It was a very rainy Friday. Sunshine entered when 2 Newburyport sisters and 2 more siblings from Peabody arrived to listen, read, play and to enjoy craft and snack time!

Hooray for Nora, Lillian, Louise and Emerson and their mamas Alexandra and Larissa!

Sisters and a cousin visited the Emma today. We read a favorite book about a zookeeper, his wife and many zoo animals.
