Long Live Summer

Coming home from China was the best thing ever. You may think being away from family for nearly 5 months is not that big of a deal, but let me tell you (!) it is a BIG deal to us/me!!!!!!!! 

Summer was awesome! Filled with family, beach trips, Rochelle's wedding, Californ-i-a, friend get togethers, and a whole lot of relaxing and just hanging out. Wish we could relive it right about now!

At our "Welcome Home" party with our families. This is the first time we got to meet our CUTE little niece Avery!! We love her!!! Jimmy and Meghan make one adorable baby!!!

Bennett - LOVE

Milly - LOVE

Newport Beach with the Grimes - Rochelle's wedding week! Sooooo fun!!

Family pictures on the beach the morning of the wedding

Thankfully they waited for us to get home from China so we could be there!! 

Such a great day!

Sisters - love these girls

After our week in Newport with the Grimes, we headed south to Solana Beach to spend a week with the LeSueur family.

Joey has waaaaay too much fun digging holes at the beach.

Jordan & Guilian's sealing day

Julie, Guilian and I

Crossing our fingers that Julie has her baby girl umm... like TODAY! She's a week overdue. Guilian had a beautiful little girl about a month ago. So happy for both of you and wish we could be there to see your new little families!

Reunited! Girls night before Brooke had her baby. Awesome to catch up. I miss the olden days. Brooke had baby girl #2, Jacie, a week later. So happy for her and Jay!

After a whole lot of changing our minds and going back and forth between U of A and Nebraska, we ended up deciding that Nebraska was the place for us. More on that next!
