My parents both grew up in Buffalo and a lot of our family still lives there. Whenever I get a chance to go home to Pittsuburgh I always try to make a trip to Buffalo to visit the rest of the family. My grandmother (my dad's mom) is now in a nursing home because she has Alzheimers. Her physical health is still very good but she is unable to live on her own. It was very important to me that Avery and Paige visit her and have some knowledge of who she is. We were so thankful to have a great visit with her this day.

My family has had this green Girl Scout tent for as long as I can remember. We used to camp in it a lot until one fateful weekend of all of us kids stuck in a tent due to rain. After that, it only made appearances in our backyard each summer. Someone had a great idea to put the tent up and allow all of the kids to sleep in it for a couple nights. I was pretty skeptical that my girls would last all night but was pleasantly surprised to find that Avery didn't come into the house once. Paige chickened out the first night but made it through the second night in the tent. Thanks Nathan and Jonathan for supervising this camp out.
Of course it's not camping unless you make smores!
