Chloe and Shane started taking swim lessons last week. Shane’s waiting patiently for his teacher to arrive.

I’m so excited!!

After swimming, I took Chloe to Kumon. She looks so calm and attentive.

We celebrated today by meeting up with good friends and going to the Governor’s Island.

Ferry ride

Mr. cool

So fun to watch the kids play together.

Chloe loves to fly a kite.

Baby Andrew!

Baby Alison! How appropriately dressed! 🙂

Ferry ride back to Brooklyn

What an awesome way to spend a holiday. I love that all my friends are now moms! 🙂

I got a new mixer last Friday and since then I’ve been making all kinds of smoothies for the family.

It’s official. The summer is here!!!

My Ms. Sunshine.

Kids and the husband have been taking turns getting sick for the last month or so, it was evident. I have bronchitis…

We had the pleasure of having some good friends over for play date this afternoon.

Shane’s first time riding a scooter. He picked it up right away. And yes Shane… you’re riding a girl’s scooter.

Chloe concentrating hard.

I’m so used to my kids running around and being loud. It was funny to see all of them so quiet. Riding is serous stuff I guess.

The newest thing with Shane is, he’s been Mr. No to everything.

For Father’s day..
Chloe: I’m so excited about father’s day!
Andrew: What about you Shane?
Shane: No can do!

Me: Let’s eat dinner.
Shane: Nope.

Me: Try this, you will like it.
Shane: No can do!

Me: Come sit next to me.
Shane: No.

Me: Do you want to go out for a walk?
Shane: Nope.

Me: You don’t want to go out?
Shane: Nope. I want to stay home.

Me: Let’s get a haircut!
Shane: NOOOO!

Andrew: Korea will be so exciting! You’ll get to fly on an airplane!
Shane: I don’t want to go. I want to stay home.

Me: Do you want a lollipop?
Shane: Nope. I mean yes.

We went to Alsted Farms in Chester for some strawberry picking today. Shane started to feel better so we thought we do something fun as a family.

Shane lost so much weight and now looks so skinny… Although he seemed fine, he was not totally himself. He kept wanting to be held and asking us to take him home.

Chloe was totally into it. She loved it and was really good at spotting the perfect ones.

fruits of our labor…
