~Off To The Big Apple~


When my oldest son (well, actually he's my step-son but that just doesn't sound or feel right to me), Jakob, graduated from college last year, he was eaten up by a law firm in New York.
Hang on a minute...I have to grab a kleenex.
The first chicken has left the nest.
Maisy's still not that sure about this.
As I have now realized, I must let him spread his wings.
Mama bird has a hard time with this from time to time.
Hang on....I need another kleenex~

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!

We are going to the BIG APPLE this weekend to visit him.
We are all so excited.
Including him.

This is my Jakob~




Jakob and his dad in matching soccer shirts.
Seiously girls...don't give me any s**t about this.
They are both grown men who should just know better.
See what happens when we are not around...things like this!!!
Courtesy of Google Images...This is what we will be doing during this fine weekend~
Again, courtesy of Google Images.
I get chills just thinking about Ellis Island.
My husband's parent's family's came through Ellis Island.
Amazing.
We don't know the last names because they were changed here.
Did any one see Hitch????
If not, watch it.
Ellis Island reminds me of that movie too!

Wait a minute...how did that one get in here???
Again..matching family.
I really need to ad"dress"this with them. HAHAHAHA
Man, do I crack myself up!
Hang on, I have to compose myself..

Ok...Ok...I'm ready now!

Any-Hoo...I'm telling you all about this because I will be gone from my favorite people in the whole world (yes, that's you)until Monday.
If I was on the ball all week I wouldn't have to do EVERYTHING tomorrow to get ready.
However, I do now...so I must say goodbye.

I will truly miss you.
I have one word to say.....BLACKBERRY!!!
I'm so happy I just got one.
Now I can keep up with my blog via my e-mail!
WOO-HOO!!!!!

I will bring back lots of photos and memories to share.

Until then.......HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

Maisy~ What a great shot of your "Boys". I love them in the matching shirts! (They do look very much alike!) I have a question...When they get to beyond college age...do they not mind you hugging and fussing about them in public anymore??? Sniff sniff, I hate it when I am not allowed to say goodbye the way a Mama likes to say goodbye to my boy. Have a great time and bring back pictures!
