This past Thursday I took Katie to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. I was originally worried that I've gone about this whole Broadway thing all wrong. You see, the first one we went to was Wicked, and I've been afraid that it will be all down hill from there. I must say that Mary Poppins, however, held it's own. We both really enjoyed it. Katie might have liked it a little too much, as she kept going on about the guy playing the part of Bert...
On the way back home we had an amazing view of Manhattan. On any regular night the view is spectacular, but on Thursday it was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. NYC continues to honor those who died in the tragedy of 9/11, through various ways, including shining beams of light up into the sky where the twin towers used to stand. Much like when the commissioner broke out the bat-signal to get Batman's attention. You all know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, as we walked downtown through the financial district we first noticed the lights. It was amazing! There were low clouds in the sky, which made it all the more amazing. It kinda almost felt like hallowed ground there as we walked by the New York Stock Exchange & Trinity Church and seeing the lights shining in the background.
I tried to take some pictures from the ferry as we left Manhattan, but the quality of pictures from my phone aren't the greatest. Here is the picture of it that I wanted to take.
Moving on... Josh is doing really well. He is really developing a fun personality. He talks a lot now, and has become really interactive. Katie is doing great, despite being a little sick lately. She is really excited with Young Women's now that she has another counselor to help her. I was able to watch BYU beat down UCLA yesterday, so it goes without saying that I'm doing well. Here's a picture of the latest art project Katie and Josh did while I was out with the missionaries tonight.

Congratulations on the baby! I'm so excited for you guys!
Congrats! How exciting on the new little one to come.
I think it is so cool you live so close that you can go see a Broadway show for date night. I've always wanted to live back east, but I don't know if that will ever happen. Maybe we'll be able to visit while you guys are still there.

As soon as I read Katie was feeling sick...I knew that was it! Congratulations!!!
Congrats, dido on the last comment, when you said she was sick, I knew....must be the obvious clue and then th pic definitely helped.
Josh is going to be such a great big brother!
I'm so glad that you saw Mary Poppins. I love it, too. Also, cute little trick. You made me work for the big brother info. I like it.
Congrats on #2 that is so exciting. Ryan I think it is sweet that you took your wife to a broadway show!!
Congrats you two! Josh is getting so big and he is SO cute. I hope you feel better soon.
yipee!
I don't know... that doesn't look like much of an art project. I'm not one to criticize, but construction paper and a marker? Seems pretty basic to me. HAHA. Seriously, congratulationz. That is very exciting.
