weekend update

this may have been our best weekend yet in new york. friday night we ventured up to chelsea market, quite possibly my new favorite place in the city, for a tasty quick dinner. when we arrived home i was surprised with our apartment filled with friends! ben had put together a half birthday surprise party for me. he's the best. delicious chocolate cake was involved and william snuck a raspberry.

on saturday we headed up to central park to go rowing. it was fun seeing the skyline from the water. and on our way home william decided to mess his pants, then dad's pants, and finally the subway floor. our first major public blowout!

we also walked onto our first movie set. men in black 3 is being shot near our building and we accidently walked through a scene being filmed. some extras told us to move along. as a result of the filming about 15 old cars were parked in front of our building over the weekend. it was fun to look out the window and feel like we'd gone back in time.

and of course it was father's day! william showed his appreciation for his dad by almost making it through sacrament meeting. records of happiness at church were broken today. we had a lazy afternoon of steak, presents, napping, and golf. then we ventured to the bang on a can marathon at the world financial center to listen to some music followed by a skype visit with the shafer family. happy daddy's day to b. with just six months of experience as a dad i don't think you could be any more perfect.
