Life's A Beach

I got to spend the day with T at the beach this week. He rode his bike next to me while I ran and then we hit up the snack bar for some treats. Then it was off to play in the sand and water at low tide. We collected a lot of snails!  We topped it off with a swim at the pool when we got back home. Such a fun day 😊

Trip to The Zoo

It was a beautiful day for a trip to the zoo.  We got up and headed south to the Bronx zoo - one of the best!  A great start to a family weekend.  :)

Yellow belt

He did it!  Friday night Ben passed his taekwondo test to earn his yellow belt.  He was so proud of himself.  We went out to the diner and got ice cream afterwards to celebrate.  A great start to the weekend!

Yeah!

He Just Can't Help It

Since the beginning - whenever this kid gets in the car, he falls asleep within 15 minutes!

Weekend of Sick

We got slammed hard this past weekend.  Stomach bugs for mom and dad and bad cold and fever for older brother.  Thankfully there was a negative flu test and we are on the mend.  Being sick is the pits!

Couch bound for days!

The Kings of Queens

We took a New Year's Eve adventure to NYC today.  But instead of heading to Times Square like a million of our closest friends, we went to Queens.  For the views, for the playgrounds and for the food!

Happy New Year, everyone!  : )
