We started our trip with a weekend in Chicago for my dearest friend's wedding. Sadly, I don't have any pictures of the bride and groom because I forgot my camera at the reception.
Here we are just before the ceremony. Rainey stayed with some cute babysitters so we could stay the whole time.
Here I am with another bridesmaid, sweet Ada, just after the cermony.
Next, we flew to SLC to be with my family before my younger brother's wedding.
Eating some toes with aunt Elise, who took such good care of her
The cousins were so sweet and attentive with Rainey.
Here we are at Ben's wedding. Once again, I don't have a picture of the bride and groom on their special day, but I have one of them when we were with them in SoCal.
And lastly, we flew to SoCal to be with Kevin's family for a few weeks.
Grandma Raynie, Papa, and Baby Rainey. She mastered eating solids in that chair.
Pool time with cousins
The newlyweds over for dinner and belated birthday celebration for Alex.
Sitting up with Aunt Lyndsay. She also learned that trick on this trip.
Beach time.
We loved our time with everyone and thought it would be a perfect way to finish our vacation before Kevin's job and life in the east. But in a week's time, Kev interviewed and we then moved to Utah for his job. So yes, we live in Utah. We can't believe it, but we feel so fortunate to be here near family and for Kevin to have such an exciting opportunity with this new job.

YAY!! Thanks for getting on that request so quickly! Love all the pictures, even thought I'm truly heinous (sp?) in that one shot with Rainey. :)
So what is this job Kevin landed in Utah? I am so jealous you guys get to live there and be by family. It looks like you had a great summer. When does the job start?
2 things. 1) Thanks for the new post. I've been interested in finding out about how your trips went. 2) What?? New job in Utah? I demand--or rather, politely request--more details! That's awesome!
Leah Peah! You're in Utah with all the cool kids now...Yipee! We need to get Hannah and Rainey together for the cutest playdate ever! Congrats on the job.
You are in so much trouble! I've been excited all summer to have you in the DC area. Oh well, at least I make regular trips to the SLC to see Chris' family. I guess I'll just have to catch you there...
Congrats! I "stumbled" upon your blog and I'm glad I did. I'm happy to hear that you all found a job out west - sad, for the state of VA to lose you guys - but happy for you!
Good Luck! We miss you in C'ville!
Michele
So there I was, reading about your wonderful summer trips, enjoying all of the adorable pictures of your darling family, and I get to the end and what?!? Utah?!? Sounds like there is an incredible story behind Kevin's new job! I'd love to hear all about it. I was so counting on seeing you whenever I visit my parents in Northern VA, but hopefully I'll be able to see you whenever we might be in Utah. Please keep in touch!
