Let It Snow!

Here is Terai's class performing their Christmas program song. 
See if you can spot the disappearing child, and why he disappeared.

more snow, more sledding

Sledding Fun

Twenty inches of snow in one day has caused havoc for the city snowplows and garbage pick-up.  But it was great for us!

Second day out, instead of standing on our sled, we decided to modify one of our skateboards.  Waxed it up, and made for a tricky fun ride.

Sleigh Session 2010

The annual Sleigh Sessions!
This year there were at least 60 Santa's, Elves and Reindeer longboarding down Broadway!
Always the best longboarding event of the year.  Check it out

The new cousin

Here is a video of baby Kenna.  Seppo was not there so I added some photos of him, then got carried away adding other old photos, and then some ocean shots seemed fitting for the song too.

And Happy Birthday Jeremiah!

The Ghouls are out

This is some video taken from the Procession of the Ghouls at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.  The boys were loving it.

Summer sledding and fun

Well the boys have found a fun way to go sledding in the summer. Looks like super fun, but I have not yet tried it out. It is just easier to upload on YouTube so check it out here or there.



Enjoy the music too, John Browns Body "Push some air"

Nice place to fall asleep eh?

Hey so it's the Summer.
The boys and I haven't been on the BEST sleeping schedule in the world.
So here's the story: It was late at night Seppo put on a movie. Terai was sitting in a bucket all bundled up. Turns out that's where he fell asleep. I COULD NOT HELP but take a picture!

Been a while

Hey,
sorry we haven't been posting on the blog as much as we'd like to.
Here's a video of what we've been doing over the Summer:

Wow! Surprised to see the kids made the NY Times!

City of Water Day Festival

With our views blocked by concrete and metal, it is easy to forget that New York is surrounded by water. That’s why on Saturday, the third annual City of Water Day Festival will let the masses ferry, paddle, row, canoe and kayak their way to the city’s waterfronts for a full day of free activities sponsored by the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance and Friends.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., I Fish NY will offer family fishing clinics on the west side of Governors Island ...

Last Day of school 4 some friends!! I'll miss them!!

So on Friday(6/24/2010) A lot of my friends were gonna be leaving for the Summer.I brought in a T-shirt for everyone to sign my shirt. I got soooo many signatures from the awesome people of Delta. I also got a lot of hugs from my friends in my class(F.Y.I. people in my class give AWESOME hugs.) and other people in my school.
Friday was a really awesome day. I got hugs, my T-shirt signed, my hair cut, I hung out with some old buddies and... you may not know this but.... one of the math teachers in my school is a Ninja. He signed my T-shirt, hugged me AND flipped me!!!(By flipped me I don't mean he flipped me off. He flipped me over like how the people in movies flip you over when you take they're hand. Instead he flipped me over when I hugged him.) Friday was really awesome. H.A.G.S. everyone.(Have A Great Summer)

Hair Cut!!

Hey I got another haircut.
Its for the Summer. I really like it though.
Boys need 2 get a hair cut soon too.
Tell me if you like my new cut.
