pages from the photo album: aunt chelsea's visit

Here she is to save the day!

 Learning the delicate art of twisting balloons into animals.

 A boy and his dog.

 Cute baby alert!

 Sunset over the Verrazano.

He was fussy.

 Visiting the 9/11 Memorial.

Touring Governor's Island.

Cooling off face-first in the playground sprinklers.

I walked into the room to find that he wanted to hold his brother but couldn't wait for someone to help situate him. (Also, they accidentally dressed like twins!)

 Garrett found another frog in New Jersey. He named this one Water Swimmer.

Daniel in profile.

Morning conversation.

 Brothers in Brooklyn.

 At Sunset Park waiting for fireworks.

 My favorite part of our view of the Macy's fireworks was that they were silhouetted against a rooftop water tower. Very Brooklyn.

 Gearing up for a quick game of catch at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

 Under the Brooklyn Bridge.

 Devouring the best chocolate ice cream in the world at Jacques Torres.

 Crawling through playground tunnels.

Smiley baby.

Look who we found stranded at JFK! None other than Aunt Bethany and the twins!

 Someone asked me if I had quadruplets. I was relieved to be able to tell her no. Four children is one thing, quads is a quite another.

Not pictured are the big smiles Daniel gave to Garrett.

The best shot I have of his W-shaped tongue pre-tongue tie clipping.

 This is the way we leave the house.

 It's a boat!

We are seriously going to miss this girl. Seriously.
