We’re home! 6 states, 2 days, 1 hotel, and a lot of fast food later, we made it back to Charlotte, NC. It’s good to be back. This is a little while in coming, but here are a few pictures of our time in New York!
First, a few pictures of the boys. I miss these kids so stinkin much! How sweet are they? If I had a bigger house and their mom would allow it, I’d adopt them all and bring them down to Charlotte!

Lovely Courtney Bell was also part of the NYC reunion. Love this picture of these two!
We made a stop in Boston on our way home to visit family. My Aunt Susie watched Ellie so we could explore the city for the day. This was taken at Boston Harbor.
This is the pond where the ducks lived in "Make Way for Ducklings"!
And with our New England experience complete, we packed our bags, crammed our trunk full, and headed home!
Awesome, Sarah. Great pictures and overview of this summer. I espicially enjoyed the pictures of Ellies fondness of the car seat. Somethings never change.
Oh, how sweet!! You had quite a summer!! Ellie is already a seasoned traveler! Glad you were able to fit in lots of fun this summer as well as doing the internship. God is good!!
