O-H-I-O

At the end of August Evie and I flew up to Ohio for a few days and then Emily and Caroline flew back with us to spend a week in Williamsburg. It was such a wonderful trip. I was a little nervous to fly alone with Evie, but she was a dreamboat and I discovered that people are extremely nice to you if you're flying alone with a baby. :) Evelyn loved the 24/7 attention she got in Ohio. So much so that she had a hard time sleeping! She was up bright and early every day. The first morning I let her crawl around the room while I laid in bed. I looked over a few seconds later to this...
and then a few seconds later I heard grunts calling for help. She had crawled under the chair and couldn't figure out how to get back out! :)

It was a full three days of spending time with family, friends, basement cleaning and shopping. I'm envious of their LOFT outlet!! :) You can tell by these pictures that Evelyn loved the bigger place to explore and non-stop attention. :)

One night we had a bonfire which Evie loved. She helped Grandpa build it. :)
While I was there Katie moved out for her teaching job in PA. We were all sad when she left so we threw ourselves into basement cleaning and moving Emily and Caroline into their own rooms. Evelyn enjoyed all the excitement, and all the random things that our cleaning found. I think these are the remaining Mardi Gras beads from Katie's and my *extensive* collection.

After all the fun we headed back to VA for the week! Flying with aunts is much easier than alone. Evie thought it was great too - three people to crawl all over instead of just one! :p
