We've been very busy since we've moved back to the states. We spent a weekend in Ohio with my parents, brother and sister (and new baby!!) to celebrate my dad's retirement and birthday. It was great to spend time with family although challenging at times as well. The kids love spending time with their grandparents and enjoyed some time for tennis, gardening and playing on the cement by the house. The retirement party was nice and people had very nice things to say about dad as a leader and friend. He had an unprecedented number of years as director (Ok so there was only really one director before him but still...) and did great things for the program as well as his staff. Cameron loved to climb up in my dad's lap and give him hugs--it was really cute--a bit overwhelming for dad at times but much love was offered by cameron. We had a nice picnic for his birthday including some swimming and fun.
We then headed back to our house for a few days before my brother came back east to visit. It was great to have him swimming with the kids and he even set up a tent and they "camped" for a night. Kelly even came over for an overnight with Adam which the kids loved, "Adam coming to my house" cameron said over and over. After we sent them off we headed back to my parents for a night and then up to Mt. Vernon for a birthday party for the kids cousins. They had a great time playing with kids and getting to know their cousins better--never takes long since they are so close in age and they are fast friends. We then headed back home to get ready for the first day of school!!
