Spring sprang

Back in the beginning of time, aka April, Randy and Gillian came for a visit. During their visit we went to the American Museum of Natural History, 

enjoyed lunch in Central Park,

and checked out the water views in Bay Ridge.

After they left, Elizabeth built a towering tower,

and celebrated her half birthday.

In early May, Henry explored his artistic side,

Elizabeth showed off her posing,

both kids caught up on their reading,

Elizabeth and I started a new workout regimen,

we ate at the new and improved (post fire) Casa Calamari,

and Justin finally cut those front hedges.

We also took a trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the cherry blossom festival (the trees were post blossom) where Elizabeth was amazed by the beauty

and the soft leaves,

Henry showed off his new "sniffing" skills,

we failed at taking a picture of me with the kids,

and Elizabeth was thrilled to catch sight of a bridal couple.
