Be Thankful

11.25.2013

I put up my one and only holiday decoration today! Before Charley was born, I made a holiday banner for each holiday. Here is the thanksgiving one! When I had Charley I wasn't quite done with them and so my mom helped me finish them! I love how they all turned out and it is nice to have at least one decoration up! They are perfect for a small apt. with no storage because they fold up snug and small!
 This weekend was another success! I made a bucket-list for things we want to do in NYC and a restaurant bucket-list. I think it will take us about 2 years to get everything done, but I'm excited to start to slowly check things off! We are going to try to do something each Saturday we are here.. come visit and you can check some things off with us!
 This weekend, we walked the Highline and it was amazing! It's this really cool old railroad line that they have re-vamped into a linear park. It's a mile long and you can walk along it and see cool street art, plants and flowers they have planted and NYC from above. It has some great views! We then made our way to Chelsea Market, which is a must if you are visiting New York. There are tons of restaurants, shops and art. It reminded me a lot of Pike Place Market in Seattle. Lastly, we went to Macy's to buy Spence a nice warm (but trendy) coat and we succeeded! Macy's is the one of the world's largest department stores and is 10 levels and covers a block and half!

Charley was a champ. It was pretty cold, but we bundled her up and she did great!
On my run the other day, I had to snap a few pics of Brooklyn. I love the brownstone apartments that line the streets and the beautiful fall colors that are out!
 
 I am thankful for bath time when I get to see this cute little nugget! I love her cottage cheese on her bum and her smooth skin! Bath time is just about my favorite time of the day! It's second to when Spencer is done with work and comes out of our bedroom (his home office)!:) When we were in Utah, I would always jump on him when he came through the door after work, so the other day he pretended like he was coming home from work and went outside our apartment and then opened the door and came inside so I could jump on him.. love him! :)

  1. You are having fun adventures in NY. I can hardly wait to come visit so you can show us the best of NYC. Sad to have you so far away but happy for the time you have to experience the big apple.
