Home Home on the Range

Back in the 505 again :). We arrived late last night...thankfully...we were a bit concerned about getting stuck in Atlanta since the airport had been shut down while we were en route from Pittsburgh due to weather from a tropical storm. *sighs in huge relief* And, this time we were not the parents of the screaming toddler or puking child...ours were quite the little sleeping angels...thank you thank you thank you! We had a very nice time in both the Pitts and OH and took lots of pictures:














We went to the Carnegie Science Center two mornings b/c one was just not enough for D! Thankfully, we got in free due to the conference G was attending. D found a fun water/ball table deal here...you know D...where there is water...















A cool xylophone thing-a-ma-bob...it was neat b/c every "toy" had a science lesson behind it...yes, we are both science geeks at heart...didn't anyone tell you that this is what happens when two ChemEs decide to have kids?! What??















The Earthquake Cafe...nuff said.















Water table in the *small kids* section. *points to above explanation about D and water*




















Though there was not a lot for Miss P to actually do at the science center, she had herself a good time riding around in the *cadillac stroller*, as it was dubbed by some dude we walked past, and watching her big brother make mischief.















When we got to the Boyarkos, they were armed and ready with the toys! Here, Uncle C helps D practice his swing...swing batter batter batter swing!















Shhhhh, no laughing. What?? You think I can just stand around on the sidelines watching D have all the fun?!















And the infamous tractor came out to play...clearly D didn't have any fun at all w/it.















Miss P enjoying some Grandma time.















And some time in the awesome piano exersaucer at the Boyarkos! Awwww, a daughter after her own mommy's heart!















D and P cuteness...we needed an updated pic of these two cutie patooties together! Do I really need to give you an excuse though?! Seriously.















It just might be that a pool was inflated and D and P splish splashed around like little fishies. Well...D did the splishing and splashing and P gave him a big piece of her mind when the cold water hit her skin :).















We attended a Wright Family Reunion (Grandma's side of the family) and P enjoyed sitting with her Rosetta and Great Grandpa while her brother...















...caught frogs. Ewwwwwwww!















We had some friends over for a night of fun, food, and a bonfire and Miss P took a fancy to S. Hi S, *waves*, hope it is ok we posted your pic here :).















And then there was a huge family party including both sides of the family at Grandma and Grandpa's house so everyone could see D and meet P :)!















And we managed to get a pic of us all...Grandpa, Uncle C, G, me, D, P and Grandma :)!
