some family updates

we tried a new church last weekend. our neighbors invited us and also offered to drive. it was the first time we've been in a car in 4 weeks. we liked the church a lot. it's a presbyterian church and they do communion every week. the girls accidentally took the wine instead of the grape juice, so we've spent the week reassuring them they will not die. it's a small church of about 200. lots of small children and young families.
we are making friends with a lot of the families in our neighborhood. there are a lot of families who have been here for a decade or more. they have lots of wisdom to impart and we're grateful for the warm welcome.
we have lots of fun doing the stereotypical nyc stuff like the brooklyn bridge, china town, and times square, but we also do boring stuff like going to the movies.
we are completely unpacked and ready for visitors (hint, hint).
in answer to the anderson's comment, we have not been asked if we are yankees or mets fans (that's a little like talking about religion and politics here), but we are yankees fans...although clay is a fan only by association with me and the girls. also, we do venture into manhattan, but the pizza's better in brooklyn. if you'd come up here, we'd show you!!
