It has been a busy couple of weeks. The whole family went to DC a week and a half ago to see some good friends and for me to run in the Marine Corps marathon. We had such a great time! Emma and Liam made some new friends and we got to see some old friends that we haven't seen in way too long. They were gracious enough to open their home to us...so we had 5 kids running around for 5 days! Too fun! I think Emma is still adjusting to not having her friends with her all of the time.
We had a great time going to a couple of museums and just enjoying the city. It makes it hard to come back to Albany. It was so nice to just be able to walk or jump on the metro to get to everything. And there is just so much to do there...for FREE!! And I just loved the "community" feel that we experienced in our friends' neighborhood. It was such a blessing to watch neighbors who truly cared about each other..regardless of color or background.
(side note...i am now in an albany funk. it seems to happen every time i go out of town. albany can be such a tough place to live. i think a lot of people have forgotten how to reach out to others here. this is a fairly exclusive town and it is easy to feel lonely. i sometimes long to live somewhere where it feels like their is true community. all that said, we have been blessed with some amazing friends here. )
And the trip was topped off by my running a marathon with one of my best friends.
What a great trip! Thank you Tom and Leah for all you did to make it so much fun!
And then, of course, we had Halloween last weekend! We had a great time going trick or
treating.
