Happy New Year!!














































Who doesn't love a parade? We went with some great friends to see the parade in Flushing (Chinatown) today. This one isn't as big as the one in Chinatown in NYC but it was certainly easier to get to with small children. All the kids seem to have a blast and it was a great afternoon!

I know it has been many months since I posted. So much time has passed and the girls have kept me very busy. We have celebrated the holidays, Valentine's day, Chinese New Year and have had a ton of fun. We are lucky to live in an area where there are some large Chinese New Year celebrations and we are going to go to one of the parades tomorrow with some of our amazing friends. Zoe was happy to dance on stage at Chinese school ( and Jordyn was happy not to do that). I had the pleasure of spending the whole last week with Jordyn by ourselves. We went into the city a couple of times and I love that she knows which subway to take. We went to Max Brenner's place ( the chocolate bald guy) definately one of my new favorite places as well as visited her Uncle Darrin and her Dad at work. I was lucky to receive a card this morning that had a picture of the two of us on the cover, both smiling with flowers and lots of hearts and a big I love you inside ( this is huge people!!) Sometimes I can't tell if she's happy to spend the alone time with me but apparently she was. Today her class had a bowl a thon for Haiti and the newspaper came to do a story on the kids. Jordyn was so happy she actually smiled and let the photographer take her picture.I can't wait to see the article. Thank you to all my friends and family who donated!!
