well, i guess NY it is for us.  wasn’t even close!  And here I was hoping to find out the meaning of “what happens here, stays here”.  Since everyone was so enthusiastic about NY, I’m counting on you guys for some help.  I need  recommendation for places to visit, restaurants to dine at, anything/anywhere you think we should do that would truly make this NY trip NY special.

Vote for our next family vacation destination:  New York or Las Vegas?  We’ve never been to either. 

wow, it’s been two months since my last update.  Abigail started
walking around 10 months old and now she’s climbing stairs, roaming
around as if she owns the place, and causing general chaos.  But we’re
so thankful for how God has blessed us with her.  We celebrated her 1
year old birthday today by treating ourselves to some good Chinese
food.  Abigail was more excited about the fish in the tank then the
food.  Unfortunately she’s allergic to fish just like me. At least she
likes rice as much as daddy and mommy.

One of her favorite things to do now a days (besides making a mess of
everything) is to help out around the house.  She’ll grab things and
hand it to us excitedly as if she’s sharing.  Other times when we’re
vacuuming she’ll try to help push the vacuum cleaner.  I’m just waiting
for the day when she’ll give me a back rub and buy me a Mac PowerBook. 
Here are some pictures and videos:
