Live with Regis and Kelly!

I can't say enough about how much fun we had and how much we enjoyed the city, but my favorite, favorite part of the trip was being in the audience for Live with Regis and Kelly! It was the highlight of the trip for me. Regis was on vacation so Anderson Cooper filled in for him. Kelly is even cuter and skinnier in person! She would entertain the audience during the commercial breaks in her six inch Yves St. Laurent platform heels. She is a doll!! Anderson was pretty cute too and Gellman was funny warming up the audience. Queen Latifa and Rusty Wallace were guests, and Chef Nobu made sushi. (I was hoping for George Clooney, but oh well). After they finished the show they filmed another segment for the next day with James Marsden from Hairspray. Kelly changed clothes and Anderson only changed his tie. Anyway, I took more pictures here than anywhere else in the city!

View from the Top

This is the view from the top of the Empire State Building, 86 stories high. If you squint you can see the Statue of Liberty.

The World Trade Center Site

There are buildings at the site that are still damaged seven years later. Danny and I were awed when we saw the site. The steel cross in the top photo actually fell from the towers in this exact spot and fell in the shape of a cross!

Wall Street

We were on Wall Street when the dow rose 900 points!

Our Hotel in Times Square

This was the view from our hotel room in Times Square!

Wicked

We went to see Wicked at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway. It's hard to see but there is a big bat at the top of the theater. The special effects were really good.

Central Park and Tavern on the Green

For you Bravo Fans!

I'm obsessed with the Bravo! Channel. Recognize these sites...the Parsons School of Design from Project Runway and Zarins from the Real Housewifes of NYC?

Gotta love a Weenie Dog

Dixie keeps us in stitches. Really, she's like a person this one. Always into something, making faces, sleeping in our laps, is scared of the wind, has a fierce eat-you-up bark, but is so sweet that she doesn't meet a stranger. So this is her entertaining us (and Danny entertaining her with his new golf club). Can you hear her growl?

MSU vs. Auburn

I'm guessing that for the next few months my blog will consist mainly of MSU games and Kendall in her cheerleader uniform. We just can't get enough photos of our girl! Kendall did a great job cheering for MSU against Auburn. Even though the game didn't turn out like we hoped, she kept smiling all the way through.

Anniversary

I'm a little late posting this since our anniversary was September 9, but I have been in Orlando for a meeting this week without a computer! It's been two wonderful years with my man. Hopefully we'll get back to Martha's Vineyard on a future anniversary before we get too old! Thanks to all our family and friends who made the day so special.

MSU Game Day

Kendall cheered at her first home game as an MSU co-ed cheerleader yesterday against SE LA! She did so well and was too cute in that MSU uniform. We took pictures of her all day...tailgating, at the team walk-through, at the kiddie pep-rally, and at the game. Notice the blue chair she is sitting in...a holdover from Danny's Ole Miss tailgating days. He couldn't totally give up the ghost. My parents also enjoyed the day with us. We are all so proud of our little girl!

Celebrations

We've had a few events to celebrate over the last few weeks...Danny's birthday, Mom's birthday, and Reed's birthday. Reed graduated from Infantry School, and Kendall cheered in her first game as an MSU cheerleader against LA Tech. Reed has left North Carolina and is safe and sound in Missouri and will be starting his specialty training in October in the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear fields.
