Pennsylvania and New Jersey

After taking her first plane trip (which went very smoothly, by the way), Evvie woke up in a brand new bed in Malvern, PA- home of Uncle Butch and Auntie Bobbi.

It was merely one week before Evvie's birthday so Grandpa and Grandma Smith drove down to celebrate!

Grandma brought the balloons...

...Grandpa brought his beard...

...and Rhonda brought her new hat!

There was pumpkin pie and merriment to be had by all. Evvie hauled in some great loot- a stack of new books, a stuffed froggie that eats bugs, and a musical caterpillar that she can ride on!

Evvie was also quite taken buy Gus- Butch & Bobbi's Labradoodle, and climbed up a whole set of stairs to get to him. Then she climbed up them again.

And again.

Jay's thinking abut building a set of stairs in our one-level ranch for her to play on!

Then it was off to the Jersey shore to see Steve and Lauren exchange vows.

It was a lovely ceremony by the ocean, then a lively party! The first dance was to Tom Waits' "Little Trip to Heaven (On the Wings of Your Love)" which tugged on Jay's emotions quite a bit.

After a whirlwind weekend, it was back to Maine and to the destruction that is our kitchen remodeling project. (Soon just a happy memory, right?...RIGHT?!)
