July

July has been a whirlwind for the Ehrenberg family!  We had so much going on, it's easiest to share its happenings with you in one blog post with bullet points (who doesn't love bullet points?!)

• Went to 3 states (Massachusetts, North Carolina, Iowa)
• Spent 26+ hours driving in the car
• Spent 14 hours in airplanes and airports
• Saw 18+ family members
• Went to the beach
• Went to 2 rivers
• Got overwhelmed by 2 waves
• G tried 5 new foods (M&Ms, lemons, limes, orange moss dessert, chocolate eclair dessert)
• Countless hugs, kisses, and cuddles

We were in Massachusetts for my brother's wedding.  They threw such a fun party and it was a great time.  We're so excited as they begin their journey in marriage!

Afterward, we took a road trip down the East coast to my parents' in North Carolina.  G was such a trooper and did an awesome job in the car!

We spent a week and a half at my parents' relaxing and checking out all things North Carolina including my mom's workplaces, the Bodie lighthouse, the beach, Goose Creek National Park, and Bill's Hot Dogs (twice!)

Outside The Fish Hooks Cafe, where Oma works

First time at the beach!  It was fun as long as Mom or Oma was close by

Playing with water at Oma & Papa's house

G and I travelled solo on the way home and found easy entertainment by playing peek-a-boo with the tray tables.  

Once home, Nick and I made a quick turn-around trip to Des Moines for my dear friend Emily's wedding.  It was so fun to see them married and fun to have our own little weekend getaway while G spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa.

Our August is blessedly quiet without travel; something we're looking forward to!
