AWE...We are back from NYC so I can resume blogging!


A day in Central Park 
What a beautiful place to lounge, people watch, sleep, listen to music...

Spring Bloom in Central Park  (Early May)

Out for a daily stroll (weather permitting) it rained 23 days in June :o(

Sunset view from our apartment (14th floor of Scholar Building next to Sloan Kettering on York Ave in the upper east side of Manhattan)

Skyscraper in the mist
Bryant Park, Manhattan

Thaddeus' first Carousel Ride (Bryant Park, Manhattan)

Thaddeus loves parks, with all their sticks, dirt, sand, swings, climbing walls, slides....  Now that we are home in Michigan Thaddeus our house is pretty cool since the front yard is his own personal park!

Thaddeus' first steps were taken in Manhattan-His first solo steps were the week of his birthday.

Tenderness

New York "Urban Mama"

Rock Climbing lesson number...Not sure, I have lost count, but he is going to be a natural!

Enjoying a find in the park, and not full of dog slobber so we got to take it home and enjoy it for weeks.

Still stealing my kisses from you...as often as I can.

Intersection at Battery Park (Park across from Staten Island)

Thaddeus out for a stroll on a chilly June morning

The Saturday Farmer's Market
 So close to our apartment we could see them setting up from our window. 
 Janelle kept us well stocked with delicious fruits and veggies between all our restaurant meals.

Manhattan does aesthetics like no place else

How can you not fork over money when they look like this?  Trust me, we did.  Michigan feels like one big bargain shopping state now!

Our Macrobiotic salad from a "living/whole/organic food" restaurant  
Some things will be missed 

Thaddeus playing in a park. Notice the beautiful stance/form he is demonstrating for rock climbing.  :o)

While we are in Manhattan NY (May & June) I will not be able to easily update the blog with current photos due to a very old laptop I'm using and poor connection quality.

In the interim I thought I would share a video that really speaks for itself...

Blessings

Loving the swing

Not loving the sleep

He looks like he is prepping the crowd for his next stunt..."and this time I will be shot out of a canon."

A night out

 Anticipating warming weather 

Story time with Dad

A cold walk in the park,
but still happy about it
