My sister came to visit this week and it was great to have her in town!!

She helped take care of Harry and cook with Meme but mostly, she was good for my soul. There is just nothing like a sister and aunt around. I just wish she and her family lived down the street!!! I don’t know where in the evolution of societies it became acceptable to settle down away from family, but it was a silly move. Pun intended. That said, I’m thankful for frequent flier miles and Delta and iPhones and Skype.

While here, Carrie and Mom did get some time to enjoy NYC for a bit. They got drinks at Five Napkin and went for walks in the park. We even sent her home with some Ommegang for Rick.

Michael and Ben are already into their newest little cousin. They swaddled a bear and built towers to guess Harry’s height.
