04.20.12 ~ Morning Runs ...

I have been training for the 1/2 marathon that takes place in Brooklyn in May. Last week, I just had to take my camera with me to take pictures of my beautiful route that I run along the Hudson River - along the west side of the Manhattan Island. The running path is full of blossoming trees and having the river alongside me is so peaceful ... 

 I looked behind me to see how far I had been running (I live by the George Washington bridge, which is in the distance of the picture below) ... and the sun was still rising - so gorgeous ...

I so look forward to my morning runs when I know I can enjoy the beauty around me ... and I have no kids with me. :)

04.08.12 ~ Happy Easter ...

Connor had a fun-filled week entailing many Easter Festivities. He first had a "playgroup" mid-week and of course, it was all based around bunnies, Easter, candy, and egg hunts ...

We didn't have an Easter basket yet, so Mommy improvised earlier that morning ... Connor loved opening his eggs and seeing what treats he got inside ...

Then, that weekend, Connor was able to go on another Easter egg hunt at Isham Park. There were a lot of kids, so he only got 5-6 eggs. He was as happy as could be though ...

"Treats make me really happy! "

We of course, needed to dye some Easter eggs the night before Easter ... Connor was entranced by the little tablets dissolving in the vinegar ...

Connor's favorite egg ... I think his favorite color is orange, because he wanted to keep putting his eggs in the orange dye ...

Easter morning ... I think the Easter Bunny came! ...

Connor with all his "lute" ...

And last, but not least, Connor in his new Sunday clothes he got for Easter ...

"Happy Easter everyone!"

04.01.12 ~ Big Shoes to Fill ...

Whenever Connor sees Daddy's slippers lyin' around ... he's just gotta wear them. He's got some big shoes to fill. Like Father, Like Son ...
