vIt was a momentous week!!! Our entire extended family is all vaccinated except for the babies and Roen. My in laws and our youngest son came up from CT/NYC. Roen got to meet her Uncle Isaac in person. For half her life he has been the uncle who lives in my computer. The two hit it off in person and immediately became best friends.
I spent the weekend hosting and for the first time our dining room table was clear of the piles of art work created by me and Roen. It was free of brushes, paint and yogurt containers filled with water. All the chairs were being used as chairs and not flat surfaces for storing things. Saturday night as our large group sat around the table and babies cried while we laughed, we could hear laughter and chatter coming from neighbor’s houses all around us. People whose vaccines had finally kicked in, combined with the CDCs new mask recommendations and the beautiful spring evening meant that people all over were gathering with friends and family. That sound was so joyous.
