Gabi and I took off to Wisconsin for almost entire month of August, and I've been having a hard time catching up since we got back. So, now I'm sitting down and forcing myself to get caught up on this... among other things.
A quick recap of our trip.
We arrived at the end of July, just in time to surprise my Mom for her birthday. My siblings and I planned a surprise party for her and the best part was she didn't know that Gabi and I were going to be there! The look on her face when she came in the door (and finally realized what was going on) was priceless!!
Here's a picture of Grandma and her girls!
Later that week, we headed to "In-Law Town" to meet Chris (he was TDY in Kentucky the first part of the week), visit with his family, and see his Dad get re-married. It was a really nice ceremony (especially the singing) and a wonderful reception. Gabi had so much fun - she danced all night until she finally crashed in her Daddy's arms. Chris and I had a lot of fun too, and we are so happy to welcome Linda to the family!
Here's a pic of Grandpa and his bride!

Chris had to go back to work a few days after the wedding, but Gabs and I stayed a couple more weeks. We got to spend time with Grandma at the beach and the park. Here's a pic of Grandma and Gabi enjoying one of the slides at the park. We also went boating and spent time on the lake with Grandpa. Then, we headed back to my parents' home to spend more time with my family.
This is a picture of Gabi helping my dad feed his fish. This is when Gabi learned the sign-language for "fish" and whenever we talk about Grandpa, she either signs "dog" (both her Grandpas have dogs) or "fish". Go figure.
P.S. Sorry this took so long to post. I actually wrote this WEEKS ago, but I couldn't get the stupid pictures to load, and I didn't have time to sit down and figure out what the problem was. Tonight, I finally gave up trying to fix it and gave IE the heave-ho. . . Problem fixed. Gotta love Microsoft!!
