Weekend with the Lindens and a New Addition!

First and foremost at 1:05 today, Steven's little sister Millie Dasher had a baby boy! Yea for Millie and James! James Elijah Dasher Jr. weighs in at 8 pounds even!

We also had a fun weekend with John and Alanna and wanted to document with pictures! We hit some of the major sites one last time before we head out of the city.





Friday night we hit a Yankee's game. It was SUPER cold....but lots of fun. I spent most of my time looking for hot dog vendors to walk by because it gave me a slight bit of heat! The Yankee's won 6-1 against the Mariners.



Saturday we hit lots of Manhattan! We walked down towards the financial district. Here we are at City Hall park.


Then we visited the site of the World Trade Center, Ground Zero. Here is a cross that was found standing on the site a couple days after September 11.



And this is St. Paul's, which is the oldest public building still in use. It is across the street from Ground Zero and was a place that headed a lot of the relief efforts. There were some amazingly moving displays inside of people who were lost in the tragedy.



Then we headed down to battery park and saw some amazing Cherry Blossoms!



This is a piece of art that was near the Trade Centers and was damaged. They moved it to battery park with an eternal flame as a symbol of hope. Then we hit up a place on Pearl street for some yummy pizza!


They were actually our last visitors so we have little motivation to head to some of these place again before we leave in two weeks! We can't believe our year has flown by. It has been such an amazing time and we were happy to share it with you through our blog. I'm sure I'll write a goodbye post before it's all through, but I do find myself getting sentimental at random times....I suppose it is the small amount of time left combined with pregnancy!
