Before we left for New York, I asked the kids to look online and tell me what they wanted to do in New York. My oldest had read Towers Falling and wanted to go to the 9/11 memorial museum. They also wanted to go to the Museum of Ice Cream and to the Sloomoo Institute....

Home is truly where my heart is. I miss being away from my family, but I am so grateful that we have been able to see each other twice within the past three months. My parents were in Atlanta during Memorial Day weekend, so I visited them and other family...
