So the weather has turned cold and we don't necessarily love the fridgid breeze that blasts through you when you reach West End and numbs you by the time you reach the front of our building. This is one time when the view of the Hudson doesn't quite make up for the shock of the wind!
We are busily winding down our journey here in the big city- we are stuck in the so sad vs. so happy state of mind. We have made some fantastic friends here that we will miss tremendously, we love all of the amazing activities and outings we have been on- but we realize that all good things must come to an end...and then begin again!
We have been without a computer for a little bit, but were rescued by our friends who lent us their laptop. So what this means is, no pictures of our activities! We have been to the National Museum of the American Indian at Bowling Green- it is an incredibly beautiful building and there were some amazing things to see there. They had some people demonstrating their handy work at beading and feather works; quite remarkable.
Today I took the kids back to the Brooklyn Children's Museum, where Bella wants to spend the rest of her life. Eli wore himself out and slept the entire subway ride back- nearly an hour. He would have slept longer but the Arctic breeze was a little difficult to sleep through on the walk home.
We shipped home some of our things on the truck that was heading from the Cathedral back to Warrensburg; we have just had to do a little shopping since we have been here.....not much, really! Let the shopping begin!!!! The Christmas season is definitely descending upon New York- we really love the decorations at Columbus Circle- they light up in sync with the holiday music! We look forward to seeing the tree at Rockefeller Center on Friday- then again next week after it is lit. Tomorrow we are going to a play that some ward members are in- The Importance of Being Earnest. It just stacks up from here!

You are so lucky to do all these fun things with your kids -- I'm sure you'll be planning some return visits! Will you still keep your blog when you return to MO?
I'm so sad we never made it out to see you. It has been so fun to follow you through your adventures in NYC. Too bad it'll come to an end.
Yes we will certainly plan on trips back- and there are other organ building opportunities out here as well, just not soon enough! And yes, I will keep up the blog when we return to Missouri- it just might not be as interesting!
Ugh. I want to go to New York. Badly. Oh well, I'll go on my honeymoon to Italy and leave you all in the dust. No offense :)
Give everyone a hug from me and tell them Manda says hello! I love you all, and forgive you for not packing me in a suitcase across the U.S. on a plane. ;)
I wish so badly to be in New York during the holiday season. All the great movies I have watched depicting New York make it look so fun and festive, I am jealous. I wish you the best as you travel home, hopefully we can make it out to Missouri some time next year. Take care, love ya!
We still have a week and a half left...there is still time!!
the kids are screaming in the background, maybe I will just fly out with Jonah and take a break, if only I could!
