9 states in 14 months

We just got back home from a whirlwind trip: we joined Mom, Dad, Adam, and the rest of the family in Detroit, MI for Laura & Rick's wedding (and G's 9th state) followed by a week in Indiana spending time with family (Jan, Jim, Josh, and Jonah flew out to join us) and friends (Phil, Amanda, Jack, and Hugh drove up for the weekend). There are too many stories to tell, so I will just give you a recap in photos.

All decked out at Laura & Rick's wedding reception

Uncle Adam spent some quality time with Gabe, here walking up and down stairs at the reception

Dad & Mom actually got to dance!

We took Gabe to the Johnson County Fair (here, petting a goat)

My Aunt Jan gave Gabe his first haircut (a family tradition)

Gabe meeting my Uncle Jim

Joshua turned 13 on this trip and came out of the basement "man cave" long enough to play some Mario Party with us

Jonah brought a lot of his toys and passed them down to Gabe; they had a fun time playing together

We took Gabe to the Children's Museum with the Taylors (here, playing at the water table)

Jack playing in the sand table

Hugh crawling in the play gym

Now that we're back home, we're preparing for a wave of out-of-town visitors. It's crazy at our house, but in a very good way. We're going to go through a bit of family withdrawl when this all comes to a close!

Happy July birthdays to: Dan, Kim, Mia (who just turned one!), Steve F, Jack (big 3!), Josh (13!), Nick, Amy, Brian K, and Erin L
