The closing of our nomadic summer

We had a great summer! We also had a very busy, nomadic summer. We spent the bulk in Seattle, but for the last 4 weeks we were all over. For those last 4 weeks, Chris worked in Chicago while Grant and I spent time in Utah, New Mexico, Utah again (for Chris' brother's wedding), and then a few days in Chicago. We had a blast visiting family and friends, but are happy to be settle d in Champaign again. We did a lot of fun things, so here are a few random pics from our trips.

Grant and my nephew, Connor, playing in the freezing cold hose water. They loved it!

I promise this is just mud.

Connor shivering but happy. FYI- Connor is Kristen and Evan's little boy.

Grant showing Connor how to properly put the hose water up his nose.



This is Amanda, (my sis- in-law) with her daughters', Aly and Rowan inside a giant pumpkin.

This is the Mt. Timpanogos, Ut Temple- a great view off my Grandma's porch.
