winter into ....summer

It has been a very long time since the last update. The winter in Connecticut has finally ended and Zoe helped it on its way out with a few festivities:

First, there was a Saint Patrick's Day parade with lots of green, bag pipes and street hot dogs, which Zoe enjoyed very much with her girlfriend Katya:

Then came the seemingly endless spring rain, which Zoe enjoyed thoroughly thanks to her new rainbow umbrella:
Then came another big event: Zoe's mom FINALLY graduated from the Yale School of Management!!!! Zoe got to hang out with her "aunts" Martha and Paula, who came for the graduation. Zoe also attended the big Yale-wide graduation, saw Hillary Clinton and was happy in anticipating spending a lot more time with her mom:
Over the next few weeks, when the weather was finally warm and dry, Zoe enjoyed riding her papa's bicycle (and learned how to ride her new tricycle too- pics later!):

And then- the SUMMER began. Zoe celebrated it by going to Conney Island in NYC and riding a ReALLy FAST rollercoster with papa:

Next day Zoe visited the Bronx Zoo, which she absolutely loved and promised to visit again before the summer is over. She loved riding a camel with papa, seeing all the animals and riding on the BUG carousel!

And finally, the summer in New Haven opened with a cool "Arts and Ideas" month-long festival. Last weekend Zoe experienced her first big-screen cinema experience at the Children's Film festival:
After the festival Zoe went to the concerts both Saturday and Sunday nights where she enjoyed the music and dancing with her friend Lior, even though it rained a bit:



And coming soon will be Zoe's big "3" Birthday Party in 2 weeks (so hard to believe our baby is 3!!!)
