We’re all beat from a long day of traveling back home to San Francisco – more tomorrow…
Safe to say, New York wiped Maile and Mommy out!

Papa Mike can't take his eyes of Maile Girl (yes, it's harder to get a Grandpa to look at the camera, then a 2 year old 
On Sunday, Grandma Jill and Papa Mike came in from Boston to join us in NYC and have fun with Maile while Daddy and Mommy worked on Monday and Tuesday. We need to get all the pictures from Papa, but they had a bunch of adventures all over the city – they hit the flower show at Macy’s, a kid’s play space that had a tree house, John’s Pizza, Shack Shake, FAO Schwartz, shopping down in Soho. Rumor has it Grandma Jill is going to take Maile Girl over to the MOMA tomorrow morning before we all jump on a plane and head back home.
Maile is a lucky girl that in the span of one week she got to see both her grandparents (even though they live on opposite sides of the United States!)

We’ve been staying in a very tiny hotel room for the past few days and Maile is loving all the quality time she is getting with her Mommy (especially) and Daddy. (Meanwhile, her Mommy and Daddy are “mostly” loving it… getting Maile to sleep without being able to leave the room has been the biggest challenge.)
There is no bath tub in our hotel room, so Maile has been taking a shower just like Mommy. And that means putting her hair in a towel just like Mommy. And wearing the same pajamas. If Maile wasn’t 3 feet shorter, I’d say I was living with twins!
Same Same

We’re in NYC this week for our annual visit. We’ve had some great adventures already and I’ll be sharing more over the next few days. I decided to use this trip as an opportunity to play around with Instagram. Definitely forces you to think a bit more artistically about photography. It’s been a fun experiment so far – here are some examples.

Long time readers might recall that last July we took Maile on a merry-go-round … and that first trip didn’t really go very well.
Apparently, the second times a charm for merry-go-rounds. On Monday, Grandma Gail and Papa Cal took Maile to Golden Gate Park Carousel and she absolutely rocked it!
Maile Girl chose the giraffe, of course - one of her favorites!
Look at that brave face!

Grandma Gail and Maile made Easter cards today using a potato(?!). They came out beautifully – here’s one she made for Christine and I.

Now I know where Christine gets her creative genes from! Thanks Grandma Gail!

When I woke up on Friday morning, guess who was there to see me? Grandma Gail and Papa Cal! And you know what happens when Papa Cal is around? Yep, that’s right – ice cream for Maile Girl!
Mommy and I took Papa Cal up to one of our favorite ice cream spots. I think he liked it because he finished his whole cup and his was way bigger than mine!

When Mommy dropped Maile off at school the other day, Maile showed her the new writing sheets she’s been working on. Mommy and Maile worked through it a bit – Mommy wrote out “Tomato” and Maile took on “Broccoli” (since broccoli is one of her favorite foods). See below for how she did…
Maile can't decide whether she wants to eat the broccoli or spell it!
What do you think - can we count that as Maile's first 'B'?

Daddy had to work late last night. I was sad about that. But tonight Daddy came home at the regular time! I put him right to work – we played hide and seek for awhile and then we colored. I told Daddy we should color on the same sheet of paper – luckily Daddy is a bit bigger than me, so he colored on the top and I did the bottom.
Daddy, you're squishing me!
Not pointing any fingers, but Daddy was the one who was using the blue marker!
