We have been having a very busy summer so far! We started off the summer by spending two weeks in June visiting with family. We spent a couple days in Pennsylvania, where Laura got to meet her great-great-grandmother. Then we traveled to Jefferson, NY and spent a little over a week with Jon's family. Before coming home, we spent a few days in Williamsburg, VA with some of my family to celebrate my grandmother's (Mimi's) 80th birthday.
In this photo are Eric Hughes, myself, Melissa Young, Adam Hughes and Elizabeth Brown. (Mimi is seated in the bottom left corner.) This was the first time all of us cousins had been together since Jon and my wedding. We had a great time hanging out together, especially on the day we all got to go to Busch Gardens together.
A couple weeks after that trip, we went to Swansboro, NC to spend a weekend with my Unlce Phil and Aunt Beverly while Jon played in a raquetball tournament in New Bern, NC.
Jon has had two deployments with the International Ice Patrol out of St. John's Newfoundland, in addition to his regular work duties.
Laura has been growing like crazy, of course. She is 8 months old now and can roll over both ways, sit up on her own, and is learning how to feed herself little snacks. Her two front bottom teeth are coming in, so her adorable tooth-less smile will soon look a little different. Her favorite thing to say is "da-da" and although she doesn't know what it means yet, her face lights up whenever her daddy walks in the room. This week I am helping out with our church's Vacation Bible School. I am in charge of the crafts, and it's been a fun, crazy, busy time. This weekend we are heading back to New York for another visit since Jon's sister and her family will be visiting from Canada. We are looking forward to seeing them again and meeting our niece, Abby, for the first time.
