Family trip in August

Waaaaaay back in August, we got to go visit Grandma Jane and Grandpa Clint, and it was extra-special because Nana, aka Grandpa's Mommy, was down for a visit. She had never gotten to meet Nathan before, so it was really special to get them together:


I love how it looks like they're making the same face in that picture!

It was great to spend time with family, and also great because we rented a van to take our whole family, con doggie, up there, and there was so much ROOM! That was also when we first discovered our love of the story Nurk by Ursula Vernon--we all listened to it on CD on the drive up there. That was awesome!

Here's a picture of the reason we had to take the dog, aka, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!!!


(It's also proof of why we had to get a van to fit everyone, in case you didn't notice...)

Here's one of a long series of pictures in which we attempted to get everyone to sit still for a group picture. File that attempt under "completely unsuccessful, but entertaining!"

I'm sure there are many more things I could say tonight, but it's almost my bedtime, so I gotta run. Here's my two beautifuls--aren't they perfect?



Yes, of course they are.
