This One (or 12) is for Andy

While walking around Central Park, we came across a bench with a plaque that said, "For Andy With all my Love" or something like that. We all laughed and thought it was pretty ironic that we noticed it.



As we looked down the row of benches, we noticed that about 12 of them were all "For Andy". Then, we saw the tree with the big rock underneath that had inscripted on it, "For Andy who I love with all my heart" Wow! This is his place! So we took a picture:

Andy's response to all this praise? "At least someone finally appreciates me" ;)

Andy declared that this should be his final resting spot. Of course, he takes all the credit for whatever great things this other "Andy" accomplished. ha ha

New York City

My first time to NYC was awesome! Thanks Steve and Kirsten for opening their studio apartment to us and taking us around your hometown- we had a such a blast!

So much to do in so little time-- here are a few highlights:

- Going to the Manhattan Temple- so beautiful!

- Living it up @ Times Square

- Touching the Statue of Liberty

- Celebrity sightings at "The Met" (such as J-Lo, Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Donald Trump)

- Museum of Natural History "Dum Dum, give me Gum Gum" :)

- Riding the subway- what an experience :)

- Central Park (bring walking shoes!!)

-Seinfield Resturant (unfortunately did not see Jerry :)

-Having Drew Become famous on the "Today Show" (camera shot on him and Andy)

-Staten Island Ferry

My Boys :)

Thanks to Andy's work for providing a decent computer that our boys can watch Thomas the Tank Engine and Cars on-- they love it!

License to Drive

Oh yeah, Drew doesn't have one, so watch out!!!

Thanks to some awesome ward members who gave this to our boys (their kids had grown out of it) Drew is in Heaven.

Dance Party

I'm not kidding a bit when I say that Grant cannot hold still if there is any type of music on.

Even during commercials or shows or in the car--- we'll see a little head nod or a little booty shake or little arms up in the air!

Yesterday we turned the music up loud for a good old fashioned dance party-- a great family tradition (done nearly every day). Grant was going strong long after the rest of us had called it quits.

Here he is- starting to get tired, but still going, going, going! Man, we love this little guy!!

Nursery

Who said my little baby could turn into a little boy?! Sunday was his official first day of nursery, and he loved it! (so did we- we forgot how enlightening attending class can be! :)
