Girl you are always on the move. Talk about a packed full adventurous life. You definitely look like you know your way around NY. It was great seeing you for a little while. We sure miss you guys.

Wow, Mel, you are making so many fabulous memories with friends from all over! You always were an extrovert - even as a little baby. Everyone loved you and you loved them - and it sounds like that is still the case! If you keep up this pace, you'll stay plenty fit and thin, so no worries about your "friend's" comment! Actually, you could put on quite a few pounds and still look great, so "Hakuna Matata!" Love you, honey!

I love visitors, but they do have a way of wearing you out!!!

What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving???

Great job on the video, you are so artistic! It made me laugh, smile, and want to cry (because it's over). I can't believe all the fun we had in just a few days. Thanks for the great time. We love your family!

For some reason Owen thought we had to return home the same way we came and started crying when I told him we weren't flying back to NY. We can't wait to see you guys again.
