Chis and Shawn's wedding

We had a wonderful time at Chris and Shawn's wedding- Henry did a splendid job walking down the aisle with daddy. Congratulations- the wedding was beautiful!

Cool Cookie Monster

Henry makes cookies for the first time- yummy walnut-cranberry-oat cookies (he wasn't that helpful...kept wanting to eat the batter just like his dad)

Oops! Caught in the act at bedtime!

Looking cool at Ella's house in Brooklyn

After a messy bath- what a cheeky chappy

This weekend we went to the NY Transit Museum in Brooklyn. Henry has just begun a fascination with trains and buses and really enjoyed climbing onto the bus, pretending to drive it, and run around all the old subway trains. Yes, I said run. Henry was a really late walker but now he is catching up with everyone else; walking, turning, spinning, clapping and dancing. He is really enjoying his new independence. Bryan and I realise that he is going to give us a good workout around the house now!

Spring?

Today we enjoyed a beautiful spring day (with temperatures in the upper 60s!) so we went out in to the park for a long bike ride. As you can see, there are still a few patches of snow on the ground. Earlier in the week, we got about 8-10 inches overnight which made New York look beautiful, but it was really freezing... Today, everyone was out cycling and jogging in the park. Henry enjoyed being on the bike again and saw some horses, lots of dogs and geese which made him happy.
