A family grows in Brooklyn

It's been a busy and tiring few weeks for us.

After saying goodbye to Josh and Melanie - our last visitors - by having them do dangerous, adrenaline-raising tricks, we said goodbye to Jay and Linda by, apparently, having them raise our adrenaline levels.

We said goodbye to the playground by their place by having Elizabeth scrawl "E waz here" all over the place and try to steal the sand (little did she know our new home would also have sand ... Coney Island pictures below).

We said goodbye to our apartment.

And we said goodbye to my work ... or at least the birds on the roof of my work via the spout. We also practiced calisthenics, which would no doubt come in handy by keeping us flexible during our move.

We finally said goodbye to all of Elizabeth's favorite European foods ... wild blackberries, paella, and ... well ... corn.

And then, after a flight and a too-short weekend with Gigi and Grandpa, we were in Brooklyn, where we set off to find a new home.



And new playgrounds...

And new ... American ... food, including mangos.

And Nathan's hotdogs.

And bagels.
