In addition to Camp, we've had a lot going on since we've gotten to Baltimore:
I officiated at my second wedding! It's sort of becoming a thing for me. Anyone want me to marry them? Congrats to my dear, long-time friend Stephanie and her husband Frankie.
Our time at the wedding was cut a bit short though since Nora was home with my parents screaming her head off with a fever. Poor baby. But Jason and I appreciated those few child-less hours since they were the first we've had together since Nora was born.
We also attended Ethan's 4th birthday party. Emily and Jarred had his party at an indoor pool near their house. Liam was beyond excited to attend, swim, help blow out candles, help open presents, and eat cake. His level of enthusiasm was seriously off the charts. Nora was less enthusiastic because she still wasn't feeling great. But I kept her well medicated and her relatives kept her well entertained.
And then today Angela, Sydney, Emily, Owen, Nora, and I crashed Liam and Ethan's week with Nana and Grandpa and together we all went to the Aquarium in Baltimore. Liam has been really into the show Octonauts lately. And maybe you remember from my description of our trip to the Outer Banks, that this has resulted in quite a love for marine life. So, Liam was also off the charts enthusiastic (this is turning out to be a very exciting week for the little guy) about everything the aquarium had to offer - down to the tiniest, most boring fish. He stayed at each and every tank, observing and commenting excitedly, until we coaxed him on to the next. And when we were all done and ready to go he asked to see his favorites, the sharks and the jelly fish, again. Even Nora enjoyed herself since today was her first fever free day since Saturday.
And we went swimming at Woodbridge Valley Pool this week. I could write a book about how weird and touching and familiar and nostalgic it is to swim with Liam there. But I won't.
