Lock your windows! but make sure you have keys first.

This morning I was getting the girls ready for Co-op. They were dressed and fed. Elena was watching Super Why and would not move away from the TV. I took advantage of the situation by changing Victoria one more time (another story) and getting some BIG stuff that needed to be returned. I couldn't possibly carry it all down the stairs, so I decided to take the stuff that needed to be returned to the hall, that way I can take the girls to the car and then come up and get the stuff but still be able to see the two cuties.
With Victoria in one arm (I would have put her down but she was fuzzy) and the big stuff on the other arm I walk out of the door and put the stuff right by it and as they land on the floor I hear a quiet but deadly "click".
The door was closed!!, I knew it but could not turn around, all I could think was "at least they are both with me" Cell phone on the kitchen counter, keys on the key holder, husband out of town, neighbors gone for the day, strangers going by faster than normal (might be due to starring). Finally a nice old lady from across the street let me used her cell phone and I called the police, they sent the fireman and they were able to open my window, go in my bathroom (why didn't I put my garments on the laundry basket?!!!) and open my door. I am so grateful for them and the nice lady, after a very stressful hour I was able to be in my apt again.
Let's just say that was the begging of an eventful day!

The end...

This is my last post on our trip to New York. Sorry it's taking me so long.
The second weekend we took a trip to Providence, RI. David had to meet with Sigal, a professor that he's been working with for a while but had not met yet. Mom and Dad were kind enough to go with us so that I would not be alone with the girls all day long.

We took a trip around the city, some might say we got lost but they don't know we like to see all the little street of places we've never been to.
We also mixed up a cemetery with a park, good thing we found the park an had lunch there.

We also found this cute little park that had a little trail that would take you to a beach. It was so pretty. Then we went to a very nice old Carousel. It was such a nice place and the horses went super fast, even mom got a tummy ache:-(

Grandpa, Grandma and the girls before our ride.The Carousel is inside this building.
Our family, we went for a walk to a beach the next day.Mom and Dad, aren't they cute?

The super neat story behind all this is our dinner with Sigal. She and her family invited us over for dinner Friday evening. They are Jewish Orthodox, and they were going to start their Sabbath at sunset. A nice couple with a baby 4 day younger than Victoria came and another super nice man. We started by singing some songs, I guess they did because they all sang in Hebrew. They blessed their wine and grape juice and then their bread. Washed their hands and started their meal. I wish I could remember every little detail but I was so worry that Elena would break something (dinner started at 8pm and that is her bed time) that I could hardly pay attention.
Once thing that I remember very well is the singing, they sang with their hearts, it was so beautiful, you could tell they loved what they were doing. It was such a nice experience, to be able to feel their love for their faith, their gospel. They bore their testimonies to me without even realizing it. I really want to be like them, I want to be able to bear testimony of Jesus our Savior without trying just by living it and loving it.

It was wonderful. I miss you mom so much, thanks again for the fun times and for giving me some of your precious time. I am dying to do it again.
