No. 61

24 NEW PICS...

3 in one post today, last night, and last month in NY.

OMG OMG OMG- Today we have been Cupcake's parents for ONE YEAR!!! It is a very Happy Valentine's Day in our household. If you are looking for MUSHY TEARS go to "Our Adoption Journey." This blog is about our life together. So many friends, places, and fun things to tell...

This photo is Cupcake SCREAMING "Love you Mama" before we left for school today

Last night Cupcake's school had Pajama Night. All the kids left school around 5 and came back at 6:30. Each classroom had am activity. her room is the "Bakery" so they decorated cookies but I was having so much fun I forgot to take pictures. The #2 had cars & trucks tatoos. Then there was a playdoh , sand box, stampers, cars & mats, and doorhangers & signs, obstacle course. Finally, the story telling rooom (the library) with a real Curious George & Clifford the Red Dog.







Finally, The BIG BUBBLE BATH to wrap up a perfect night!!!




Number 3...Our first train ride to NY. See all of hte SUperstars we hung out with in The Big Apple. Special guests include Baby L, Monkey Girl, The Czar, and Cupcake!
We played with Mr. Lizard & Mr. Frog for 2.5 hours. Cupcake even shared her Teddy Grahams with them.


When we arrived in the City we took a taxi to visit Monkey Girl & Susan


A quick visit to the Children's Museum since they are closing in 30 minutes...we will be back!!! How cool Monkey Girl's neighbor is THE CHILDREN"S MUSEUM!
Two days later we returned for a double date with Baby L & THE Czar


The boys finished their project and back to The Children's museum we all went....

They all loved the indoor playground...




Learning the power of AIR really interested Cupcake
THE Czar took Cupcake for a ride on a MTA bus (limo next time, please...)
Baby L & Cupcake found the Sand Station ...
This was my all time favorite. A life size Lite Bright board. Did you love Lite Bright when you were a child. All four kids liked the lights!

The worst part for the girls was leaving....

It looks like they all had so much fun! It's great to live near such a great CITY!

Very cute pics.

Yay...finally! We had such a good time, and I love the pics. (And how strange to see my living room featured on someone else's blog!)

Can't wait for the next group playdate!

BIG CONGRATULATIONS on your 1 year anniversary!! Can you believe it's already been a year?!

I can hardly remember life without my girls and for me it's hard to believe we've been home only six weeks. They've grown and changed so much in that time... it's like "fast forward"!
