Finn and Cooper

I posted all of these photos on Facebook, but I had to include a few here, because Cooper and Finn have a cute relationship... Kyra and I taught together in Charleston, SC- I was a newlywed, and she wasn't even married when we first met, and now we both have little ones only two days apart.  Originally from Michigan, she, and another great friend Katie Kirian, have both moved from SC to Michigan, so we got to hang out some while Ahren and I were here.  Last Monday was our last visit together before we move.  The first time Finn and Coop met they couldn't even lift their heads, and now they are having lunch together... 

Annaliese is getting married! Let's celebrate...

Two weeks ago we all gathered to enjoy a beautiful bridal shower in honor of Annaliese-  it had been too long since we'd all been together- can't wait to celebrate the wedding in August!

Friday night upon arrival, it was good to see Wolfie again...

...trying to steal a sip of her Papa's beer...  

... and helping Nana Mum order Chinese... 

..at Saturday's shower meeting cousin Ashley Rittershaus and loving Aunt Emily... 

Bride-to-be!

Ann Arbor Greek Fest

If there is authentic Greek food to be had, we are there... so when a few weeks ago the local Greek church hosted the annual festival, we packed up and headed over for some delicious music, food, and pastries.  Finn enjoyed. 

Bath time

Water baby all the way...

Outnumbered...

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we had two of Ahren's oldest friends come and visit us (and to see the Red Sox play Detroit)... fun times had by all, and Finn loved Chris!

Best kind of guests make you fancy breakfasts...

Virginia Travels, Part 3

Our trip east ended with Summer's graduation from UVA.  She is a rockstar, and I am so proud of her and all of her accomplishments, especially her swimming career.  Finn and I spent Saturday night at Luke's new house before the ceremonies on Sunday. Then it was back to Ann Arbor!

In the meantime, I found some photos that I had overlooked from the condo the day after Luke's wedding that were too cute not to post...

Virginia Travels... Part 2

We left Wintergreen and Luke's wedding bound for our new home, Raleigh, North Carolina!  With a short amount of time to find a home, it was a hectic trip, but we found a great place to spend at least the next year. 

Your new skyline, kiddo... 

managed to find a local brewery for lunch-

and a stop by the Guptills' so they could meet you!

Ahren flew back to Ann Arbor from Raleigh to work, and I headed to the river to visit with my grandparents.  Gee was unable to attend my brother's wedding, so Finn brought the party to him.  

It's OK he thought you were a "fella"... you all seemed to have some good conversations.  

Lisa, Mary and I crossed paths in Richmond for an afternoon...

...and a quick visit with Janie, too!  Never long enough...
