Irvington Park - Sept 14






Since we'll be living in Irvington, NY starting Oct 1st, we were excited to head over there and check it out and we found this great park! It is right on the Hudson river - very scenic. Nia really likes climbing - better than the slides these days. She is a great climber, but makes her Mom and Dad nervous sometimes.

Video - See why we get nervous when she climbs

Nia and Sadie live at the Plaza - September 13




We arrived safely, after 5 days of driving, in Stamford, CT. We are staying temporarily at the Stamford Plaza, so like Eloise, Nia and Sadie live at the (Stamford) Plaza.

Road trip to NY - Wisconsin Dells - September 10






We started our road trip cross country; driving from Minneapolis to NY (well, actually Stamford, CT where we'll be staying temporarily). Our first stop was in the Wisconsin Dells for some swimming. Nia loves to swim and can swim independently, with the help of her floatie swimsuit.

Last Day in Minneapolis - September 9



The moving truck came yesterday. Last night we said "See you later" to lots of our Minneapolis friends. Today we said goodbye to our Kinderberry teachers and friends. Then we said goodbye to our house and headed off in our cars for our new adventure in New York!!

Grandma & Papa Visit - August 28





Grandma & Papa have also come to visit and they've been a big help with packing and yard work. That's Papa behind the towel in the second picture - he was hiding b/c he'd just finished doing lots of trimming on the bushes.

We're Moving to NY! & Nana visits to help us pack - August 22




It's official - Daddy got a job offer from Pepsi Co in Purchase, NY and we'll be moving! Nana has come for a visit to help us get packed up. Nana took Nia to the park so Mommy &
Daddy would have more time to get things done. Since it was just the two of them, Nana isn't actually in any of the pictures (oh no!), but we can tell they had lots of fun!!
