I caught them coloring! That's Ella first and then Mika-they're 22 months old now.
We spent about a week in Philadelphia and had several outings planned but then I got sick-nothing serious just it put a kibosh on the outings. We did take a one day trip to Washington, DC-our daughter was testifying before a joint Congressional committee on human rights in China! Proud Mama? You bet!
Here's a bad hat hair picture to prove that I actually finally got there.
They allow no pictures inside-We saw a wonderful fashion exhibit and some quilts. DH always has my best interests at heart-I saw 2 quilts and thought that was it. He brought over a guide and she showed us how to pull out sliding display doors and there were 6 more quilts! Not one was one of the famous DAR quilts however. :(
We had a wonderful week in New York with our daughter-we went up to Hyde Park (FDR's home) and just generally enjoyed the snow! I stayed an extra day with her and went to the Metropolitan Museum and my most favorite place: the New York Public Library where I read some Godey's Lady's Book magazines from the 1870s, (See why its one of my favorite places?)
Happy New Year to all...its good to be home.

sounds like a good time other than being sick! glad you had a chance to visit family and see sights
Nothing better than time with the grandchildren is there? Unless it's with their parents too!
Glad you are home safe & ready to quilt up a storm!
for me its my kids and nieces and nephews, but they are a joy to spend time with as well. Glad you had such a lovely trip and finally got to the museum.
Glad you had an awesome visit with your family and played tourist too! Its always good to be home though
