Bowdoin Park


This is a park Mauricio and I always head to whenever in New York. It looks out to the Hudson river. It is a very beautiful area.

The first picture you can kind of see the Hudson in the background. This lady with her little girl between Afton and Isabels age was totally following us around. I am not kidding she really was. We were at the swings and she came to the swings, we went out to the area where we were standing and she came and asked if she could take a picture for us-nice-yes. Well then we went back to the swings and so did she. Then we went over to this rock and she followed us over there. Kind of weird-she didn't even give time between us leaving-she left whenever we did-haha.

So the second picture I think it totally cute. Isabel was not wanting to be in pictures all week for some reason. It still turned out cute even if she was being a stinker.

First "real" haircut

So for all who don't know Afton's mimi-Rosie cuts hair. So this is Afton's actual first real haircut and who better than her mimi to do it.

We have hair from most of her surgeries and I have given her a few haircuts on my own-well attempted a haircut-haha. She loved it!! Thanks mimi.

Circus


So here is Afton with two of her cousins-Sebastian and Vince, and Uncle Jason. We went to New York for a visit and Afton got her first experience of the circus.

If you know Afton, you know she loves Dumbo's (elephants). So the whole circus she was cheering-Dumbo, Dumbo, Dumbo. Well she was pretty disappointed when they didn't come out before intermission. Then out came everyone from the circus including the "Dumbo's" and she let out a shrill. When they finally did come out and do their thing she was pretty disappointed that it was so short.

All in all she had a great time. Aunt Angie got Aftons face painted and she wanted a Dumbo. I had to explain to her they only do butterflies, dogs, cats or clowns about 3 times. She finally gave in to the dog. She wanted to show mimi and pop when we got back to the house, but it was so late they were in bed. She was pretty mad at me for washing it off, but I promised her we would show them the pictures and she was okay with it.
