This is how Emma falls asleep

Hoboken Fall Arts & Music Festival

Twice a year the City of Hoboken organizes arts and music festival. One is held in the spring and one in the fall. First nine blocks of the city's main street, Washington Street, are closed off and various local vendors find their way to Hoboken. At the end of each block food vendors offer a stopping point to satisfy hungry bellies. In our case, Emma and I had Nutella filled crapes, while Brendan and our friend Matt had one of those lamb gyros. Even though the weather did not cooperate, it sprinkled a little, Emma managed to sleep her way through. Not even the stage music was loud enough to disturb the comfort of our newly acquired Babybjorn (Thanks to our friend Elsa!).

Dva put godisnje grad Hoboken organizira festival umjetnosti i muzike. Jedan se odrzava na proljece a drugi na jesen. Prvih devet blokova glavne ulice, Washington Street, su zatvoreni, te razno razni lokalni trgovci postave svoje standove. Na kraju svakog bloka, stand sa hranom ce zadovoljiti gladne trbuhe. U nasem slucaju, Emma i ja smo pojele palacinku s Nutellom, a Brendan i nas prijetelj Matt su narucili Grcki sandvic sa janjetinom. Iako vrijeme i nije bas bilo neko, povremeno je padala mala kisica, Emma je uspijela prespavati cijeli festival. Cak ni muzika s bine nije bila dovoljno glasna da je probudi iz komfora novog Babybjorna kojeg smo dobili od nase prijeteljice Else.

From Meeting the Conway Family

Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Conway and aunt Becca came to visit Emma for the first time. They arrived very late on Friday night, but we managed to visit for few minutes. The next morning Willis and Van cooked breakfast for all of us, and we spent the day relaxing, competing for Emma's time and walking around Hoboken.

Prosli vikend, baka i djed Conway i teta Becca su dosli u prvi posijet maloj Emmi. Dosli su u Petak, kasno navecer te smo se uspijeli vidjeti na par minuta. Slijedece jutro Willis i Van su nam svima spremili marendu, te smo dan proveli odmarajuci se, natjecali smo se za Emmino vrijeme u narucju, te setajuci Hobokenom.

Emma's first days...

Emma Marie Conway

Well, Since Iva and Emma are recovering from the events of the day, this seems like a great time for me to post my first Blog entry....

Emma Marie Conway was born yesterday, September 3rd, 2008, at 9:47pm, in St. Vincent's Hospital of New York City. She joined us at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, just over 20 inches tall and hardly cried at all when she took her first breath. She has been extremely alert and responsive, and already has a look in her eyes that makes me feel like she knows more about the world than you or I could ever imagine. Iva is recovering exceptionally well and baby Emma has already successfully had her first dinner and a bath.

The photos in the attached album range from 4 hours prior to the big event to 1 hour after birth. I will post some videos when Iva is able to show me how (yeah... she's still better at this IT stuff than I am!?!?!). Don't worry... they're all rated PG, censored for obvious reasons, and were filmed in black and white to appeal to the "color" sensitive crowd out there. :)

Thanks to everyone for all of your continuous support! Our newly developing family is much obliged for the love and well wishes you that have extended to Iva, Emma and me!

Update: Album will be posted as soon as Iva and Emma get home!!! (Yup... It's 5 am, and I can't figure it out... I think it's here, but no promises: http://picasaweb.google.com/brenandiva/2008Emma?authkey=6rDSsWa2Qd0# :)
