Yeah, we know, it's been awhile! Life was pretty boring after meeting our friend Justin Timberlake, as you all can imagine. Actually, we're not huge fans, but still...in Columbus, Ohio??? Who would've thought?

So life's been very normal until this summer...

We've had a great summer so far! First, Tommy's parents visited in May for Mother's Day. Among other things, we took them to Cirque Du Soleil... AMAZING! The pictures are from Mother's Day brunch outside the Hilton Hotel. (Was hoping we'd run into Paris Hilton, but I think she was behind bars at the time! And I don't mean behind "a bar" like she usually is! I believe was locked up, put away, like a caged animal!!! hahahaha!) Anyway, it's always fun to have Tommy's parents here!



In early June, Natalie & Ian and Lindsay & Keith dropped in for a FUN-FILLED adventure! I think we're calling it "CP07"??? Is that right, Brittni? An entire Thursday was spent at Cedar Point amusement park (thus, CP07). Cedar Point is ranked as one of the best roller coaster parks in the country. Go check out their website - you can go on the rides online! Anyway, it was SOOOOO much fun! (Whit and Stella were in Lansing, MI merely a week later visiting Nat & Ian. So sorry we couldn't have timed it better. Lansing is only 4 hours away!)

Nat & Ian - it's always a pleasure to have you here...NEVER a dull moment. Lindz & Keith - we know it's a long way to Ohio and we're so happy you were able to come see us all...I know Nat & Ian feel the same! Thank you so much for your visit, it means more than you'll ever know!!! We should definitely do it more often!

AFTER...

CP07 was followed by a quick trip (could've been longer) to Las Vegas for Tommy's 36th Bday!

The weather was beautiful and we had tons of fun. We're not big gamblers so we spent most of the time in the hot desert sun... LOVED IT!








And then Lindsay and Keith adopted a baby!

What???

Lindsay, this is where we were (at the pool) when you told me about Hannah! Tommy and I, and everyone around us, were so excited...waiting for me to get off the phone to hear what the heck was going on!

Our beautiful new niece, Hannah Julieann

(with 3 year old Stella...I LOVE THIS PICTURE!)

Then a few weeks ago, our friend Erica visited for yet another fun-filled weekend. She and Tommy have been friends since childhood. They grew up down the street from each other in upsate New York and have been friends for almost 30 years! She's the greatest!

Columbus has a festival every summer called CommFest (Community Festival). People bring their blankets, coolers, families, pets and just hang out at the park all day...listening to bands and eating REALLY bad greezy food!

YUM, YUM. Too much fun!
