Thanks to several very generous people we got to spend Labor Day in NYC with Corey's parents, his brother, Gabe and his sister, Bekah.
I've been thinking of going up to New York all summer but I just couldn't make it work. It was such a gift to get to see so many wonderful friends and also to spend time with Corey's family with our little Graham.
In many ways it felt incredibly normal and like home to be there and in other ways, so much had changed. Some friends have moved or were out of town which made NYC feel different and of course, many shops had changed. My bodega on west 73rd had closed and I was so disappointed not to get to say hello to those folks.
BUT...I did have a great time with these ladies. Our community group had a dinner together. Joanna was also visiting from Virginia. The fact that she had baby Violet just two days before I had Graham still blows my mind.
Daniela, Robyn, Joanna, Me, Erin, Bethany
Adriana also came in from the Hamptons to spend Saturday with us. That meant so much to me!
We got to go for a quick run in the park as well.
Adriana, Robyn, Baby Graham :)
I worked with these ladies at Redeemer for several years. I miss spending my days with them!
Me, Tracy , Joanna, Bethany
Graham kissed Neil without us coercing him at all. They are buddies!
Three Sylvestre Men ;)
Corey's dad, Roger, Corey and baby Graham
So crazy how much has happened since that proposal!
Corey and I walked around Central Park for our first date exactly three years to the day of this pic including here at Belvedere Castle.
Graham got the best childcare in the world :).
My home for so many years....

Corey and I met on August 28, 2011 in New York and spent that whole day in Central Park.
This pic below was taken last week on August 28th.
We got engaged on this bench on Sept. 27, 2012.

Just before heading to the airport to come home we got to see the Taylor's.
Margaret, Graham, Hannah
We also attended Redeemer on Sunday.
Graham got the best childcare in the world :).
Pics of my favorite city:
I had such a wonderful time at a little get together with friends and we also stopped by the Redeemer offices.
It meant so much to me to see all of you. You are my New York family and I miss you terribly.
This pic says it all....
