Katie, Jon, and Chase visit

We were very happy to have a visit from Katie, Jon, and Chase over 4th of July weekend. Chase is the happiest, snuggliest baby ever and it was pure joy to get to see him again. Pip may not seem it here, but he was in a good mood. He's just camera shy these days. Has to pretend he's too busy for the snap!

While we forgot the camera, we also had a great 4th of July BBQ with Tasha, Aislinn, and Rob on Saturday, complete with Dairy Queen blizzards for dessert. YUM! Vivian fell asleep in Aislinn's doll bassinette while Pip played through (mostly) happily until we left at 9ish. On the drive home fireworks were going off all around us. Pip was so amazed we pulled over to try and watch them. When we got home the big Boston spectacular was on the TV and Pip stayed up with Daddy to watch for a little. Apparently Little Einsteins is actually educational because he recognized the 1812 Overature (he calls it "The Queen Song" because it's on the episode with the Queen and the unicorn) and was asking where the unicorn and queen fireworks were when the Pops played it!
