I have waited too long to put the descriptions/ captions to these photographs; sorry! but time is taking me away from everything – as usual! Anyways, these were taken a few weeks a month ago when we went out walking in the city. Coincidentally it was Tartan Day so we had the opportunity to celebrate the Scottish bag pipes and celtic dance parade with merriment!
Petra Ava on daddy’s shoulder showing off her pride and joy Scottish flag – yes she’s a quarter Scottish and a quarter Irish thanks to David
And Nadya Anne didn’t miss her chance either.
A picture of the paraders in their kilts!
They were throwing Scottish shortbread cookies from these double deckers.
We had some yummy Gyro Sandwich; I swear this guy had the best gyro stand in town
Mmmmmmn yummy, can you just smell it?
You can find him here 6th Ave and C Hendy’s street
We later went to Central Park for a picnic with our food. We really had a great time!
Here’s a series of photos I took while at the park just observing and absorbing everything around me, trees, people, architecture, sights and smell…
And of course the horseman and his carriage
We walked by the garment district and I wanted to capture Calvin Klein
Or at least a sculpture of him with my loved ones posing by
David and the girls on our way to Rockefeller Plaza
And more pics at Times Square
We haven’t had any chance to take photos of the children during the move. We were busy putting up our previous home for sale, packing up, relocation paperwork as well as travel for house hunting trips.
These photos however were taken last week after the children’s daily bath; we were actually getting ready to go grocery shopping.
Petra Ava who recently turned 3 trailing behind big sister 4 year old Nadya Anne and playing with 3 month old Baby Lola.
I have to say this is one of the more blissful moments we have in between juggling attention seeking tots. There is always something to cater to every 5 minutes or so. Since blissful moments are rare, I tend to cherish them more than other times although I try my very best to cherish every moment I can especially when I get a break and after some much needed sleep!
In another 2 weeks Lola Christiane will turn 4 months old. Meanwhile, she’s learning how to smile and giggle. She’s very good at expressing herself especially when we talk to her about her day. Of course she doesn’t talk back but she acknowledges that we’re giving her the attention and gets quite excited about it.
It’s been hard to take photos of a baby that sleeps most of the day, now that she’s a little older we get to snap photos more often than before.
And then she starts rubbing her eyes, yawn and indicate to us with a fussy cry that she wants her nap back! OK, little Princess go beddy bye now. Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
More waterfront photos and updates — Our weekend haunts – The Park!
The best NYC Skyline view actually is from Maxwell Place, it is also one of my favorite routes to go for a run; very scenic and peaceful.
Another great angle shot from the park across from Maxwell’s
And another skyline view from the edge of the water
On the North side, is a wide angle view of Maxwell Place and next up is the Shipyard community
A closer look at Maxwell Place, some still under construction
A view of the playground in front of Maxwell Place, great place for kids’ playdates
