So we moved out of our awesome NYC apartment last month. Tomorrow will be our one month anniversary in beautiful Hoboken, NJ. We love our new life here--and the back and forth between what we continue to have in the city, and what we are creating in our home on the other side of the Hudson river.
Our New York apartment was special. From all the places we lived before, our time there brings back a flood of memories. Of course, a particular one. Anya's godmother painted this beautiful mural for our child and it was hard to let go. (Yes, she is awesome. And if you are in the Houston (Texas) area, maybe you could coax her to do up your home. When she is able to get away from her own little wee one). It was (is) a beautiful tree, in Suketu's favorite color, and it held (holds) a lot of meaning to us. Gravity. Creation. Growth. New Seasons. Change. All those things that a birth of a child brings to one's life. Tree, NYC, West Village--we will miss you. Hoboken--here we are.

Stunning mural.
Hoboken is going to be a lovely place for Little G to grow up, and for you all to create new memories!
Have a good move.
Best wishes!
That mural is stunning! So now you are suburban folks haan :) Maybe the godma will be back to work her magic painting in the new home too! Baby looks like a doll in the pics.
Hey..you know I watch this show Cake Boss on TV. I think their bakery is in Hoboken. Now you'll get to sample their amazing desserts :)
Congrats on your new place! And those are lovely photos, too, in that post.
Thank you for your generous compliment on the sheep blanket! Yes, the tree mural was indeed 'a work of art.' Maybe she can do it all over again in your new house! Best wishes on your new life in NJ. (I was born in NJ!)
I am glad that you are loving your new home. I can't wait to come visit. That mural is so beautiful it is beyond words.
Oh your baby is growing up fast! What a beautiful tree! I'd find it hard to leave that behind too! Warm wishes to you in your new home!
the mural is amazing! Congrats on the new place..
Oh my...what a beautiful mural! And look at your baby girl - she's getting sooo big, and she's so darn pretty, too! Will you be posting pics of your new home? I'd love to have a peek. :)
this mural is wonderful...great colours!
What a lovely post. May you be Blessed wherever you are!
I would have been very hard for me to leave that beautiful orange tree, I hope the new folks that live there will like it. I painted a mural of a horse on my wall as a pre-teen and the renters painted over it, I was crushed. Hope that Jersey brings you much happiness.
The baby has the sweetest face so full of joy. And the new house sounds wonderful, I look forward to some glimpses of it some time. And thanks for your kind comments.
Enjoy your new home and your new life. That mural is jaw-dropping awesome!!
Congrats on the new home! Suburban life is much easier with the wee ones around. That mural is so beautiful. That would have been hard for me to leave too!

Congratulations on the move! I love love love the orange tree. Orange is my favorite color...that's some talented friend you've got. Maybe she should visit you in NJ and take a break from that TX heat so she can paint another tree for you.
