paper making at the new york hall of science

we went to the ny hall of science with siri's new bff emilio (and his mom, carolina) on sunday (despite getting into a car accident on saturday), and siri learned how to make paper.  she also had a great time at the science playground and enjoyed feeling temperature differences between mars and parts of earth.  we became instant members with reciprocity to other museums nationwide (e.g. zeum children's museum in sf, omsi in portland, etc.).  we look forward to taking more trips out there in the future...we just need to decide whether we want to keep the car or become zip car members.

siri's new bed frame!  some of you may recognize a couple of the pieces from siri's old crib.  hopefully, she sleeps in this version more than the first one.
