How did we design our family flag?


"We took one color from the flags of each of the countries where our family came from: Greece and Scotland (blue), Russia and Poland (red), and Germany (black). My mom and I picked the fabric. I ironed it, and we sewed it together."

And that's only half of it.

NYC Highlights!

Reunited with old kindergarten pal, Meliki, who now lives in Brooklyn.
Here's a flashback photo of the two of them back in kindergarten days. They basically adored each other then and still adore each other now.

We were foiled in our attempt to go to the Natural History Museum -- every family in the tri-state area was there -- so we walked down to the Central Park Zoo instead. We had lots of fun -- it wasn't too crowded at all. Here Boylee is contemplating a polar bear.
As we walked down from 81st Street through the park, Boylee was thrilled to find the exact set of rocks he climbed on last spring!

George Washington and Boylee at Federal Hall.

A Lower East Side bike cozy!

At the very cool, brand new Imagination Playground at the South Street Seaport. We didn't see anything else at the seaport, just hung out at the playground until the rain drove us back home.
