He did try to eat the grass right after this picture was taken.
Can you see the city skyline in the back? So cool!
If anyone ever asks me why I love the east coast, I'll just show them this picture. (and they'll probably say, "Because of the dead people?")
Story: I saw this tree and thought it would be funny to lean against it and hold Blake up in the crook so it looked like he had climbed up himself. That didn't quite work out because the tree looked gross (I don't know how else to explain it other than it looked like something was going to crawl out of a nook or cranny.) So just pretend like it looks like a 6 month old climbed a tree by himself. Funny, right?
Blake looks so grown up to me in this picture. And he's making two little bald patches on my head.
Reflecting on life.
The Green-Wood cemetery was fun to visit. I think it might be more fun if next time we tour it in a car (just so we can see all of it.) Next site-seeing adventure: Governors Island! (hopefully)

Ah, the circle of life.
Thanks for your awesome posts and photos!
Isn't Greenwood beautiful? It's really lovely in the spring, too, when the trees are blossoming. About this time two years ago I was walking through with Emily. At Horace Greely's grave, some workers were digging up around the monument, exposing a stairway underneath to the tomb. Kinda creepy, but kinda cool. They asked us if we wanted to take a peek (not inside, but a closer look at what was exposed). We said of course and I parked Garrett in his stroller and we went to look. I guess I didn't find a sturdy enough place to stash the stroller because it started rolling -- quickly -- down the hill. We caught up with it fine, and Garrett was fine, too, but since it was near Halloween and his grave was partially open, it's kinda fun to say that the ghost of Horace Greely pushed my baby down the hill. :)
That's an awesome story!
That place is gorgeous! I love the East for pictures like that too. Green.
Great story! And the area looks beautiful.
Hooray for Green-Wood! That place was our refuge. Just smelling dirt and grass is such a blessing. Don't miss going up to see the statue that's waiving at the Statue of Liberty at the Civil War memorial.
