Happy Birthday, Hugo!

Hugo turns 7 today.  Last night we had friends over to celebrate.  Our little friend Sofia turned 7 last week and her mother Anastasia is an amazing cake/pastry artist.  She made the delicious cupcakes.  We provided the TRICK candles.

When our friends came Hugo greeted everyone with hugs and hellos unprompted.  He put on a New Year's Eve hat and grabbed Sofia and twirled her.  Some memorable wonderful moments this winter break.

Dashiel's Christmas Show

Jen and I had the chance to go to Dashiel's Christmas show this morning.  His class performed "White Christmas" — see the video below.  He and his classmates did a great job.

Yesterday's trip on the bike

It's getting cold here....so we have to bundle up.

Thank you, Grandma

It was so special to see Grandma last week.  :)
Thanks for coming, Mom.

First happy successful ride for Hugo.

Gail Brown Came to Town!

Well, she made it!  So great to have my mom here in NYC after a very long and difficult year for her.  The boys are also excited to have their grandma here!

Tonight, we eat! A lot!
Happy (US) Thanksgiving.

Cute one of Dasiel...

Dash likes to Dance

Aracelly (family friend) was over a few nights ago…somehow her and Dash got to dancing.  But, stay tuned because at some point Hugo will have had enough of them.

Hugo's class photo :).  First grader!  Just waiting on Dash's now.

Happy Halloween

Both boys were super excited for Halloween this year.  Hugo wanted to be a Storm Trooper from Star Wars and Dash wanted to be be a green Dino Power Ranger.  Hugo wore his costume to his school party but didn't want to trick-or-treat this evening. Dash, on the other hand, has gone to a coup of parties already and is off now with Jen to make his rounds, door to door, with friends for the first time. 

Found a kitty

We all rejoiced like the coming of Christ. Found a spare kitty at our storage unit today. From 5 we are now down to 2.  Ikea doesn't make these anymore and they are Hugo's most prized possession.

Pictures

Welcome to Kindergarten, Dashiel

Pochunk Valley Farm Orchard

Our third year visiting...this year we went early enough to get peaches.  Hugo was a little surly this time around so he isn't in as many pictures.
