Well…today was the last day of our 21 day visit. The time went by so quickly. We will really miss being here, but always look forward to coming back. We love you grandma and papa. Thanks so much for making everything so beautiful and easy. These are really special times for us. Today we went to the pool with a lot of the family. It was the first time that papa was at the Leonia pool in 30 years – the last time we were all on the swim team! Today Vaughn, Carolyn, Wayne and Jay met us at the pool. We all had a lot of fun. Ella did some swimming in 12 feet of water. She was not scared at all and really did a great job. Tonight, we had dinner at home and just hung out and had sweet, funny times. I think Ella is so excited to go back to San Francisco, but really sad to leave. Totally normal feelings that will work themselves out. Ella and AJ especially had fun with each other tonight. So Sunny/mommy – we’re coming home. Get ready for lots of love. We missed you. Grandma, papa, AJ, Michael, Milo – we love you guys so much and had such an amazing 3 weeks with you.

Ella took all these shots with my fancy camera. She’s getting good!
What a beauty.
Looking for fireflies one last time – we didn’t find anything.
It has been a wonderful three weeks. We just dropped you off at the airport and I miss you already. Love you. Mom
