Lauren has been getting into a great routine with her new nanny, Michelle, and her new best friend, Julia. Michelle spends one week at our house, and the next at Julias. Julia and her family live about 5 blocks from us, so it’s an easy trip back and forth. As the weather has been getting nicer they’ve been spending a lot more time outside.

Last weekend we took the girls up to New York City. We did a lot of the touristy things, which we were able to see from a whole new, toddler perspective.

 Sophie got a kick out of Times Square. So many TVs! 
 We went to Central Park and watched some of the remote control boats on the lake
 And then Sophie and Dave took one of the bigger row boats out themselves. 

 Mr Mom. We actually took this huge stroller on the subway too. It was quite the scene.

On Sunday we had brunch in Jersey City with an old friend of Dave’s. From the pier you could see the Statue of Liberty (which I’m pointing out here to Sophie).

We went down to Virginia for Easter this year. It’s the first time we’ve been down there in a long while.  It was a great weekend visiting with family and friends. Sophie got to hang with the big girls when we visited with Darby, Mary & Kaylee.

Darby & Mary have pet goats and Sophie got to feed them.

Sophie and Nana dyed Easter eggs outside in the beautiful weather. Unfortunately Easter day was not so nice, but the day before was excellent and we spent as much time outside as possible.

 Sophie enjoyed a solo Easter egg hunt in the yard. It was a pretty nasty day, so it was a quick hunt.
