Today was a gorgeous, sunny and warm fall day in New England. Perfect, we decided, for visiting our two favorite apple orchards — one for cider and donuts (and wooden cutouts just screaming for adorable photo ops), and the other for kids' activities. So we drank cider, took photos, climbed on hay bales, visited farm animals, and laughed our way through a corn maze together. And for some reason — perhaps the sun, or the fresh, crisp air, or the pumpkin donuts — our two sweet girls had a wonderful time together, without a single tear or unkind word. They giggled and climbed and played and ran around and reveled in having each other as playmates — exactly the kind of thing I have always hoped for them. It made my heart happy, and I think their hearts were happy, too.
