Labor Day Weekend, Part 1

Still attempting to get caught up here, so a few quickie posts that deserve more attention than they will get, unfortunately!

A month and a half ago (!!!) we went spent Labor Day weekend visiting beloved New England, enjoying the hospitality of Brad and Jen and Gaius. Cora and I hadn't been out there since she was a wee little baby, and all the cousins have changed much since then! Saturday we arrived in the afternoon, hung out, and some went for a dip in the pool.

Cora eventually declared that it was "Too cold!"



Sunday was a big barbecue with Geoff's whole side of the family at Brad and Jen's. It was terrific to see everyone and we all had a great time!
