New York, New York

(AKA, major picture overload!)

It's always a lot of fun when we have family come to visit us up here in CT, even more fun when we get to all go to New York City together. This past weekend Aunt Angie (Matthew's sister) came to visit. She landed in NYC Thursday evening and Elijah and Matthew were there to pick her up. Together they drove into the city and had pizza at our favorite NYC pizzeria and then went to the top of the Empire State Building! I know they had so much fun, I was home with Sophia since we didn't think she would enjoy the trip. It was a good thing too, because they got in very late that night.

Friday the weather here was gorgeous and warm, for once! We took Angie all around the Yale campus, a museum, a few libraries and the Divinity School.

My new favorite family pic!

  Saturday was, of course, the main attraction. We all got up fairly early to catch the 8:52 train into Grand Central!

A rare picture of all four of us, on the train.

Next stop, Grand Central Terminal!

At FAO Swartz

(On a side note: when we got to FAO there was a very shiny limo parked outside and a few camera men, everyone was speculating on who was inside. Turns out it was Kate Gosselin from TLC. I didn't see her since I had gone inside already, but Angie and Matthew did.)
