This one's for you Nicola

and for any other kids who might be looking! (there is a train for Isaac if he is looking)!
since you really like the pictures of the baby Nicola..I am so glad cos I just had some in my camera ready for you! Liam was smiling at us yesterday when he was on the floor on his mat kicking!

here he is in the baby bjorn carrier ..ready to go for a walk...sometimes Aunty Jo and Uncle Andrew like to take him for a walk...it helps him go to sleep...

look , asleep already...! That was quick today, Liam!

They love going down to the park...so do I...I love the ducks...!

Here is the photo of the train that I took for Isaac...they go by on the other side of the water very often. The train track seems very close to the water to me, what do you think? The name of the suburb over there is called the Bronx, and it has a very famous zoo there somewhere, called the Bronx Zoo. We all went one year, and Grandma..oops sorry Aunty Ann saw FLAMINGOS...wow..so many of them...they were soo beautiful...very pretty PINK!

Here is a little boy and his father playing baseball...lots of kids...and lots of grownups too, play baseball over here in America...sometimes you see it on tv too....

there was a fast boat going down the river...I nearly missed him!

this yellow boat might have been having engine trouble! He wasn't going anywhere very fast at all!

Here are some little girls (about your age Nicola) playing on the street yesterday afternoon....

there are a lot of activities for the school kids down at the park...they are all on their summer holidays right now....so for the ones who don't play baseball there are heaps of things to do...a lot of them go to "summer camp"...

and these people were making a movie or a video...the man in the black vest was singing...

we walked past just as they were doing it...in case you ever see him on a music video!

there was a ribbon tied to a tree out on the footpath yesterday...don't know why, except that it might be left over from Independence day holiday a while ago on 4th July.

OK I know you were getting bored just now, so here's some more of Liam....!

isnt he cute like this...??

and here is Aunty Jo and Uncle Andrew...with Liam ...

now that is a funny picture I know...it is the new shopping trolley Jo bought...very handy when you have to walk everywhere to do your shopping...they even took it on their picnic down the park the other day...what a bright idea!

Here is a tree with a hole in it...I only noticed it the other day, and we have been walking past it almost every day! Have you ever seen a tree with a hole in it, Nicola? Are you still with me here?

ah, here are the funny geese...can you see the one who was looking at me ?

and what do you think this was?

Here are some kids having fun...tho it was a bit dangerous cos they wern't always looking where they were going!

Well, I hope you had fun looking at my pikkies Nicola...and any others of you, especially any other kids...it is fun here in New York! Wish you could be here with me!

Lots of love from Aunty Ann / Grandma
