Grammy visits NYC

My mom came out to visit us and help me out when Dan went back to the office. I was thrilled to have my mom visit us. It is hard to live so far away now with wanting the kids to know their family. Also a side note, I think that this is the longest that I have had my mom all to myself.

She flew in on a Saturday afternoon/evening and we ordered Indian food and chatted up a storm staying up way too late. Sunday morning we picked up yummy breakfast treats and headed to the Ramble in Central Park for a stroll.

That afternoon we went down to Soho. We stopped at a yarn shop and a Pandora shop and a famous bakery (the cronuts were sold out but the other thing I got that is similar was super delicious).

I was a little unsure how Jaime would be with having an unfamiliar face staying with us but he fell in love with his Grammy. It was very cute. He would be so sweet for her and snuggle up and be nice and calm for doing craft projects.

We visited the dinos at the history museum. All of my pictures are blurry.

We went to lunch at my favorite cafe. We also went to our favorite sandwich shop a couple of times. We went to Starbucks often. Jaime got a hot cider and muffin and thought that was pretty special. He looks like such a baby here. I thought he was such a big kid at the time and now I can't believe how little he was!

We went to the World Trade Center but skipped the statue of liberty and lunch down there to power back home as it was freaking freezing!

We went up to the Bronx to see the Orchid show at the Botanical Gardens. It was a little bit more of a handful than I thought it would be but it was still a good time.

We walked alway down to Lincoln Center to buy Ellie and Jaime super cute clothes. Thanks Mom!!! We went to music class. We did tummy time and hung out and played with the dinos that Mom bought Jaime.

We had such a great time with my mom and I am so thankful that she was able to come out and spend a whole week with us.

We were all sad to see her head for home. I loved getting to have some bonding time with her and to see the kids get to spend time with her. Jaime would ask where she was when he woke up in the morning for a while, it was pretty cute. It was a very special week.
