The pictures are sooooooo good of everything! I haven't been to NYC for years and years but Hubby went last year (I was sick with the flu! aaaccckkkk!)and saw a lot of the sights that you saw. As with your Hubby he didn't think he would like the city but LOVED seeing everything and called me every few hours telling me where he was and what he was seeing!<BR/><BR/>So glad that Hanna settled in well and that her sister is accepting her and they are becoming buddies. My two just have such a great time racing and tearing through the house playing! They would be so lonely without each other.<BR/><BR/>Those socks look so comfy and warm! Hey where is the picture of the new hat?????????<BR/><BR/>We still haven't tracked down the blogger that published our information but are working on it. Not that we can do anything about it but would like to know who did it and why. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us, it does my heart good to see families together having such a wonderful time!<BR/><BR/>Happy 2008!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-3188262326790748302008-01-06T14:46:00.000-05:002008-01-06T14:46:00.000-05:00Happy New Year to you and yours, Kerri! It looks ...Happy New Year to you and yours, Kerri! It looks like you had a lovely trip, and I'm glad you didn't have to battle the traffic too horribly. I absolutely dread the trip to Long Island for that very reason, and there seems to be no good time to travel there anymore, but you really lucked out! Isn't it funny how many upstate NYers have never been down there, even though it's only a 4-hour drive? I've met so many folks here who are almost proud of the fact that they've never been to NY and probably will never go in their entire life! In any event, I'm glad Ross could overcome his misgivings and have a good time. Oh, and I also vote to see a shot of you in the bomber hat. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-81399592208053294142008-01-06T09:32:00.000-05:002008-01-06T09:32:00.000-05:00Your visit to the big city sounded wonderful and p...Your visit to the big city sounded wonderful and perhaps that's what I needed...a driver who knew where they were going. hehehe.<BR/><BR/>That cathedral is lovely and I would have loved to have gone to a Christmas service in there. The cathedral reminded me of the mission I used to attend as a child. I thought it was the most magnificent and beautiful place I had ever been in, but of course it wasn't as large as St. Paul's Cathedral.<BR/><BR/>A stroll through Central Park sounds lovely too. KP & K are so lucky to have such a nice centrally located apartment looking over the park. Seems like they live right in the middle of all the excitement of the big city. So glad that Ross enjoyed the visit to the city and surprising that it was his first time there, but sometimes we just don't take the time to visit those places that are closest for us to visit. I've never been to the Kentucky Derby although I've had tickets to attend many times.<BR/><BR/>Those socks & mittens are the kind of gifts I love...the gifts that are handmade just for you. They mean so much and I would just cry if I wore a hole out in the socks.<BR/><BR/>Hanna looks quite content in her new home and I'm sure that sour-pus Ilsa will slowly come around once she realizes how much fun it is to have a playmate.<BR/><BR/>All in all your Christmas adventure sounded wonderful. And with such a lovely family, I have no doubts that you will have a wonderful New Year in 2008.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Sandy & Jimmy<BR/>xoxoxo<BR/><BR/>ps. Jimmy said I made a mistake in the number of trusses in my post. He said, "We weren't building a warehouse! There were only 12 trusses."<BR/>And where on earth I got the number 33 is beyond me. Must have been just a number stuck in my head.Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-57876102868023194842008-01-05T19:26:00.000-05:002008-01-05T19:26:00.000-05:00Happy New Year!
