Bare Pig Roast!

After our visit with Traci, we joined the Bare family for a Pig Roast and party at their home in Cleveland, OH. It was a beautiful day; the picture perfect all American picnic setting. Jeremy and Bill Bare were amazing hosts along with their beautiful girls, Libby and Sydney. The kids were spoiled with activities, including a bouncy fort, zip line, and playhouse. Matt Johnson and Bill Bare were the chefs in charge and did a beautiful job roasting the pig. It was so wonderful visiting with my other college girlfriends, Emily and Lesley, and their kids, Everett and Audrey - who were born the same year as Andrew!!!! I feel so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life! Here's a slide show of the party and activities. Enjoy!

Aunt Traci's Gingerbread House

Our travels this summer took us to Cleveland, OH to visit family and friends. Jay stayed back with PatsyMom, PapaDoc, and Aunt Mary in WV and Scott, Andrew, and I made our way to Aunt Traci's in Lakewood, OH. Her house is simply ADORABLE!!! She and Mike live in a great historic neighborhood with sidewalks everywhere! She even lives a few doors down from a live train track - fortunately trains don't pass by too often, but we were lucky and saw one go by during our stay! Here are a few pics...
Choo Choo!!!

Brothers

Yesterday I had the boys' portrait done - it is quite a task getting 2 little ones to cooperate! We also got a couple of Andrew to mark his 8 month birthday this July 4!
