"Mommy, Ariana's crazy!".....

....said Molly as Ariana ran loops around the house screaming. We were visiting our friends the Mutch's on Sunday and Ariana was screaming with joy as she, Molly and Max played together. First in the house, then outside in the backyard with the sprinklers and sidewalk chalk, it brought tears to several people's eyes as they watched them enjoy each other.

As I looked at the outdoor climbing gym complete with slide, I remembered taking pictures there with Max and Molly for our dossier as we started our journey for Ariana. Here we were, watching her climb around like a little monkey, Molly and her only months apart.

We are spending our last few days visiting with friends in NY after a lovely few days up at the beach with Nana and Gramps. Ariana met her aunt Norma for the first time and was able to see Aunt Virginia and cousins Suzie, Bob and Kay. We also got to visit with old friends from Tokyo.
My mother is back in the hospital - not the best news and certainly worrying, but she expects to get out today.

I hope.
