We are in the middle of our annual ND/SD summer vacation. We started the trip in ND for Darren's all school reunion. I don't think New England has ever had that many people in town at one time! 
Nadia was able to meet Salem Sue on a pit stop. 
It was a jam packed weekend with street dances, parades, picnics and fireworks. It was fun spending time with everyone! 
Nadia's buddy, Logan turned 3 this week and we all got to go to the party. Nadia was thrilled to be able to hold baby Emry!
I worked late one night and Darren brought Nadia into the room in the morning to drag me out of bed...
We went to a colleague's house on Sunday to go swimming. It was HOT and the perfect day to be in a pool! 
Darren built Nadia a sandbox! His carpentry skills are paying off for all of us!
We FINALLY have nice weather and we are taking advantage of it as much as possible!! 
We met Logan and Krista on Sunday for a day at the beach. They kicked Krista's sister and her friend out of their chairs so they could relax...
Update on potty training...I think Darren and Nadia's face both say it all!!
We had no weddings this year over Memorial and were able to have the infamous party in St Franny. The weekend started with us having an addition to the family. Lisa and Megan were in AZ for a wedding and we kept Nora. The girls had a blast...they had some fights...then a blast...then some fighting...but mostly a blast! We loved having Nora with us!
Our party has changed quite a bit since the last time and we opted on a bouncy house instead of a keg. :) I think the adults had just as much fun jumping and going down the slide as the kids! 
Krista and Logan came up on Saturday night to play for a bit and Logan decided he really liked Nadia's skirt...why wouldn't he when Nadia and Nora had tutus on the entire weekend??
Dana and Jamie were able to make it and like always, Jamie stole Nadia's heart! Watch out Dana!! Nadia would barely let Jamie out of her sight!
We ended the weekend with a bang...4 new additions to the family and a trip to urgent care... 
Introducing...Belle, Rapunzel, Eugene and Beast (not in picture)...
After many months of hard training...Darren has qualified for Boston! He ran in the Fargo full marathon over the weekend with a time of 3:13 beating his PR by 45 minutes! It was so much fun to watch (probably more fun to watch than run) and we are so proud of him!
My parents and Darrell and Dorita were able to come for the whole weekend. Dawn and Monte made it on Saturday just in time to see Darren coming into the home stretch. 
I ran in the 10k with my friend, Krista. She was nice enough to slow down her pace A LOT to stay with me.
