Catching Fireflies!

Fireflies are probably the coolest thing about the east coast. Last night the kids and I were watching the fireflies. There were so many!! It was a perfect summer night. Matthew and Caleigh went and got a net to catch some of the fireflies while Nicholas was off yelling at George Lopez to get out of the yard and somewhere between him yelling and us going inside he thought he'd kill a firefly. So after catching a few fireflies and playing outside, Matthew thought it was a good idea if he buried the firefly that Nico killed. (sometimes he can have quite a tender heart) So we had a little memorial service for Mr. Firefly. He lived a good life. We had a great night.

Caleigh had a spray bottle for defense against George Lopez (the deer)
Matthew was very proud that he caught some fireflies! He is a great Firefly catcher-er.
Firefly murderer! Jk I'm sure it was an 'accident'

R.I.P. Mr. Firefly

Burial place

New York = Opportunity.

New York is always full of opportunity and excitement. Any man have I experienced both of those! I love New York so much its a little ridiculous. There is only 3 other people that I can think of that love New York as much as I do. Stacie Wood, My Dad, and Clarence Jackson. "Being in New York is like falling in love over and over again every minute." I heard that off of Glee, I couldn't have said it any better myself. Stacie once told me "When I feel about a boy the way I feel about New York... I'll know its love." Stacie.. I agree.

Last week I had the opportunity to go with a wonderful friend Clarence to see the Broadway play 'Sister Act' (quite hilarious) I'm sure most of you have seen the movie with Whoopi Goldberg in it. Well, this showing was very important because the President of the United States was speaking to the crowd afterwards. So they had Whoopi introduce the play and introduce Obama following the play. Obama just spoke about things for his re-election next year. It was a pretty neat experience to see him. And boy did everybody there love him! I seriously felt like I was in a movie. It was great. Everybody cheered, clapped, stood, yelled, and just loved Obama. It was pretty funny. Definitely something I will never forget, it was an opportunity of a lifetime. Who gets to see the President of the United States? And we had orchestra seating.. 8th row. Yeah we pretty much rock. Afterwards Clarence, and I went to dinner with a couple friends to a restaurant called 'Robert' that is in Columbus Circle and has an amazing view of Central Park and Broadway looking north. Thats only one of many great places that I have been to!
