wrap up

Well people, we have returned. Two 11.5 hour days in the car. I think we listened to "A Year With Frog and Toad" 6 or 7 times - good thing we love it. The highlight of the road trip was meeting baby Christian at Aunt Sherrie's house - precious. Here are a glut of pictures from the 460 plus we took. Needless to say, it was a great Summer.

Nora and Katie. I thought Katie's s-curve pose was HILARIOUS! But she is gorgeous.


Nora LOVES the farm (and her boots, and alone jumping time on the trampoline).


Snuggles with Grandpa in the morning are the payment for coming to the farm. The kids willingly pay up. Grandpa is in heaven (most of the time)


Isaac and a rock - need I say more?


New baby Christian - ahh


Pirates with Uncle David


He has incredible amounts of energy, especially considering baby does not yet sleep at night - only during the day!


Isaac was VERY busy at Grandma's - VERRRRRRRRRY busy.


Nora was Aunt Mel's big helper. They mowed the lawn, cut flowers, went to the nursery and bought plants. About 3 hours into the drive home, she informed me she needed to go back to Grandma's to help Aunt Mel dig holes for the new plants.


Josh, David, and Emily eating the Higginbotham fav: chicken with bones (roast chicken)


Isaac eating chocolate


Emily and Joshua dancing.


Rock hopping with Dad at some falls, an excellent outing
