It was a road trip for the ages... 3 kids... 10 dvd's ... packages of snacks ... juicy cups and 650 miles to go .... to Uncle Bill's wedding in PA ...
We drove... we laughed we had fun .... the best kid of the bunch.... surprise ... it was willa. she would sleep .... and wake up with a smile... the worst.. the soph a loaf was pretty particular regarding her choice of snacks.. movies and sippie cups... actually the trip got off to a bit of a rough start as we decided to augment the minivan with the thule box on top... transfering wasn't so easy and in the middle of it our windshield from the other car got busted up by a errant rock... ugh glass everywhere a bit of a set back... ... once we got to uncle bob's we enjoyed a couple days with cousin tracey, her husband jeremy and there kids. Uncle bob and aunt irene where great hosts even giving us there bedroom for our party of five... once we made it to PA the week flew buy as we got ready for uncle bill's wedding and enjoyed being with pappi and granny Henry the alleged ring bearer did bear a cute tux but alas couldn't stomach the walk up the aisle. he did however end up flirting with bridesmaids with his camera skills and then on the dance floor with his famous "donkey kick" signature move . I wonder if this is a sign of things to come... sophie made it to the wedding and also made her self known with a couple of antics and some very cute dance moves... Upon our return aimee went back to work 3 days a week as the family tried to get back to normal.. is it ever normal...
the rest of july was pretty low key as we relaxed a bit on the weekends and henry hit a few birthday parties....
We also had a visit from mom and her friend mary Jean flynn... Mary Jean was instrumental in bringing us new names for people and kids... (luu luu and doodles) we had fun as we ran around burlington and the champlain valley searching for antiques for henry (also known as antique model cars)The other big news was andrew's tractor... unfortunately his 3 year old sears model didn't past muster (its engine conked out) so .. it was off to get a john deere cuz as they say nothing runs like a deere.. the new model is a big upgrade and I am now mowing in style ...
