Saturday Morning in NYC

My mom, sister Marnie, brother-in-law Chris, and precious nephew Pax rolled into town Thursday night in anticipation of Baby Girl's arrival (due date yesterday, nothing to report yet), and we're sooo happy to have them here! We're hoping that our baby will appear soon but until then we're just having fun. This morning we hopped on the bus at the end of our street that took us into NYC. We joined the human throng in Times Square and hiked up to Central Park. We had a great time!! The boys would have loved just riding on the bus and coming back home. Howie's favorite part was definitely the bus but he did ask me on the way home if we could live in New York City. So I would say the morning was quite a hit!

Howie rides his scooter through Times Square- it's hard to see how this went very well judging from the crushing movement of humanity, but he managed somehow.

Grandma, Josh, and Justice pose with Mickey and Minnie! How perfect is this for Justice?? He couldn't bear to look away even for a moment.

Unsurprisingly, Justy managed to find a big puddle in a playground in Central Park and completely soak himself... then he headed straight for the sand area. Yuck.

Paxy scales the ropes in Central Park



Paxy and Grandma look at all of the horse carriages in Central Park


What a goofball!!



Photo with Woody!! Howie said to me, "I can't believe Woody is REAL!!"



Frappucino drinking in Times Square... seriously? Are we those parents? We are indeed.


It was a fun morning and we're excited to go back soon!!

Hahahaha....I love so many things about this post!
I love that F-Dawg is in it. Great to see pics of Pax...and to read that you call him Paxy. Love seeing Howie slurp down a frap...and Justice reminds me so much of you! His facial expressions have Betsy written all over them. I literally laughed out loud while looking at this.

Miss you bunches.
Baby Girl...come, come, come!
