My Grandsons
Are these not the two most adorable Santa's helpers that you've ever seen? When I saw this photo of my grandsons on Christmas Eve I missed them more than ever! I am so excited to know I'll be sharing Christmas with them and a new grandbaby next year! In the meantime, I am chest deep in moving boxes and doing last minute packing.
Please forgive me if I am late visiting your blogs and returning comments. My time online has been very limited and will become even more so as we get closer to our move date soon after the new year. We will be arriving in Colorado just in time for my daughter's baby shower, so between that, and unpacking and buying necessities for our new home, I'll be pretty busy there for a time. As soon as everything settles down I'll be back to visiting more regularly and catching up on all I missed.

Thank you all for your wonderful Christmas wishes on my prior post where I was enjoying my last sights of Christmas in New York City for a while. I hope you also had a very happy and blessed Christmas!
Dinner at the beautifully decorated Rolf's German Restaurant in Manhattan
My husband and I have been enjoying some last get together lunches and dinners with friends and co-workers as we say *goodbye, for now,* to them. Moving can be bittersweet that way, but it is exciting to know we will be together as a family with our son and daughter and their families again, and able to enjoy and learn more about our new state.
Leaving Brooklyn? Yes, I am, in 2013!
Living in Colorado will be a happy and exciting new adventure in my life. New York will always be my second home, so I'll still be blogging about it from time to time, as well as what is going on in "Colorful Colorado." I hope you will always find my blog an interesting and welcoming place!
As Father Time turns the year from 2012 to 2013,
I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year!

This will be a busy and exciting time, Pat! I can't wait to see Colorado through your lens :)
Happy New Year to you!
Best of luck to you and Vinnie, looking forward to seeing Colorado through your eyes and camera's lens! I will miss my Brooklyn blogging buddy though, sad we never did get to have a cup of coffee. xo
Happy New Year to you, Pat! The new year will have lots of new adventures for you!
I'm smiling at the sign about leaving Brooklyn. :) Enjoy your last days there knowing...'the best is yet to come'!
You are so going to miss NYC even as you embrace Colorado. I'm praying for a smooth transition for you. It's good to know that you can go back again to visit. Now THAT will be an interesting post...where would you like most to go upon returning to New York? Those grandboys of yours are adorable...yes, soo very cute and I can't get over how big they've grown. The excitement of a new baby must be tugging pretty strong, too. Ahhhh...it's all joy.
Very exciting times for you indeed Pat! Wishing you a smooth move and all the best in 2013-enjoy:@)
Adorable Grands..hey Pat hopes and prayers for safe move.You must have sold your home?
Quick question,what is that Pier 17? I see it on TV and photo's,is it a shopping center or industry??
Safe travels my friend,can't wait to see the "new blog" in Colorado!

It would be hard not to want to spend time with those two cuties! Best wishes as you pack and get ready to move. I will happily be following your blog as you begin your Colorado adventures. So glad we got to meet!
Hi Pat, Yep, those are two mighty sweet Santa helpers and I know you must miss them as i do mine. He was here for Christmas and I enjoyed being with him only to miss more when they leave. Best of luck on the move, and look forward to your new location posts in the new year.
Blessings to you and yours in 2013......

Oh Pat - I'll bet you're just counting the hours to be near your little Santa's helpers. They are just too cute for words. I'll miss having you not far away, but I look forward to your new posts and I'm so happy for you and Vinny.
Happy New Year to you Pat.
You will have a fabulous 2013 with your sweet grandchildren.......
Pat, I am so happy and excited for you! I know you will be very happy being so close to your grandchildren! I wish you all the best in 2013, Happy New Years!
I'll be thinking of you as you pack and move to Colorado and say good bye for now to New York City. I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year. Blessings to you. Hugs, Pamela
Oh, those boys are adorable! Isn't it nice that with all the changes, you blog will stay the same?
Your grandsons are beautiful, Pat. I wish you all the best in your move. How wonderful that you'll be able to spend more time with your family! Truly, a happy new year.
God speed on your packing and move. I know what you mean about bittersweet good bye for now but with FB, email, twitter etc no one needs to be more than one second away. And all those cool electronic tricks can't replace the ability to wrap one 's arms around family.
Pat, your grandsons are adorable.
I'm so excited for you about your move. Good luck with the packing, moving and selling!
Happy New Year!
Pat,
Best of luck with the rest of the packing and the move Pat. I know you are eager to be settled in, and enjoying your family!!! Thinking of you.
XO Kris
So excited for you, Pat. Those boys are the cutest.
Happy New Year........Happy Packing.........Sarah
You will be so happy to be closer to those adorable little grands. Hope your move goes smoothly. Happy New Year!!
Pat
I know your blog will be interesting no matter where you live! I'm looking forward to hearing all about Colorado. I'm sure it will be hard to leave NY, but I'd move too if I could be close to all of my g'children.
BTW, the wee elves are adorable!
You'll love Colorado. I sometimes with that we'd stayed there. But that's another world for me. Where in CO will you be living?
Oh wow!!! It's actually happening!! You are moving!! Hello colourful Colorado!! Awwww I am so so so so so happy for you!
Your grandsons are too cute for words!! Utterly adorable!
I wish you a safe journey, a pleasant and stress free move and a bountiful and wonderful 2013 for you and your amazing family!! Take care

Pat, I know you have mixed emotions about the coming month, but I'm guessing the excitement of being with family trumps the sadness of leaving NYC. Hope all goes very smoothly with the move and that you feel at home quickly. Happy New Year!
