friends, food, shopping and one crazy hailstorm

we had our first trip home (to the U.S.) from march 25th thru april 5th. it was one of our top 5 fave trips. we got to spend a night in philly, and i said good-bye to my cardiologist. (once we move to north carolina, i'll have a new one). we celebrated 40 years of antonio, saw all the mack kids, and spent some time catching up with chris and anna-lena. the millers provided deluxe, all-inclusive accomodations... as well as some good laughs. we really miss them. baby ben entertained us at breakfast with the woodruffs, and we met the people who bought our old house. a dear friend from NYC came to visit, and altough it was too short, i really appreciated seeing her. we ate all our favorite foods, shopped till we dropped for baby zac, and watched my belly grow by the day. there was an incredible hailstorm one night, golfball size hail! some beautiful weather and some bad, but nothing could have dampened our spirits... we realized how great we had it and enjoyed living our old life for the week.
