A Brief Visit from Marcos - Time with Old Friends

David, Marcos and Felipe playing Dominion.

It's always nice when time and circumstance allow for you to spend time with old friends, and we had such an occasion a few weeks ago when some business brought Marcos to New York City for a brief time.  We had one day with Marcos before his business took him away to exciting Long Island...so we did what anyone visiting the United states from France would do...shopping!  Well, he had a couple of things that he wanted to try and get while he was here, and since there are plenty of stores in our area to serve that need, we did a bit of neighborhood shopping. 

After shopping we met David and Nieves...and little baby Ethan, at the Time Warner building for lunch at Landmarc.  After lunch the "party" moved on to our apartment, where we could sit and talk, catch up and not worry about all those special circumstances that come up with a tiny baby :)  We had a chance to play some Dominion, and David and Marcos could pretend for a little while that they were back in college in Paris, playing games in their free time. 

After games we had a nice little stroll through Riverside Park, and in the end parted ways with a mixed feelings - sad that the time could not linger a little while longer, and happy and grateful that we had a brief day in our busy and far apart lives to spend some quality time together.

I've meant to post for some time the first few photos I took of David and Nieves with their new little boy...some precious photos from those first few days in the hospital.  He's grown so much since then!
