Hi, again, folks! Gordon does a great job of keeping our blog updated, and I always think afterwards, "Hey, I should put some pictures and stuff up too." Then I never do. So, here's what I'm calling the photo-dump blog. Below are headings and some fun additional photo re-caps of things you may have already read about. Enjoy!
New York:
We had lots of fun! In no particular order, here are some cool things we did and saw. Special thanks to Mike, Linda, Graham, and Chelsea for being awesome fun and delightful tour guides. We love you guys!
An upstate trip to FDR Mansion and Grounds, anyone? Pictures from Hyde Park, NY:
Mammaroneck! (and near by)
Into the City!
Graham inspects a book at...
The NY Public Library! (of Ghostbusters and The Day After Tomorrow fame.)

Mike and Linda's famous Blackberry Chicken:
Cloisters, how I love thee:
Gordon played a high-scoring round of LOTR pinball before the great house purchasing went through in the Woodlands!

An upstate trip to FDR Mansion and Grounds, anyone? Pictures from Hyde Park, NY:
Mike and Gordon discuss the architectural merits of the stable/garage. None of us would mind living there.
Ah, HERE's the Mansion.
Look, a deer out the window!
There is no better way to get to know a city than walking around in it in the rain.
I'm so glad we got to do it on Gordon's first trip in!
World's Largest Toy Store: FAO Schwartz!
Welcome to our world!
MY FAVORITE CITY PICTURE:
Initiatory Kanish in the Rain.
(One of my favorite things to do in NY, only $2)
Grand Central Terminal Food Halls
Want to buy some gourmet spices while waiting for your train?
Trains are fun.
MoMA and Met Photos:
Love it.
I was hoping they would come to life and follow him, but we didn't say the magic words.
I love this sassy girl.

Gordon tried Grava Lox on a bagel in Grand Central on our way in one morning...
reviews were mixed.
Famous Carnegie Deli with Graham and Chelsea!
The sandwiches are huge.
The pickles are home made.
The setting is fantastic!
Shake Shack is also delish!
I love this place. Part of me will always feel at home here.
See ya next time, NYC.
Other Early Summer Shenanigans:
I bought art from my old Rommate, Virginia May!
Yay!
Strawberries are yummy.
Food Truck Fun
Mmm... we drove home happily into the sunset.
(Forgive the graininess.)
We had a delicious dinner at Brian and Kristina's!
Gordon played a high-scoring round of LOTR pinball before the great house purchasing went through in the Woodlands!
It was so fun having Hilary and Ian visit with the kiddos from China!
Andrew's Pre- Bridthday Party was fun! Almost 4 years old, woza!

Gordon and I went to Utah for the 4th of July and got to see lots of Reeses and Friends!
Grainy Sibling Picture! This was my only pre-phone death family photo on the 4th. :P
We had a great tour of Brigham City and new temple grounds with Grandpa Reese!
Rob and Michelle came with the girls to visit in Houston, and we had a blast!
Grandma Debby and I went with Emma on a fun late birthday outing. It was great!
Charlotte had fun just hanging out at Grandma Debby's new place.
Charlotte seemed to enjoy exploring the unfurnished living room.
Emma enjoyed her Tiana birthday doll. ("Tiana is my favorite!")
And oh my goodness, then there was Papas Steak House.
Dinner at the fabulous Papa's Steak House downtown was, well, fabulous.
(Monty Python's The Meaning of Life movie clip that Rob shared with us after was necessary, but oh so applicable.)
We meant to take more pictures of the amazing food here, but we ate it too quickly and forgot.
Here's what we did get.
... and this was one of many entertaining quotes on the bathroom wall.
In short, yum!
Other fun things?
I got new Glasses
The House is coming right along!
Eric and Haley came to visit!
(What the what, no pictures! See earlier blog.)
That's all for now, folks!
(Oh, and baby boy is incubating nicely. We'll keep you posted on the details!)
