Cedric Photos

What a cutie! Amke and Niels seem like such natural parents. We are so happy we made it to Holland to see everyone.

Back from Holland

We flew back Friday night from our week long trip to Holland to see Erik's family. We had a wonderful time! We met our adorbale nephew Cedric (who looked very sporty in his New York Yankees onesie), saw some lovely spring tulips, celebrated Queen's Day and much more. Took a bazillion photos and hope to get them posted shortly. The weather was perfect the entire week, not a drop of rain.

Weekend Rundown

Lovely weekend! Saw lots of friends, went to a Mets game (they won too!), The Cooper Hewitt Museum, Central Park, and Astoria. We were outside for most of the weekend, so I finally feel like this is one Spring that is not going to pass me by. Usually, I see the first blooms on the trees and before you know it it's 90 degrees. Having a picnic in Central Park under the cherry blossoms was a perfect way to celebrate the season. The kitties made it out on the deck to enjoy the weather too. And one of my favorite perennials came back again this year. I've had this seedum (I think that's the name) since 2000 and it came from the greenhouse I use to work at in Louisville. I've managed to drag it around to all of my old apartments.

Thursday stuff

Sitting at home. Can hardly believe another week has already flown by. Just spent over an hour browsing through myspace. it always happens that you find one friend from high school and then they are linked with all of these other people from high school that you sort of remember, but it's hard to tell if it's them after eight years. And then you add these people as your friends even though you may never see or speak with them again. Myspace is a funny place.

Check out the photos of the construction next door. It's finally going up. Hard to tell what it will look like. It would be a great thing if the city required renderings to be posted on the outside of all constructions sites. I gues we'll be surprised.

And it looks like I have some competition at home from the other photos.

Broadway Photos

Epic Broadway Walk

Yesterday, Kathy H., Erik and I walked the entire length of Manhattan along Broadway. We started around 11:30am and ended around 8pm. We made a few stops along the way and walked 13 miles in all by the end of the day. We were limping on the final stretch from City Hall to Battery Park, but it was totally worth it. Henry joined us at Union Square and showed us the very quaint Stone Street downtown. I took lots of photos and will post them later.

Double Congratulations!

Very exciting news! Simone and David gave birth to a lovely baby girl on Friday. I saw some pictures from Henry and she looks just adorable. Can't wait to meet her.

And more exciting news! Josephine was awarded a one year grant to paint/study in Paris. She's graduating from Columbia next month and now has this really exciting opportunity to look forward to. Can't wait to visit her there too!
