MIAMI girls trip 2011

I head down to Miami with 3 of my girls last weekend. It was just what my prego belly needed. Slept in, Laid by the pool all morning, ate good food, shopped, saw Brides Maids. It was perfect. I left Reyn and Poppy at home and they had a blast as well. She is such a daddy's girl. Loved every minute of it.

Summer time

I LOVE summer time in NYC. It's one of my favorite times. So much to do with kids and the city just comes alive. The past few weeks I have been loving spending them with Poppy. I'm trying to do as much as I can with her before this baby comes in the next few weeks. We've been going to the park, playing in the water, swimming, etc. Her little pre school that she was going to twice a week ended a couple weeks ago. So sad. She had such a blast there and made such great little nugget friends. Here are a few pics.

Memorial Day Weekend

Had a great busy Memorial Day weekend. Saturday woke up and had a Crepe breakfast with all our NY friends. Can't go wrong with that. Then head out to the Hester Street Fair and Park with everyone. Ended the night eating Italian at a great restaurant in the Lower East Side called Bacaro.

Sunday we took a long bike ride over to a park off the West Side Highway

Monday we woke up and head out to the Salvation Army...50% off everything. Found some gems. Then met our dear friend Jessica at Central Park for a picnic, merry go round, bubble watching, music listening, creepy turtle watching, and feeding a horse. Success.

My big belly was sooooo tired by the time we got home.

29th Birthday

One year older and one more year in my 20's. This is going to be the best year yet.

I had a really good birthday this year. I have to say, Reyn really pulled through this year. The morning started off with breakfast in bed made by Reyn and Poppy, presents, and Poppy even slept in until 9. She totally had that one planned. Then I took off with Poppy to watch the Navy ships come in for Fleet Week. There was a little field of grass that was filled with toys and dress up clothes for kids so Poppy partied. Summers here are so fun.

After her nap we went to Imagination Park by our apartment. They have water there, hence the no wearing pants. It rocked.

That night Reyn threw me a "surprise" birthday bike ride: Tour De Taco.

We made two stops at two different taco joints. The first was this Korean Taco place in the Lower East Side. Super good.

The second was a place called Oaxaca in Soho area. Super good Mexican tacos and Horchata.

This year is going to be awesome!

Spring came and went

NY didn't really have a spring this year. We had a few nice days along with a lot of crappy days and then all of a sudden, summer hit. Yesterday I thought I was going to die hanging out at the park with Pops. Being almost 7 months prego in this heat is no joke. I just signed up at a pool so I can start swimming/floating in the water. I need a break from this heat...and it's only June.

Here are some random pictures from "spring" in NY. We've been having so much fun lately. I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with Poppy before this new little nugget arrives. She is at such a great age. I tell her all the time to stop growing, please.

Mom, I finally got a photo of her wearing the bunny ears
