Week in Review #6

I'm sitting in LaGuardia airport, waiting to catch the flight back home with the fam. 10 days in NY was amazing, but we're ready for being back in sweet home Chicago. Just the same, here's the past week:

• The more time I spend in Manhattan and Brooklyn the more I want to move to New York. Chicago is still better by far, but I'll jump at any chance I can get to be back in New York. It won't happen anytime soon, but I LOVE this city. Going to gather all of the pictures from both our phones and the camera to post an album later.
• We spent most of our city time in Central Park, Time Square, and the areas in between.  Central Park is amazing. We didn't even seen half of it.

• And the Pic of the Week. Probably one of my favorite pictures of my son ever. He is reenacting the Toy Story 2 scene where the toys try to cross the street. He just walked up to the cone and started doing this. We had no idea at first what he was insistent on doing. But when it clicked what he was doing we realized he was being very smart and creative:
