a couple weeks ago, we rented a minivan and airbnb and headed to boston for the week. it was pretty awesome. the city was very walkable and there were a ton of kid friendly activities nearby. we were also able to catch up with a  couple old friends (becky and kelly).
full recap of our trip can be seen/downloaded here!

summer has flown by! bailey enjoyed her time at the YMCA camp and bryn continued her 2s/3s class at appleseeds. she also took "ballet" (yes, there are quotes around ballet). almost every friday, i was able to take bryn (and on occasion bailey) on special dates. we went to sony wonder technology, fao schwartz, central park zoo, new playgrounds, a nypl exhibit, the plaza, and more! i can't believe summer is almost over and bailey is going to start kindergarten. CRAZY!

on the same weekend of grandma carol's wedding, cooper (aka homeboy) lam lillvis was baptized at all angels church. it went off without a hitch as homeboy didn't even cry.

uncle john, aunt denise and uncle sam were on hand to once again fulfill their duties as godparents.

we then celebrated at a lovely luncheon nearby at fish tag.

ooof! it's been a little while since i posted. as you might imagine, things have been a little… um, shall we say… BUSY! on july 12. 2014, grandma carol tied the knot to the dashing richard chen in a small, intimate ceremony at riverside church in new york city. bailey and bryn were the AMAZING and somewhat out-of-control flower girls. apparently bailey went first, dropping her flowers from her basket like a pro while brynny picked up those very petals that bailey dropped to put back into her basket. OH BRYNNY! gotta love her! meanwhile a very loud cooper stayed for a brief part of the ceremony before being ushered out for a walk. he was dashing in his handsome tuxedo (first time, poor guy has worn shoes in his almost 1-yr of life).

the weekend was beautiful and special and pretty perfect. a handful of family and friends partied hardy at the national after the ceremony. then grandma carol was off on her whirlwind honeymoon around the world.
