a few weeks ago

When Abigail and Steven and Ezra last came to visit, we went to the Brooklyn Museum and saw this show of El Anatsui at the Brooklyn Museum. I like going anywhere with Abigail and Steven and Ezra.

eating away the weekend in Brooklyn

This weekend we had a short and sweet visit from Abigail and Steven, who brought us this cookbook I've always wanted to own (thank you!) We managed to eat at two of the restaurants in it this trip (Vanderbilt, Brooklyn Larder), and realized we've been to five others together over the years - Al Di La, Locanda Vini e Olii, The Good Fork,  Flatbush Farm, and The Farm on Adderley. 15 more to go!

Steven and Abigail were also so gracious as to accompany us to Jackson's first Little League T-ball game (see below), and Parade down 7th Avenue, a few playgrounds, some quality time in the backyard with the bouncy house, and Cade was the happy recipient of lots of story books read by his god-mama. :)

just lovely

Abigail went and did it again, knitting this beautiful, soft little gray blanket for Cade. Remember this beautiful blanket?? I had mentioned to her that Jackson had recently started sleeping with it, and calling it his own, so she knit Cade this beautiful replacement. Cade loves it. Here he is modeling it:

Thank you, Auntie! It is a treasure we will cherish!
