Summer Over? What?

Ok, so I've been totally delinquent on posting, I know. We went on vacation, which is probably half the reason I haven't posted in so long. It's taken me twice as long to jump back into life upon returning! It was well worth it though. We road-tripped up to Indiana to see my parents which was great. Michelle tagged along, and Jim joined us after wrapping up work in Detroit that week. We had such a great time with the fam, and we even got to see Jim's sister's family for a day which was nice. Ava loves visiting with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The weather cooperated nicely as well. It was nice and cool the whole time! While I know this isn't normal for Indiana in August, it still made me really homesick. Jim and I talk all the time about living the easy life back in West Lafayette, but I'm sure it will be many years before we pull the trigger on that!

Audrey has her six month appointment next week. I can't wait to see her stats. She's growing rapidly. She's recently started rolling over and lifting her head up whenever she's strapped down. The girl has pretty much outgrown her infant carseat, so I'm curious to hear what her pediatrician says about that. She's eating two jars of food a day and 24-30 ounces of milk. She looks IDENTICAL to Ava, but her hair is a little darker. She might be a brunette. Only time will tell!

Jim and I are really excited that fall is around the corner. We're kicking it off in two weeks with our anniversary trip. This year we're hitting an all inclusive in Negril, Jamaica (stay away hurricanes!) After that we have a homecoming trip planned at Purdue as well as a Vaca family trip to Seven Springs. I think that will wrap up our 2009 travels, but you just never know. We're tempted to take the girls for a weekend in Chicago in November or December. We also hope to do Disney World again soon, but more than likely will wait until Spring Break for that. We'll see!

This is Princess Ava. Grandpa bought her a crown that she ended up wearing all week, along with Auntie's shoes that she loved!
