a rare moment

They are all playing together nicely at Nana and Nonno's house. Must be the California air.

a very long plane ride

We didn't realize the flight to California would be 6.5 hours! It was a long time with a little guy who just wanted to get up and go, but we survived with the help of a few toys, a plane book, the window, patient co-passengers, and a 45 minute nap.

She was SO TIRED!

Grandpa hats

Too cute!

off to church

Had to get to church while in NY to see our St. Mary's family!

the time we didn't get to go ice skating

We tried to go ice skating, but the session was full. Luckily, E found the mounds of ice left by the zamboni and didn't stay sad about not getting to skate for very long.
