Our Latest Adventures

If you ask Marcus last weekend was quite monumental.  We crossed off one of the things that's been on his short list of MUST DO'S before leaving New York.  What was it???  Going to the Seinfeld restaurant and getting this picture.  Marcus loves Seinfeld.   I know this is not popular, but I have never been a huge Seinfeld fan.  Something about how dull the colors are and plain the plot is makes me feel gross.  It's like I'm living the every day boring life of someone else, and it's borderline depressing for me.  Probably the most embarrassing reason I don't like it is because I don't like that the cast isn't better looking...I know I'm a horrible person!!!  In High School I probably would have (and probably did) pretended to like it to blend in, but I've moved past that stage of life now and popular or not I'm OK with telling the world I'm not a Seinfeld fan.

Regardless of that though it was a lot of fun.  One thing I love about my husband is how enthusiastic and expressive he is about things.  I love watching him while we watch movies, because he literally makes a million different facial expressions reacting to whatever is happening on the screen.  It's so cute.  Anyway, I love how excited this made him.  We walked across the park and up a bit and here it was.  We'd eaten just before so we went in and got milkshakes.  When we left Marcus was so happy.  It was a day to remember.

 Before the Seinfeld thing, we went to dinner at a southern restaurant.  We were dying for a little fried chicken which is kind of hard to come by in the city.

 Walking into this restaurant I really felt like I was in the south.  It was fun, and delicious.  What more can you ask for?!

 Alright I was sick when both pictures below were taken.  I look like I'm half dead, but it's because I was half dead.  These were pictures of some of our park outings in the past month.  I LOVE Central Park!!

 I love the picture above of Marc and Avery.  The two things that make Avery more excited than anything are 1. Fruit Snacks, and 2.  The noise of the door opening as her dad gets home from work.  She jumps off my lap and goes running for both.

The three pictures above were taken at the East Meadow.  We love it there.  It's a substitute backyard for these girls.  It's so nice to just let them run.  

Our ward here takes in the Ronald McDonald house.  Last week some people in the ward threw a birthday party for the older brother of a baby boy that was here for cancer surgery and treatment.  The little boy who was having the birthday was 4, and his little brother who was being treated was Avery's age.  The girls had a ball!  I was so impressed by the family, they seemed so strong and resilient.  Talking to them reminded me how fragile life really is and how blessed we've been. 

 These two make me laugh every day.  I'm SO happy I have two little girls!  They are so much fun.  They have really started playing together more and more, and it's so fun to watch.  I'm so thrilled they have each other...Nothing's better than a sister!

 

 Avery is so big!!!  I can't believe how much she's changed.  She is so much fun!

 Lastly and randomly as per usual...Our preschool group at the zoo last week.  It's so fun to have these kids together!
