take your kids to work day

Äya was able to come with me to work this year for day of fun filled activities at Martha. From Gardening to glittering and yoga, 30 or more 5-12 years olds filled our studios with squeals and laughter. Aya found a new friend in Darcy's daughter Daisy, and along with her sister Ella, were up to tons of mischief including locking themselves in Darcy's office!

Next year Jan will be joining in on the fun!

Kai and I had our 8th anniversary on april 6th and I have to admit, it was probably the best one yet! Does this mean things get better? I certainly think so. We happen to run into our friend Shan that day who took this photo... for those of you who don't know, he was our wedding photographer as well.

And just today, our friend Haven, posted a photo of us 9 years ago on facebook.

As Kai quoted "nothing has changed..."

Brooklyn Bowl

So this has been the week for discovering local play areas and sunday proved to be a load of fun at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg. Apparently a completely green venture, 10 years in the making. Amazing fried chicken and other goodies by Blue Ribbon, a dance and concert space, turn of the century coney island vibe and leather sofas as you bowl.

We met up with our lovely friends Tommy & Karyn (soon to be married!) while Aya bonded with Tommy's daughter Marlena over milkshakes. Jan showed off his moves on the bowling lane (can you believe they make bowling shoes in infants size 10?). Definitely the place to be on a cold winter's day.

Some pictures to enjoy!
