We stayed with Uncle Jon, Aunt Jen, and the cousins which allowed the boys lots of play time together. The first night Nana and Grandad were super-grandparents and babysat all the boys while the younger couples went out (my other half was working, so I was the odd one without my better half). I had a great night though getting to enjoy some adult interaction, catching up with Alex, and learning more about Camille. Night 2 we celebrated Grandad's birthday a little early since we were all together. Alex and Camille kicked the night off by slaving in the kitchen most of the day to make a special Italian dinner for everyone - carbonara and crepes. It was SO good. Then the cousins all put their hand prints on a glass jar for Grandad's dark-chocolate kisses he likes to eat, and Jen made an amazing 4-layer chocolate cake for dessert. Quite frankly it was a little disappointing to have to head home the next day after all the good food and company, but Uncle Alex was headed back to California with Camille, and we missed Daddy. Until next time!
If August was the lazy month, September is going to be the complete opposite. We have trips planned up to our ears, so get ready for some fun! The boys and I kicked September off with a quick trip to Pittsburgh to see my brother, Uncle Alex, for the first time in almost a year. He's been overseas working and traveling and had yet to meet Ezra. Alex was also bringing his girlfriend, Camille, home to meet everyone too so we were excited to be able to make the trip!
