Nana



Just a few photos from the Nana photo shoot! :)
My sweet husband and his, now our, Nana, his beautiful grandma who turned 85 just last month! And here I am with the girls, Birgit, Mike's mom, and Nana. They came to visit us in our new home a few weeks ago and we had a blast!!! We explored new parts of the city together: took a boat ride around Manhattan, went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden (which is a must see) and were totally spoiled, being taken out to nice restaurants. The most special part though was just being together, as Nana said "I am here to see you kids, I don't care about New York." It was nice to really have that quality time and hear stories about the family history; for example Nana's grandparents were I think Hasidic Jews (don't quote me on that) who kept separate dishes for meat and dairy, "God forbid I mix cheese and meat," Nana said laughing referring to eating with her Grandma. It was sweet to hear her love story, how she and "papa" met years ago and were engaged after only a few dates! We laughed and laughed the whole time. I can't wait for more family and friends to come...mi casa su casa :)

I swear I don't have to comment on each of your posts, but I have to on this one.

Heartwarming :) Cherish those moments with our aging relatives...they pass far too quickly. Beautiful picture of Mike and Nana... and you ladies, but I especially like the one of them :)
