Buffalo adventure!

This weekend we all went to Buffalo, NY for Tiffnay and Jake's wedding.We had a pretty smooth trip up and the wedding was a blast. Tiff and Jake put together a great day and Nellie danced the night away.

Today is Father's Day and we spent the day at Niagara Falls in both USA and Canada. It was so beautiful and fun. We rode on The Maid of the Mist which goes right up to the falls where you get completely soaked. We made sure that our passports got stamped but to my disappointment, they no longer have the words Niagara Falls on the stamp like they did when I was last here in 1999.

Right now I am typing this on my work Blackberry at Buffalo airport. Our flight was due to take off at 6:05pm and get us in at 8:05pm. It is currently 8:29pm! Our flight may now leave at 10:45pm! Gotta love that JetBlue.

Tiffany is also still here. Her flight was due to fly earlier than ours. She is flying out again in the morning to begin her honeymoon. Fingers crossed that she makes it!

After some overheating and teething issues, Nellie has crashed out in her stroller. I am getting a little jealous of her horizontalness.

Nellie had her second last class on Saturday. She is wearing one of her new birthday outfits (yellow - my favourite). There is no class over the summer so we will have to find a new engaging activity to spur us out of bed on Saturday mornings!

Nellie and Brooklyn Public Library



We have started going to the newly renovated Brooklyn Public Library this past fortnight after class on Saturdays. If you haven't been there before, it is a beautiful building next to Prospect Park opposite Grand Army Plaza.

As book junkies, Mark and I are delighted we reignited our passion for the library.

This photo is from the Children's area of the library. Nellie wouldn't let Mark hold the book for her. As you can see, she has a pretty good handle on the whole reading thing!
