We had a fantastic visit with family and enjoyed perfect Michigan summer weather for a week. Kathie and I got to Somerset twice. We got some family skating in (and some hockey very early in the morning). We got down to all three sports arena's in Detroit, walked along the refurbished Detroit River waterfront and had lunch at GMs headquarters, the "Ren-Cen" as we like to call it in De-Troit!
My beautiful bookends!
The older kids stayed in Michigan to travel back with Kathie's parents who live on the other side of the state in Grand Rapids. That gave Audrey 4 days of Mommy and Daddy to herself back in VA...not exactly by herself since Dune and Mocha were sure glad to get out of the kennel and back to their couches and our bed at home.
What does one do at a 2yr old's birthday when one has run out of Sudoku....
I haven't been a good blogger, so I will follow this post up with one on the first day of school and the fall activity schedule. Until then, here is our gorgeous daughter and her equally beautiful mom, brother and sisters:

Hanging with and on to Grandma
Beneath the Tiger's paw
Hanging w/ Ava
Entrance to the best stadium on the planet
These two photo's illustrate Audrey's creative side as well as her father's uncanny failure to know where the hell she is and what the hell she is doing. Notice the blue marker on the trim and directly on the window as well as her tatooing of her own arm.
