Family Visit & NYC

Andrew made his annual trip to the New York Book Fair this week. Most years someone from the Richards clan comes East during this time, and this year was no exception!
The first full day that Grandma Richards, Aunt Mia, Tia (aka Aunt Natalie), and cousin Lincoln were around, we all went into the city then had lunch:Once we got home it was nap time. After the nap, however, the kiddos wanted to play together (in Nora's crib)!


Kissin' Cousins!

The next day I pulled out the Wii and we played Just Dance. You score points by following (dancing) along as a character dances on screen to different songs:


Later that afternoon, I headed to NYC to spend a couple of nights away from the apt. I didnt take many pictures. Here are some shots from the roof of our hotel:

Andrew, ready for the book fair!
I woke up feeling and looking exhausted (despite 8 hours of sleep!). I recommended Andrew just take a photo of my legs.

A favorite place of the little ones
Cousins, hanging out

Grandma gave Ella her watch to play with

Nora had a different idea. She was clearly proud.

Pretty girl!
Not even Mama can make them happy all the time
Last night together: waiting for our table a a restaurant

Finally seated:
Nora didnt eat much. But she did eat a lemon. The whole thing. Grandpa Richards would be proud!
Lincoln happily ate
Ella was telling a fantastic story, and Lincoln just couldnt believe it!
Ella trying out the straw
All the grandbabies together = a happy Grandma!
