Ben, Emily and I spent the day in New York. December is absolutely the
best month to be in the City. It is so spectacularly beautiful.

After attending meaningful a Eucharistic adoration service
with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal,
the snow started to fall. It was the first real snowfall of the year.
Oh, so beautiful!
