Simple Summer Moments In Brooklyn.

Our love for the city continues to grow especially in Dumbo and after being away from her for three weeks we couldn't stay away. Especially during the summer. Oh summer in the city. No matter how sticky our clothes get on our backs while wearing masks in 98 degree weather doesn't seem to bother us anymore. And we don't mind. We don't mind because we know this is how New York is healing. We don't mind because we know it's what saved thousands of people including us. We know it's what's going to continue to keep us safe. She is thriving under the sun trying hard to breath with us. She may never be the same again. Ever. But I know that she is slowly surging just like the New Yorkers that surround her. 

Spending the day in Brooklyn with the kids yesterday was the best. Everything about that day was meant to be. Ice cream cones and root beer floats. Facetiming with Lexie whilst sitting on a bench at Brooklyn Bridge park where she can see the views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. And although it brought a little bit of homesickness to her face she was happy. Happy that we continue to thrive as humans just as New York does. Happy that nothing stops us from coming to the city and doing the things we love. Happy because she sees us filled with joy and seeing Noah being the typical little bro that he is always brings a smile to her face. And she laughs. We are so happy for these simple moments that we had all while keeping our distance and being safe. Summers in Dumbo is all we need to keep these kids smiling. 

Even while wearing a mask....
