Welcome to NYC!

More NY pics...




We were surprised to find a parade to celebrate Hispanic Heritage. It was our lucky day!

The Big Apple

Katie drove us into the city for a day of sightseeing and we had so much fun! She found a deal online for a parking garage right off of 5th avenue ($30 for the whole day) which put us right next to FAO Schwartz.






The floor piano from Big (you know, the one Tom Hanks played) is here and we got to watch a show. I tried to rotate the video, but couldn't figure out how. Please excuse the funky angle!

Tubby Time!

The girls had a great time in the tub...even though Caroline hogged it. She also loved Nat's princesses...especially chewing on them. =)

Pumpkins

We decided to pick up a few pumpkins for the girls to carve. Well, for us to carve and for them to enjoy. =)
Caroline wasn't a fan at first...

but perked up and had fun!


Nick made apple slinkies when we got home

Look at the size of those apples!

Caroline was a big help while carving the pumpkins

However, one of them wasn't feeling so hot and got sick on the table. =)

Apple Picking

We headed to Indian Ladder Farm on Saturday to go apple picking. I'd never had Dunkin' Donuts before, so we stopped on the way and picked up coffee and donuts (move over, Starbucks!). It was chilly, but the apples were plentiful and the scenery was breathtaking! Thanks to Nick and Katie for taking us!

Big Family Feast

Katie's mom organized and cooked a big family feast while we were there. The Moshiers (Tim's sister Lauren and neice included), the McKees (Ali, too!) and the Suhrs were all there. On our way, we stopped at the cemetary to visit Timmy. His spot was beautiful!


After our visit we went to the grocery store and picked up a Mrs. Smith's apple pie in Tim's honor. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't get many pics during dinner...we were all too busy enjoying each other's company! I did, however get pics of the desserts. There was Tim's apple pie, cannolis and whoopie pies (both of which I'd never had). Man, oh man were they good! =)



Yes, Caroline had some, too. =)

Brrrrrr

It was a bit chilly in NY and Caroline got to wear her new coat (THANKS BRIAN AND KATIE!) I think she looks a bit like Paddington Bear. Cute, dontcha think?

Tumbling Tots

Friday in NY was a rainy one, so we weren't able to venture outside. Instead, we took the girls to Tumbling Tots to burn off some energy. They had a great time! I need to find a place like this down here...



I know its a bit blurry, but I loved her facial expression...she LOVED bouncing on the trampoline!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Caroline and I flew to Albany, NY last week to visit our dear friends Katie and Natalie (ok, and Nick, too). =) The trip was long as the airline routed us all over the stinkin' country, but Caroline was a fabulous traveler. She especially liked the turbulence and had so much fun playing peek-a-boo with one of the flight attendants. =)

Playing Catch-up Again...

We Cryer girls have been very busy lately! I will be posting quite a bit over the next several days, but here's an update:

Caroline is 13 months old now! She's a sweet little chatterbox who is now walking all over the place. She has a very healthy appetite and still loves to sleep. She's got 6 teeth and is working on more. She's a friendly little thing and we stay busy each week with story times, music time and playdates with our neighbors.

Ryan has been gone for about 5 days shy of 6 months. The time has passed by very quickly, but we are so excited to see him next month for R&R! I can't wait for him to see how much our little girl has grown. =)

Here's a little video clip of one of Caroline's first days toddling around. Enjoy!
