So our east coast geography was a little rusty, thinking New York City was our northern-most destination...as it turns out, Boston is 4 hours further north! So on our way through New York the first time, a good and generous friend snapped this photo of us on the roof of our Manhattan hotel. Too foggy and rainy and dark to tell, but the Empire State building was just 3 blocks behind us.

Now we've been to Boston and come back to New York to see a few more friends, before we begin our trek West next week.
As you think of us, our biggest felt need is to find ways to keep our boys rested, nutrient-infused, and enjoying life, which goes a long way toward our enjoying life, as you can imagine. We're learning that hotel-hopping and big-city living is a whole different animal, especially when it comes to taking good care of our kiddos.
We are hearing from our friends overseas that our Visas should be approved by April 10, a bit later than we'd hoped, but we'll take what we can get.
