Annie, Josh, Lucia and Micah were waiting for Josh and me when we got home, having driven up from Philly. The following morning, we headed off to the airport to pick up Nat and Sarah and Genevieve and Seth AND Brynne and Bo and Marin and Willa!

This was the scene at Gritty McDuff's in Portland after we met up.

Yesterday was lovely: breakfast pizza, Ocean Point Walk and Annie's turn to make dinner - fabulous chicken soup!

Best news of all: Carla and Aaron arrived to make our little group complete.

Don't know what's in store for today but tonight? Lobstah!!

Quick stop for ice cream  . . .

I am one lucky Zia.
