I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of the whole gang back home. This past week Ellen and her mom braved a trip to Connecticut with both kids, leaving me home to watch the dogs and count off the days until this place isn’t so quiet again.

Though they were in a phone and internet vortex where signals couldn’t penetrate (those places still exist, even on the east coast!) I was able to secure these few photos documenting their adventures. It looks like the kids were successful in tiring out the rest of the family. Job well done, guys.
