BBQ at Troy and CJ's

We went to visit Troy and CJ's new place in Canada on Sunday. It was well worth the trip up North! They have a beautiful, unique home that suits them: beautiful and unique!
Babs and Finn met for the first time. Finn was a little unsure but warmed up to her as time progressed. Troy made the BEST BBQ ribs in his smoker/grill. They were delicious! I think we even managed to get some in Finn's hair. We played, caught up, and are looking forward to the wedding in October.

Twins Game


Nana and Poppa came up to watch the Twins Game for a really belated birthday celebration. But the rain stayed away and the Twins WON! Mom and Dad took the light rail in and when they returned to our apartment, we had lemon bars and ice cream to cool Mom down. She said the stadium is awesome, but they should think about including air conditioning for next year.

Finn and I went over to Maria's house to celebrate her belated birthday. She had just returned from visiting her family in Guatemala. We shared stories and Finn was so happy to see her again! He missed Maria and she missed him too!!

Hanging out with the Neighbors

Finn, Nana, and I went over to the Benzkofer Reunion that happened this past week. We were finally able to meet all the Benzkofer grandkids - except Audrey because she napped the entire time we were there. It was great to catch up and hear about their travels. Sara and Finn even played catch with the SPAM beach ball!

Susie in Charleston


Susie came to visit us in Charleston before going back to DC for another school year. We had a lot of fun catching up, playing with the kids, and making new memories. She took a walking tour of the city and met with an old friend for pecan pie - YUM! We topped it off with a visit to the local Irish Pub where she had the UBER Irish meatloaf. So Fun!

Nannying in Charleston




Finn and I spent a week at the Reetz home in SC hanging out and taking care of Greta. It was so much fun to see how much she has grown and how much her Mommy's tummy is growing, too! 36 weeks and counting! We can't wait to meet little Baby X, K, or ? Thanks for a great time!
