Newport Beach

I lost most of my pictures for the trip (but will hopefully get them soon), but here are the few I have of the family reunion in Newport this year:









Cyra runs away and shuns all things dirty. Ruby is chasing her with some sand and Cyra will have none of it.



The Lulu head-tilt.



She had these on for a very long time.





And then she found another pair.













We had a great trip out there. More pictures to come (hopefully?)

Summer Misc.

Lucia loves to hang on the gate and throw things out. Like keys, watches, etc.






Yes, she's drinking the water. I told her to stop.



At toys r' us in Times Square playing with the trains. Lucia was obsessed.





Snacks inside the planter.



Disaster at the zoo:



While this picture cannot accurately describe what a disaster taking the kids to the bronx zoo was on a Wednesday, it does show that I have resorted to matching outfits for the girls so as to avoid the fights in the morning about what they would both like to wear.





Riding the Ferris Wheel inside a Barbi car, which Jared convinced the kids was not actually a barbi car, but just a shopping car.



Sitting in the players' chairs at MSG watching some of our friends play a game.





Cucumbers in Goshen.





Cyra loves cucumbers. She just picks them out of the garden and eats them just like that.



She also likes brownie mix.

Summer

This is (obviously) before I cut my hair.





Marc actually throwing Harper in. Crazy.



See that yellow thing floating away? That's Lucia's pacifier. Her favorite one. She threw it in because the girl has absolutely no foresight. Seriously, she always throws her pacifiers out of her crib and then wants them back or is just curious about whether something will sink or float and will just test it out without thinking about the consequences.



Not sure if you can teach foresight to a 2 year old, but I am hoping that this sad memory stays with her.









The High Line. This place is awesome. Jared has been talking about it for years because he's just like that. Anyway, we went to go see it when it opened up and it definitely met expectations. It's such a cool design and the view is great.
