FAMILY in New York

Michael turns 30!!!

Our Michael turned 30!! With a lot of help from Michael’s girlfriend Julianna we managed a surprise Birthday visit to New York the weekend before Michael turned 30.

Our son PJ and Fiancé Kristi met up with us at our hotel in Chelsea. Omi, my mom (Grandma to the boys) flew in from Toronto for the surprise as well. She met Michael’s girlfriend Julianna for the first time. :) ( so sweet)

THE SURPRISE!!! A picture is worth a thousand words :)

The two happy couples and our family at the Chez Zoo Bar/Lounge at Hudson Yards.

OMI (Grandma) was really the big surprise for Michael by flying in from Toronto Canada for the celebration.

Well I will continue to say this but family means the world to us. We all had a fantastic time celebrating Michael’s 30th.. and it looks like it was a success

Dinner at Estiatorio Milos at Hudson Yards - excellent!! Thank you Julianna for getting that delicious cake for the occasion.

Hop on Hop off bus tour of lower Manhattan which included the One World Observatory.

It was Michael’s Birthday but somehow the girls got presents from Omi!! ha ha.. Michael is wondering what was going on!! He “Gently” reminded Omi it was really HIS Birthday.. (He had to patiently wait for his until the next day)

Hudson River cruise! It makes us happy to see them all get along so well and have fun

The Statue of Liberty!! The statue's crown bears seven spikes, symbolizing the seven oceans and seven continents of the world, and emphasizing her message of welcome, inclusiveness, and freedom. She is the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom, inspiration, and hope.

We are so proud that we have kids who work hard and are contributing in a positive way to this society and country. As parents it’s our job to continue to support and model that, for them, and future generations to come.

“We look at family as those who care about you the most and want to see you grow and flourish. Helpfulness, respect, health, integrity and cooperation are our core values; our family understands our values and we understand their values. Through understanding of each other’s values, we arrive at a mutual respect and support. People with open hearts and a willingness to accept you for the human that you are. Even when things go wrong and crisis faces you, you can always depend on family. Family brings you back to your values and helps you make good decisions.”

This Family will always have each other’s back. We are so proud of you all.

Cheers to the next 30 years!! Keep smiling!! We Love you lots!!
