Where we live.

The "H" is for Hughes.

For those who haven't made it out to visit us, this is where we live. This is our apartment building. We live on the 4th floor in the back left corner. These are pictures from across the street, and another looking down the street.

Children's Museum of Manhattan

The coolest place to play on cold days! This is our new favorite. Honestly I've never seen a museum like it.

Mary's first Birthday Party (for Alex)

Mary just went to her first birthday party for her friend Alex. He lives just across the street. Here are a few pictures of her making her way there. She walked the whole way carrying his present. (Very cute.)


(She may have dropped it a few times.)

Mary goes to the museum a lot because it's free and a big space to walk around, and she is now starting to notice that there's stuff in it. Her favorite thing is other children, but she liked the Asian Wild Dog too.

Getting so BIG!

Playing in Central Park. What a great day! Dan's birthday, 60 degrees and sunny! I think Mary discovered her shadow today. She started laughing and clapping, then we noticed she was watching her shadow. It was so much fun. We played with our shadows all afternoon.

Mary's first pigtails, yes, very small. And new shoes. The shoes were Dan's when he was little. They are so cute. They go "clippity-clap, clippity-clap".

A big girl! And proud of it.
