FAMILY TIME

We've just finished three weeks of family vacation, spending time in Philadelphia, New York and Florida. It was great to see our children and catch up over many conversations. Skype is great, but face to face time is always best.
Time with grandchildren is precious especially since we live so far away. Here by popular demand is a photo of Grandma Jan enjoying time with our youngest, Amara, age one.
Our time in Manhattan with Jeannie, Chris and Amara is always unique. Their huge apartment complex is very close to a lovely children's park. Stores selling almost everything and a dozen different restaurants are within walking distance. A subway stop is right on their corner and taxis are always on the street. We know why so many who live in Manhattan do not own a car.
And then there is Florida. Lots of heat but also plenty of swimming pools and lovely beaches. We were happy to visit with Kent, Shelly, 6 year old Simone and 3 year old Cormac. Papa plays with them in the house and in the water. Grandma sews dresses and does a lot of reading with them.
You may be wondering why this blog all about our family? The main reason is to prove to myself that I finally know how to load photos on my blog (about a year after my only other attempts that failed.)
Don't worry I will not continually feature family. I do hope to give you more photos from Hanoi in the days ahead.
