Family Fun

Liza and her sister pulled up to the apartment building and before the engine was off Eli was climbing out of his car seat, across Reed and into my arms. His smile was just as fun as me realizing I can barely lift him up. From that moment we hung in the apartment and played. Blocks and baths are like riding a bike.

You all have delivered these boys in better shape than I left them, not suprisingly, and it feels good to be together again.

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure I got A LOT better today!

I look forward to NYC park dates soon, and really can't wait for the DC park reunions.

May you all have great summers full of smiles and love. See you soon!

Eli has constantly talked about you, David. I can only imagine what his little soul experienced when he finally was in your arms again.

I will sleep well tonight.

Amen

Amen indeed. What a wonderful picture you painted. I love the idea of Eli grinning and squashing Reedy to get you. That's so sweet. Don't hold back on those precious stories. I LOVE them. Dana
