Summer vacation!

I just returned from a week-long trip to CT with the girls. We had a great time and visited with Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt Cara and her family, and Papa Joe and Grammy. It was a whirwind, but worth it to see the girls spend time with their family. Our first stop was Grandma's house -- here is Mary Clare reading to Erin at bedtime in their super fun play room. One day we visited my old elementary school - the playground was pretty much the same, and it was so fun to see the girls playing on the same blacktop that I remember playing "four square" on. It does not seem possible that it has been so long since I was their age. Aren't I really only about 16?? It sure feels like it alot of days . . .

Here they are putting on a play for Grandma and I one afternoon.
