we just arrived home Monday afternoon from a 5 day vacation to Nana Judy and Bapa Ron's house! we had a very relaxing time, and loved being there!

while we were there, Nana and Bapa celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary!


38 years later, and the silliness is still going!





the girls and i went over to Storybook Land, as we do every time we're there!





I love getting photos of the girls on bridges holding hands...




we were super lucky to be at their house this weekend, because the state PBS programming people were up there, so we had a meet and greet with some characters from our favorite shows!

Livie with Curious George (Avery was too shy..)


Liv and Clifford, who looks rather scared here....hmmmm......


Avery and Liv with Martha the dog, from Martha Speaks...


And, Liv with Buddy the Bird....





We hadn't been up to Nana and Bapa's since January, so we were able to visit and see Uncle DJ, Aunt Rachelle, and Baby Noah... (It's super cute to listen to Liv say "Dj, Chelle, baby Noah?...)

Here is daddy with Noah! Noah wore a Dale Jr. shirt just for daddy!



We went to a museum that daddy took me to the first trip I ever made to meet his parents. the girls liked it! here they are in some sort of native American hut exhibit...





they also had an exhibit of all of the telephones through the years. Here, Avery is dialing our phone number on one of those phones where you have to put your finger in the circle thing, and then wind it clockwise to the top...remember those? I still had one in our basement when I was in high school....


she's playing operator and connecting phone lines.....


the girls and i spent a lot of time in the pool, and we got a lot of sun! Here is Liv posing with Baby Noah before she went out for a swim!


We had such a wonderful time! Thanks to all our family for the fun weekend!

In other news.....today was Liv's last day with Megan, her speech teacher. We will be starting with a new therapist next week, and we are pretty sad about that. We have really enjoyed getting to know Megan, and she has helped Livie so much with her speech!
