Today the family met to pick apples in Chester. Jessica, Mike, and Sabrina picked up my niece Lauren and Shahab at the train station in Morristown. Caroline and Natalie were supposed to pick me up but were running so late that I wound up going on my own and meeting them at the apple orchard. DIL Lauren and Emma came in one car while Josh and Jacob came in another because Josh was on call and there was the possibility that he might have had to leave early. So the only ones who did not make it were Dan (working), David (working?), and David B & Kelly (???). We spent almost as much time waiting for everyone to arrive as we did actually picking apples. Macs (the apple I use to make my Apple Crumb Cake) and Galas were ripe for the picking and pick we did. I got way too many of each and despite using 16 Macs to make two Apple Crumb Cakes when I got home, I still have too many Macs and Galas left.
The cutest photo of the day is of pregnant sisters-in-law Caroline and Lauren:
Caroline was tired and not in the mood for Mexican food. She decided to go home to rest and leave Natalie with me. We all headed into Chester for lunch at the Mexican Restaurant there. Not my favorite type of food and definitely not my favorite Mexican Restaurant -- but it was fun none-the-less. After lunch I left to take Natalie home and then drive back to my house. I baked two Apple Crumb Cakes and descaled the coffee machine - another first for me!
Supposed to have an interview with Morristown Hospital regarding volunteering later this week. I have no idea when I will have the time to do this. Tried to set up some lunch dates with two friends and it feels like I am busy all the time. Tomorrow is Natalie's first day of kindergarten and I will start seeing Jake on Mondays. Going to have to get used to this new schedule somehow! And still will need some time for me!
