God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

New York City (Lilly's 5 Year Trip)

Grandma Kusch takes each child on a trip when they turn five.  Grandma decided to take Lilly to New York city for her birthday to see the store windows, visit the American girl store, and see a Broadway show.  We flew late at night from Detroit to New York.  Lilly fell asleep on the plane.  I had to carry her from the plane to the cab.  We settled in for the night.
Day 1 - 
We walked around town, took  in all the decorations.  Then, we had tea at the Plaza Hotel.  After tea we went for a carriage ride around Central Park.  We went to a matinee performance of the Rockets Christmas Show, and ended the evening getting Lilly her own American Girl doll.  She picked Samantha.




































Day 2 - 
We woke up to snow all over town, but the snow turned to rain, which made a sloppy mess.  Lilly didn't seem to mind, even though her feet got soaked and we walked a great deal.  We started the morning with tea at the American Girl store.  Then, we walked around town and looked at shop windows.  We ended the day with the Broadway show 'Aladdin'.  Lilly fell in love with Aladdin and Broadway.  It was hard to get her to sleep.  She was so excited from the show.

Lilly's favorite window - she kept coming back to look at it over and over again

Day 3 - Heading home
