July 2023 – Gigi Makes Three

Best Friends

I live for the days I’m able to pick up Gigi from camp. Today, I took Gigi for ice cream, and then she kept me company at the gym. I adore her and am so grateful for our time together.

Eggs

Gigi had the same toy when she was a tiny baby. We took very similar pics!

American Girl Doll Plaza (and Parking Garage)

Gigi’s getting super good at building structures. It pains us to tear them down! So we take pics to memorialize them..

Slow Saturday Morning

It’s been busy lately, so sleeping in and slowing down for some sister snuggles on the couch felt like a gift. We love these sweet girls so much.

This summer, we met friends at Soho House who happen to live on the block next to ours! Gigi made fast friends with the two little girls, Lily and Josie. They live in Toronto most of the year but come back to New York for holidays and the summer. We made the most of our time together and can’t wait to see them again soon!

Scavenger Hunt!

We promised Gigi one early birthday present this year, and we sent her on a scavenger hunt to find it. Her clues took her all over the apartment until she arrived at her gift; her first ever ‘real’ suitcase which also happened to be American Girl-themed! It was love at first sight.

There also happened to be a note inside revealing that we’d be taking a family trip to celebrate her birthday in Longboat Key!

Halloween at Camp

She’s a butterfly!

Summer Camp

Gigi is having an amazing summer surrounded by friends and we are so proud of her for trying lots of new things at camp.

She won the kindness award… no surprise here!

Blueberries and Butternut Squash

Getting ready…

We’ve got a 7th birthday coming up!

Summer Nights

So grateful for our happy little roof oasis on top of our apartment! It’s the perfect place to venture after dinner when we’re needing some pre-bedtime family cuddles!

Sisters

This is the way we start most mornings. We bring Eloise to wake Gigi and, inevitably, it turns into a sister snuggle session. They’re always equally surprised and happy to see one another.
