Trip to NYC

We're a little behind on the blog, but we went to New York City for a fun weekend in March.

Daddy had a meeting at the Hyatt Grand Central and we met him there to spend the weekend.  

And look who we found in NYC!  Max came to join us. for the day.

We took a cool bus tour around NYC.  We rode on the top of the double decker, something Noah always asks to do.

Then we went to take the Staten Island Ferry across the river.  We had great views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

We had a great lunch on the other side on Staten Island--in the Ferry terminal.  Yum...great Pizza.

We'll be back soon.

Springtime. Finally!

Spring is finally here!  April showers bring...well, lots of things!

Noah is helping Sophie read a book before bed

Noah played indoor soccer this year.  He was one of the younger kids on the team but played great.  His team was first in their league, made the playoffs and won the championship game!  This was the first team he played on where they actually kept scores and standings.  It was fun, and Noah was really proud of the trophy he got for 1st place.

Next stop, Connecticut.  These trips usually involve a stop somewhere for a little dinner and a lot of ice cream!

It was Passover weekend and we stayed in Danbury.  Notice Sophie and Auntie Marcie dressing alike for bed.

Uncle Jimmy isn't wearing pink, but was reading a really great book!

Everyone was there for the Sedar.  What a great day.

And Sophie found the Matzah and his holding up her reward.  Thanks Nanny and Poppy.

Pile on Sophie!

The next night (the "real" first night of Passover, Mommy made a wonderful Sedar at home.

In between holidays, Sophie went to the zoo and saw--and became one of--the animals.  Especially the pigs!

An occasional tradition has been to go to Ocean City on Easter weekend.  The amusement park opens up and lots of people are on the boardwalk.

And the Ice Cream place is open of course!

This was Easter weekend.  We all went to Radnor Valley for brunch and an Easter Egg Hunt!

But first the Easter Bunny came to our house

Someone said we would have to teach Sophie what to do.  But away she went grabbing all the eggs she could find.

Noah and Sophie's friends Hudson and Scarlett came with us and made it a fun day.

Don't even ask!

Finally Sunday morning, and pancakes for everyone.

We're really glad spring is here.  We're all back outdoors, everything is green and warm, and we have so many fun things to do.

Family photos

This blog is from Sophie.  She is doing the captions and David is typing:

These are some of the last pictures from our great vacation at Turks and Caicos.

Sophie loved playing with Abby Caddabbie.  They sang songs, and a guy lost an apple and dropped it in the bushes.

So, we're walking with Big Bird because Big Bird is so tall and I like all the Sesame Characters

We took a cruise on a catamaran out into the ocean and Elmo came with us and then Zoe came up too!

The girls!  Mommy is holding me because I love her so much
