Days 4-5 Cleveland

On our way to Cleveland to see family, we made a small detour to the monument for United flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

It is a small monument that is made of of contributions from all over the world. They are planning a permanent monument sometime in the future. I have to say that this monument was much more poignant to me than any statue ever could be.

The names of all those who had died were memorialized. There were plaques, dolls, flowers, toys, flags,hats, shirts, etc. All of these had been left here with inscriptions of love and hope. It was very moving and emotional.

We got to Cleveland late and were excited to meet our newest nephew and cousin-Harrison (Harry for short).

Malcolm and Maddie had the time of their lives playing together. They loved all the same things-baking, playing in the dirt, coloring, dancing, animals, and the outdoors.

My sweet, beautiful, and very talented sister-in-law Sarah. Thanks again for taking care of us and for the great time we had.

The hammock was a source of fun and relaxation that all of us took advantage of. The weather was beautiful and we loved their fun backyard.

It was fun for Dan to celebrate his birthday with his brother Dave, and for them to get to watch a little football together.

Such a sweet family.

Saying farewell to my handsome little nephew. Madison gave Aunt Sarah a big hug and sadly pronounced, "I promise that I will really miss you." We love you guys and miss you!
