We just returned from a wonderful east coast trip to meet the newest addition of our family: my niece, Maddalena Grace. What a joy it was to meet her and have Lucy see her cousin for the first time. Maddie was welcomed into the church with a beautiful baptismal service, complete with lots of family and a personalized touch from the presider, Fr. Bob. It was so special to see Maddie in the 70 year old baptismal gown that my Mom, brother, sister, Lindsay, Lucy and I wore. The evening was topped off by a delicious Italian feast at a wonderful local restaurant. Thank you to my brother, Ray, and sister-in-law, Jessica, for a wonderful visit. Maddie is just precious.

| As always, Lucy loved her time with cousin Lindsay. |
The second leg of our east coast trip was marked by a trip into NYC. Lucy was truly in her element in the Big Apple, as she loved being around all the people and taking in the many sights and sounds. The weather was perfect and allowed for us to capitalize on all the things this walking city has to offer. Lucy went on her first ‘boat’ ride, and we enjoyed many of the parks that compliment the city. Thanks to my friend Layne, who was a wonderful guide and host. Your place is as cozy as can be, and we can’t wait for our next “slumber party” at your quaint little studio.
Enjoy all the pictures. They really tell the story better than I could.
