Jodi and Jay Visit

We had an amazing day with Jodi and Jay visiting downtown Princeton and New Hope, PA. It was sunny and in the 70’s, quite warm for March. After a cold winter with lots of snow, we were all eager to spend the day outside walking through towns, people-watching, and perusing the shops. Miranda was happy to sleep in the mei tai the whole time we walked through both towns, but was quite miserable traveling in the car. We’ve since switched her into the convertible car seat (as opposed to the bucket) and she seems happier.

Natalie was cooperative all day despite lots of walking, no nap, and a late dinner. On the way to dinner (around 7:30 pm) she started to get a little cranky and we feared a meltdown in the restaurant. But she’s such a trooper that waited patiently in her chair for her pasta, then ate it by herself with no issues whatsoever. With a little energy from eating, she entertained the adults by dancing to the music playing overhead. She even went to bed without protest once we got home.

Miranda’s First Art Opening

Natalie attended her first opening when she was almost 5 months, and Miranda was lucky enough to do the same at just 6 weeks. And lucky for all of us, Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Ray and Great Grandma came to visit NJ and we got to spend the day with them before going to the gallery (where we saw more family!).
