More Pictures!!!

The Whole Family


Rachel, Sarah, Andy, Grandpa, and Ashton on the beach in the Bahamas in front of very realistic palm trees.

Stefany came on the cruise the most pale and left the most pale as well.

This picture was Sarah's idea. You can see her in the reflection laughing as she takes the picture.

Our last night on the cruise.

Andy the rocket ship.

Everyone got virgin drinks and the bar tenders were not pleased.

Can you find Stefany?

Who is Andy smiling at? Stefany is really enjoying her food mmmmm.

Titanic prevention.

A late night of dominoes.

Kisses on the beach (this was posed).

P.S. Andy does not like this picture. :(

. . . And Stefany does not like this one.

Andy pulled us all to shore on this raft. He is very strong!

All the girls!

We were supposed to make funny faces. Who do you think has the best one?

Family Dinner.

Stefany starring as Forrest Gump.

The Hendrickson children enjoying an evening show.

More virgin drinks. Andy is not too happy about this picture.

Andy is excited for dinner time.

We Heart the Knicks

So Andy and I got to watch our first Knicks game of this season tonight. We both decided that we really love the Knicks. Andy has many reasons including his admiration of the coach and some other sports stuff blah, blah, blah. But I love them because of Nate Robinson the little 5 foot something guy that won the NBA Slam Dunk contest. In fact I don't even particularly enjoy watching him play basketball, I just really loved watching him dance during warm-ups. . . very entertaining. I want to go to a Knicks game just to watch him dance and run around like a little kid. Yay for Nate Robinson and Go Knicks!

Door Man

So Stefany and I are rising up in the world. As of a couple weeks ago our building has a door man. Of course this person is really just a homeless man who leans against our door. But he does open the door for us each time. And after we leave he makes sure that the door is locked so that nobody can get in. At some point I will give him a piece of pizza for his diligent work.

My Favorite Husband

I often tell Andy that he is my favorite husband when he makes me laugh or does something nice. While I truly mean this a compliment, Andy thinks that this is an insult. I just wanted to take an informal poll. Is calling someone/thing your favorite when you only have one a compliment or an insult?
