I had a wonderful time in Ohio visiting Chris and Natalie and kids. Chris went to a conference in San Francisco for part of the time that I was there so I was a help to Natalie while he was gone. The kids are great and busy. Natalie is feeling well and also very busy and tired!! We went to a farm that had fun things to do.
