We had a nice visit to Rhode Island for Christmas- despite being in the airports longer than we wanted to. Bella got to see her Memere and Pepere, meet her great grandma Vivian for the first time, and hang out with Uncle Dennis, Aunt Ilana and cousin Sophia and a whole lot of extended family. She had a blast hanging out with all her second cousins and just playing with Steve's old Little People airport, parking garage and Weeble Island (I know many of you are now reminiscing over these cool toys you once had too. Toys were so much cooler in the 70s...) She talks about her Memere and Pepere and now knows that they live in Rhode Island, and when we see airplanes in the sky, she sometimes says they are flying there. :)
While we did enjoy our trip, it would have been a lot better and felt more like Christmas if our whole family was there. Most of you know my nephew Finnegan has Cystic Fibrosis. He has been hospitalized for complications relating to his CF since February of last year and has been at a hospital in Georgetown for he last few months. My brother-in-law Patrick and sister-in-law Kerry are staying at the Ronald McDonald House there in DC. We hope and pray that he will soon be able to have a transplant so he can get healthy and get out of the hospital and enjoy life like a four year old should. Please keep the little guy in your thoughts and prayers.
