Places visited
Brian and Noah came to visit for a weekend. We went apple picking, made an apple pie, played with toys, read books, played games, and did even more fun things! It was a great weekend.
I spent a day with Taran, going to story time at the library in Voorheesville, New York with his mother, having lunch at his house in Knox, New York with his mom and dad, and then playing with him while his mother and father went to a show. I felt very lucky to spend time with them!
I also was able to spend a long weekend in New Jersey with Noah. We played little cars, went to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, rode bikes, read books, and generally had a great time together! I feel honored to be able to frequently spend time with my children and their families.
