Celebrations!

We have been having a week of celebrations, as you can see from the cake in the photo above.

It was my birthday, and my husband's 60th birthday, and we had a wonderful party for family and friends at a local restaurant this past weekend to celebrate.

Also, my daughter received her Master of Science in Education & Special Education, Childhood. The ceremony was held at the theater at Madison Square garden in Manhattan, New York. We are so very proud of her as she worked full time while achieving this. Needless to say she was very happy it was accomplished with honors!

It was also the first time our baby grandson visited NYC to attend all the happy events, and all of our families were very happy to greet him, and my son and daughter-in-law.


Our grandson had his first look at the Atlantic Ocean during his visit........


.....and although it has been an unusual cold and rainy June, here in New York, I think he had a good time at his first visit to the beach!

He also saw his very first Yankee Baseball game!

He might look a little sad as the Yankees lost the game...but don't worry, they are having a great season so far in their new stadium, and I'll be showing more photos soon from our visit on a future blog post.

I apologize for not being able to visit many blogs this past week, and answer all the nice comments I have received, but now that my house is (sadly) very quiet and empty again I will be able to once more spend more time on my computer and I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone.

I'll be announcing my blog give away from the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair in my next post, so good luck everyone who commented on that post!

Thanks to all for being my blog friends and followers and sharing in our happiness and celebrations!
