reunion time

Every summer my family gathers for a weekend of fun, catching up, amazing food, and unforgetable, melt in your mouth, falling apart, tender brisket (thanks to my dad's steller smoking skills and his kick-butt-and-taking-names BBQ pit!) Now that Keith and I are far away, it's not only a chance to see family, but also to reunite with friends. Isaac took his first dip in a swimming pool. He loved it. I think he adored being lavished upon. I'm pretty sure his cutey bottom did not hit solid ground the entire trip. He was passed from person to person, lap to lap. Tuesday at daycare, they reported he screamed every time they tried to put him down. Vacation detox. Poor lil' lovie. I cannot say much more except that we dearly miss our family and friends, we do NOT miss the Texas heat, but we do miss gas prices down south and Tex Mex. Enjoy the pics.

Isaac with Grant and Amelia...who deeply enjoyed Isaac's stay at their house, waking up Tita and Isaac every morning about 6:45 to ooh and coo over their baby cousin. They were very kind to offer Isaac their teddy bear, books, blocks, and Curious George doll. Isaac was a little overwhelmed at first, especially when the three of them were in the back seat of Lauren's car, but I think he got used to them.



Family bonding.





Pool shots.






Hangin' with friends...First, we met up with Janna (who has been my unconditional, ever-loving friend since pre-school, except for 4th grade when for some reason Erin Vester and I decided to shun her because she always got let out to recess first which meant she got to the tire swing first. seriously. luv u nan!) Janna, and her amazing husband Aron, now have two beautiful twin girls, Lauren and Emily.




Then, we met up with Ruthie and her hubbie, Josh. Isaac really like them. We actually had a great time, Isaac was just a little overstimulated by this point.



Love to all! We miss you!!
