New York Post 2

Well here is my attempt to quickly post a few pictures from our adventures in N.Y. This picture was taken in Central park on our journey through it from the museum of natural history. This park is amazing and it was also very cold. I am sorry I have not posted more, but our days have consisted of 12 hours on the move constantly trying to see as much as we can. At this point I have accumulated over 500 pictures and still have one day to go!
And yes here it is the famous Rockefeller tree. Yes it is amazing overlooking the ice skating ring and it sure does feel like Christmas with all these people, and yes thanks to all of you who waved to us on National TV. Did you see us waving at you?



A stroll in Central park would not be complete with out a carriage ride in Central park. My dad surprised my mom with a ride through the park while Liz, Brittni, and I made our way over to "The Plaza" to see the inside, warm up and shake hands with Eloise. The Plaza was amazing and well let's just say we did not see Eloise other than a few pictures.





This picture though says it all! You may not be able to tell much, but the board with all the roman numerals is all those who died in 911 and although the monument is under construction and there is really nothing to look at it was amazingly one of the most somber moments I can ever express. The picture also shows a man his wife and son hanging a Christmas wreath on the fence in memory of there fallen loved one. The women was weeping and tears were being held back from the man hanging the wreath as they all sported jackets with fireman patches on them. At this moment God point to me the fact that our life is but a blink of the eye in comparison to eternity. But what really got me is how God showed me that people really matter to him and should matter to us. We do not know exactly how many of these fallen hero's new the Lord, but God does. Some are spending eternity with Jesus and some well ..... only God Knows. May God bless each of you and thank you for allowing my family and I to spend this time together on vacation. However I have to say we are really missing each of you and although we are enjoying ourselves, we are looking forward to sharing our experience with each of you. May the Lord Bless each of you and keep you safe!
Merry CHRISTmas!
