heat wave

While in New York, it was really hot. Thank goodness for all the cold treats and popsicles being sold on the street. We ate so many, we joked that we were on a popsicle diet.

Now, back in Toronto at least, the days have cooled off significantly. It feels like the end of summer already.

Friendly New York

We tried taking it slow while in New York, our first time travelling this long with Eloise. We spent our days having coffee, hanging out in parks and doing nothing in particular.

It was different travelling with a 3.5 month old, but New Yorkers are so kind and charming, it was actually a delight to be in the city with her. We couldn't walk 2 blocks without someone stopping us to say how beautiful she is and people were always ready to help us take her and her stroller up and down the stairs (so many stairs in New York!).

To all the New Yorkers we bumped into that showed us kindness, thank you so much!

4 months

These days, I wish time would stand still. She is 4 months old already tomorrow and I am a little sad that time is going by so fast. I know I say this every time but she has changed so much. I can't believe it.

I only had the chance to look through a few photos from our trip (it's been so busy since we came home) and I love this photo Jinny took of Eloise one morning in New York.

Eloise in New York

I disappeared for a few weeks because Jinny surprised us with a trip to New York. It was sort of last minute but I think that was part of what made it so fun. It is our first time back in 7 years and Eloise's first trip across the border.

If you follow me on Instagram then you already know this. I can't wait to go through all the photos we took, I'll be sure to share my favourites with you.
