On Saturday Ooma and I traveled to CT (just an hour from Worcester) to visit with Ooma’s son Jeffrey, his wife Sarah and their family. I was eager to meet the people that I had heard so much about. I was not disappointed. It was a wonderful day – in perfect weather – with a wonderful family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeffrey cooked bratwurst and hot dogs for us on arrival and tacos before departure, so we were well fed. We also got a tour of their home – an 18th-century gem with lots of nooks and crannies, which I love – and lots of time to get to know the kids. It was Ooma’s introduction to the newborn and a chance to marvel at how much the other 3 had grown since her last visit. The two youngest ones were not yet old enough to talk, but the two oldest girls had plenty to say. And do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophia Bella, who has a late fall birthday, decided that she wanted a summer birthday instead, so we had an “Alice in Wonderland” birthday for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed every minute. Thank you, Jeffrey and Sarah, for making me feel so welcome. And thank you, Sophia Bella and Farren, for keeping me entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ooma would like me to point out that the Cheetos gift to Dennis was a request from his parents – his favorite “treat” food, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
