28!

As long as I have this blog I will continue to record and celebrate all my kids birthdays and today my first born baby girl turns 28! I like to keep her life private as she is on her own but just wanted to wish her a happy birthday and hope that she continues to love her life and live it in a way that is joyful and peaceful. She loves the city and in honor of her remembering her I am sharing a couple of photos! Happy birthday sweet Sierra! Keep smiling!

Still Christmas-y And Twinkling At Hudson Yards.

 

Even though it's a new year NYC is still twinkling at Hudson yards with their holiday decor inside the shopping mall as well as outside with these cute little trees. Noah constantly is reminded of the Hobbit or Lord of the rings every time we see a bundle of trees. He has such an active imagination and wish that I still had that resilience and ability to daydream or just "pretend" that I'm somewhere else where life seems easier but then I stop and look around and am a pretty happy camper as to where I'm living my life. 

Cow Parade In NYC!

It's been over a month since Lexie's been home and I still can't believe that the past 16 months flew by. I still feel as if she's on a mission and I am doing my best to ease her back into civilization. 

The first place we went to was of course the city. She missed NYC so much and as soon as we can see the skyline from the turnpike she uttered, "it's so pretty!" She totally missed it and we are so happy to have her home. It was a perfect day and perfect timing to come here because 21 years ago we ventured out to the city for the first time and I immediately fell in love with it. I was drawn by the architecture, museums, and public art. Especially these cow sculptures which were displayed all over the city. 

AND NOW THEY’RE BACK! 

I was so excited to show Lexie and when we heard there were some at Hudson Yards we went and reenacted these pics without having her sit on the cow (not a baby anymore) lol and took a few photos standing next to one. There are so many cow sculptures and we even saw some in Brooklyn. They are all so unique and cool looking designed from various artists that include celebrities such as Neil Patrick Harris. So glad we were able to reenact these moments and look back on some old pics and to have gone to the cow parade. They are no longer on display but we hope it doesn't take another 21 years for them to return!
