Favorite hiding place..
Not sure if I have shared this before... But this is where Higgins has been a lot lately. I think it is mostly to escape his biggest fan - Virginy whiny! :)

"I thought it would have been bigger..."
A girls trip to New York was my friend Melissa's Christmas present from her husband. To have Me, Melissa, and Katie get together for a weekend. We decided that New York would be a great place to go since Melissa had never been.
After the events of last week it was a good reason to get away.
Here are some photos from our trip so far...
Last night after getting in to town we went to a ramen noodle restaurant called "ippudo". 4 hour wait to be seated but well worth the food and experience! One of Cupcake's friends from high school was in town and he said "let's call a spade a spade. Soup is just hot water with shit in it". :)
We ended up leaving after midnight! This girl(me) is NOT used to staying up and put that late. Needless to say we got a late start the next morning.
Cupcake got up and ran to get up bagels for breakfast! New York bagels are the best!
We ended up going to Central Park to show Melissa the park's beauty as well as get some fresh waffle that Katie had been talking up for hours!!! Yeah... The waffle cart was there... But no vendor to sit and sell us them. Bummer! Maybe tomorrow.
We walked to shake shack to have lunch! Love shake shack! Cupcake left us after lunch to go visit his parents and friends in Connecticut.
Next stop was grand central station. Melissa was blown away with how beautiful it was. I thought it would have been bigger.
We then headed to 30 rock... Rockefeller Center.
Then Times Square! This was pretty cool I would have to say! So many lights! We sat there awhile and just enjoyed the view.
We went to the Times Square Visitor Center and saw the a "retired" ball that had fallen years before. I thought the ball would have been bigger. Everything seems like it would be bigger! :) still pretty cool. We also got to write wishes for the next year on the confetti that they will drop during New Year's Eve next year! How cool!

Whispers...
The following is an email that my brother in law brian sent to chris and I the day we found out I miscarried... It touched me and I think it was beautifully written so I wanted to share. Hope you don't mind Brian!!!
Hey Bro, Hey Sis -
We are all so very sorry for the loss of your little one. We talked with the kiddos and said a prayer for you all. I wanted to communicate with you, but the day got late and I'm sure you guys are exhausted. So, I'm sending this note so you'll have it when you need it. We love you guys!
When I spoke to Chris today, I had no words. Mostly because I couldn't believe what has happened. I prayed to God for answers, as I did when Keith was diagnosed. As the day continued, I struggled to understand.
As I hugged Kim tonight, I mentioned to her that in times like this, it is hard to know that God is there, and that He cares. Erik heard this and said "Daddy, God is always there." From the mouths of babes... I went outside to gather some wood for an evening fire, prayed some more, and had it heavy on my heart that God speaks to us with these little whispers. To reassure us that He is there and His plan is good.
Later in the evening, as we prepared for bed, Cody grabbed our children's devotional and asked if we could read it tonight. We had not read it in quite some time, so it was odd that he chose to read it this night. He showed me the page... January 8th... titled... "Sometimes I Whisper"
There is no such thing as coincidence.
Regardless of our desires, or heartbrokenness, all things serve a purpose.
We are so sad. So sorry beyond words. My eyes are teary and my heart is broken. Yet, He is with us. He is with you. May He comfort you now.
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
Love,
Brian
