Amid therapy and lots of work at home, we took the kids bowling for the first time. Their grandpa is an expert bowler who has bowled a perfect game multiple times, so he was showing everyone the ropes.

We went swimming at an indoor pool. Emilia is so much more confident in the water now.

We flew to New York to visit Lilit. The girls had such fun together.

A great day with Lilit, some sightseeing with our friend Hripsime, and a wonderful reunion dinner with a friend who has also adopted from Armenia. Her older daughter and Rex were roommates in Yerevan and she picked up her younger daughter at the same time we did Ella. It was so nice to catch up.

Our last day with Lilit. And another great dinner date with a fellow adoptive family. The two Gyumri girls do not remember it, but they were in the same group at the orphanage for a while. They connected very quickly.

Time to go home. The kids were angelic through the entire trip.
Friday, March 25
We caught up on work at home, attended therapies, did some shopping. And on Friday afternoon, the kids finally needed a break, so we paused life for several hours and just relaxed.

A lovely day with Grandma. Lots of sunshine, good food, and fun.

Happy Easter. We skipped the bunny and the baskets this year because we really did not need any more excitement (aka stress) and just had a quiet day at home. Homework, laundry, leftovers, outdoor play, naps.
