Springtime (almost) in the Park
At the first (albeit subtle) hint of spring we met up with Dave, Clio and Eleri in Prospect Park. Balls were kicked. Wood piles were climbed. Sticks were coveted. And confiscated.

Sylvie's First Trip to MoMA
While April's Saturdays are taken up with her new freelance gig, Sylvie and her dad are exploring new ways to keep out of her hair. The latest became Sylvie's first trip to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). There's a new kids program on Saturday mornings which, very typical for NYC, was soldout long before it even began. But they have a workshop area that is free and pretty much open. Some very cool activities including a rubberband/peg wall, magnets, blocks, etch-a-sketches and all kinds of drawing tools. John and Riley joined us for a good time.
Another great aspect of this area is that's it's conveniently connected directly to the second floor of MoMA-proper, which you can wander into, by complete accident of course, without paying. Luckily for Sylvie, her mother's moral compass points a little straighter than her fathers.
Here are a few pics from the day. Definitely recommend it. The sculpture garden is a great place to get some of the energy out. Just DON'T WALK ON THE IVY!

Inauguration
Here are a few images from our trip down to DC for the inauguration of Barack Obama. An historic trip (if not an easy one). Sylvie had a good time in general. zI think history will judge it a unique and incredible trip.

The Tree Tradition
Who goes to see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center on a cold weekday night with a 2 year old? We do. Why? Tradition.
Bryan is very into keeping up traditions and for us, seeing the tree in Rockefeller Center is one of them. We've gone to see the tree every year up until Sylvie was born. This year we decided to share the tradition with her. It was crazy, chaotic and annoying, but Sylvie had fun for the whole 10 minutes we were there. Alas, another family tradition is born.
