Our good friends introduced my kiddos to a "gerbil" ball
Each individual cell is filled with air
the kiddo climbs into the middle and
can somersault or be rolled around the yard
Each one loved, especially little J
Are you a gerbil?

The girls and I returned from our annual NY trip
It's always an exhausting, fun, busy week
We went to the usual spots
Ate at a few new places
and were able to get tickets to view this
So worth it
What a feeling
This was my eighth trip to NY
Trip one provided a view of the WTC from the Statue of Liberty
Trip two was a year after the 9/11 attack, a visit to the church next door left tears in my eyes
Trip five, Rob's hotel was two blocks from WTC. Every morning we walked to the metro and peeked through the construction fence. It was a giant hole
Trip seven, movement was happening...things were being built
This trip, there is an eighty foot building next to the footprints of the WTC. There is a giant American flag draped over the building. There is purpose and energy
The memorials are beautiful, the flags and pebbles again bring tears to my eyes
Next trip the building will be even taller
