Mom flyin' solo

Ethan and I flew to NY a couple of weeks ago to visit with family and to witness Andrew's first communion (my nephew, Ethan's cousin). It was a great trip, but definitely full of some challenges. For one thing, Ethan was still battling his FOURTH ear infection since December, and a virus that was keeping him at a 101.5/101 fever. Not fun!

The first few days we stayed at grandma's house in Queens. This was a great opportunity for me to meet up with some old highschool pals whom I hadn't seen since 1996. Wow...I love to hear what's up with old friends, and visiting with them is even better. I was so grateful that grandma could watch Ethan while I went to the city for all my "little reunions". The second half of the week we stayed with my brother and his family. What a fun time getting the cousins all better acquainted! Ethan really took to his older cousins Andrew and Elena! Here's a picture of them on the trampoline. The dark-haired kids are the related ones :) The fair-haired boys are their friends Alex and Mark.
