not carry us two miles, but I'm sure she would have!).


Fortunately, she's been packing our freezer, I mean my lunch, for four months.
