Miss you Daddy!

Waiting Patiently

Tonight while I ran Connor's bath he grabbed a book and sat on his stepstool reading while he waited. I caught a great smile!

Girls Visit

This past weekend Jessica and Stacy drove up from Maryland for a visit. It was so nice to have the extra company while Andrew is away and I think Connor really liked having new friends to play with!

The gang in Central Park on Saturday.

Afterwards we had lunch outside, always great for some people watching.

Stacy broke her sunglasses but Connor wanted to wear them anyway.

Connor hanging with Puppy and Aunt Stacy before bedtime.

I got a babysitter for Saturday night so I could show the ladies a proper night out on the town. I so love a night out with the girls!

Thanks so much for making the trip!!

Andrew and Carter

We're half way through Andrew's trip to Tokyo and I'm happy to say we're doing well. One thing Andrew was looking forward to about his stay in Tokyo was the chance to visit with Melanie, Jason and Carter (Connor's original BFF!). He went over to their place for an early dinner on Sat. night so that he could hang with Carter a bit before his bedtime. Melanie sent me these pics which I thought were awfully cute. It's been tough for Andrew to be away from Connor for so long so I think it was fun for him to see Carter in action for a few hours. I wish that Connor and I could have been there too!

Beautiful Day at the Park

Not surprising- but Connor already has a couple of girlfriends here in NYC. It was a beautiful morning so we met up with them and their moms at the park.

Here he is in the sandbox with Hayley, who he most definitely has a crush on. He loves to give her lots of hugs and kisses! She is a sweet little girl too- Mom approves!

I love this picture. I was trying to capture him hugging his other new gal pal Claire but I caught the proud aftermath instead. He was totally blushing!

Connor dug the great views of the East river and 59th St. bridge.


Connor spots a taxi. Have I mentioned his love of taxis? Since we see so many of them here in NYC he will often have one arm up in the air for much of our walks.

Occasionally he gets confused. He once tried to hail a yellow school bus and another time (very embarrassingly) an overweight man wearing a yellow jacket. Oh well!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Yesterday was Andrew's birthday! We had a really fun weekend. Saturday night we went out to dinner at one of our favorite neighborhood wine bars. Sunday morning we had a big "birthday breakfast" complete with cupcakes. In my opinion there's nothing better than cupcakes at breakfast time :)
Dinner Saturday night:


Sadly, Andrew had to leave for Tokyo just after breakfast. Unfortunately while his plane was in the air there was a plane crash at the airport that he was to fly into, closing the runways. He was rerouted to Sapporo where he's currently waiting to connect to Haneda airport (also in Tokyo). This has made a really long day of traveling a whole lot longer. I'm just waiting to hear that he's arrived safely at his hotel. I don't like when he travels!
Miss you already Daddy! Come home soon!!


Update: Andrew has finally arrived in Tokyo and went straight to a bar to meet one of his coworkers for a much needed drink!
