Better late then never, here are the pictures from our two-week stay with my parents!

The Fourth of July was AWESOME, with almost the entire family there. Here are all the kiddos . . . and Dave . . . so all the kiddos.

Nora, being amazed by the fireworks, and beloved Aunt Crystal.

Lia's way of being amazed by the fireworks. She learned quickly from her older cousins!

I'm always a sucker for pictures of my girls from the back. They're super cute :)

Miss Sadie and Angie, still up for the fireworks! (Kind of amazing on both counts. Angie slept through my entire visit there . . . . )

Here's the reason for our stay: swimming lessons at my parent's next-door neighbor's pool. They turned out fantastic! Here's Lia, my little otter.

Here's Nora, during one of the few non-screaming moments:)

Go figure--Nora is afraid of ALL animals . . . except this, the most ugly dog on the planet. As soon as she saw "Luke", she followed him around till time to go! Her rationale: He was cute! Okay, that's debatable.

Here's the wonderful Grandma who kept us for 16 days. Go Mom! (Yes, she is reading a 20 year-old encyclopedia to Nora. It's one of her favorite things. I've tried to tell her about google . . . . )

My mom "relaxing", but still on Grandma duty, reading to Nora again.

Dave, Crystal, and me at the BEN FOLDS CONCERT!!! Super good times.

We looked out the back window, and saw this. HOW CUTE CAN YOU BE?!

Oh yeah, a very happy reunion!
