Hello





"It's been such a loong tiime, I really must be going....."

I have a NEW camera! Woohoo! We were in NYC for a couple of days just after Christmas,
and my yucky old Canon just sort of went kaput (well, okay, actually the battery died, and I was without a newly charged battery since it was the kind of camera that didn't use regular batteries). One simply cannot be in NYC at Christmas, with one's two young children who have never been to NYC, and NOT HAVE A CAMERA! Even numbnuts like me that usually forget to take their camera to important events.

So, DH bought me a new, very lovely little Nikon Coolpix that I'm oh-so-happy with. Might even get my photobug going. So here's a few to share.

Oh, and we saw 'Mary Poppins' on Broadway! Wonderful, wonderful show. The kids were spellbound the whole 2 hours 45 minutes. Especially M, who was really into the show itself; L, on the other hand, was probably analyzing everything he saw to figure out how they did it.

M and I made our pilgrimage to the American Girl store on 5th Avenue. What a place! Three stories of doll 'stuff'. M just didn't know what to make of the whole thing. She found some cool things she wanted for her 'Elizabeth' (see pic above), including a very nice bed, and we were on our way.

NYC at holiday time is amazing, but mostly just, well, crowded.

New cameras are so cool, aren't they? My Molly got a (cheap) Cybershot for Christmas, and I was even excited about that. ;) Sounds like your visit to NYC was wonderful!
