A Smile for the Soul

This post will be short yet full of deep, intellectual thoughts.

JUST KIDDING! 🙂

We have been living it up over here with my mom and dad.   A Yankee game, a trip to Coney Island, shopping in the city, lunch at a pizza icon, a fabulous date with my husband, the farmer’s market, walks every morning, wine around the dinner table, a late night movie, cookies, the most delicious homemade siu-mai, splashing in the kiddie pool with the cutest two year old, and starting some really fun projects.

The best part?

It was all with my mama and my dad.

For those of you who live near family and have the wonderful privilege of sharing life on a daily basis, don’t let the everyday mundane moments rob you of the beautiful joy it is to be a family in close proximity.

For those of you who are far away from loved ones, I feel you.  But oh what a smile for the soul when you are together!

Grimaldi’s!!! One of my favorite NY style pizza joints.

If you know my dad, you know he has this pose in every picture in every place he’s ever visited 🙂

Park time with her grandma!

Coney Island! It lives up to every expectation you’d have of it!

Ice cream, hot dogs, the ocean, her grandparents… Doesn’t get much better than this!

The girls 🙂

Go Yanks!

My soul is smiling. 🙂  Until next week,

xoxoxo,
