Recap: We flew from Germany to Baltimore, stayed in Elizabethtown, PA, and then went to Binghamton, NY. From there we drove to Pittsburgh to stay at Uncle Jim and Aunt Becki's house for five days. It was awesome. It was like home away from home, and it was so much fun to hang out with them.
Though she tried, Madeline couldn't resist Aunt Becki's charm.
Both of the kids had a blast with Emily. She really had a way with them. Ben still asks us when he can play games with Emily again.
Ben loved the backyard pool. Mike moved far from the pool steps, and Ben kicked his way out to him.
Every once in a while, for no apparent reason, Ben would get out, run to this fountain, and stick his finger in the water. Then right back in the pool he went.
Maddy's designated blanket for the kitchen floor.
Saturday morning brownies :) Ben had sooo much fun making and eating these.
Aunt Becki treated Ben and Maddy to their own pillow pets. Maddy was tickled by her purple ladybug.
Ben "helping" Uncle Jim fix the deck.
Ben's special makeshift bed in his own room. He was pretty excited about it.
We got showered with love, attention, clean laundry, free internet, and Dairy Queen while we were there. It was hard to leave. But we'll be back to bug them again before too long - it's a mere 4.5-hour drive from Dayton.

I am so glad Jim, Becki, and Emily could show you such a good time. I feel bad that we didn't have our house for you to stay at, but glad you found comfort there. Love you, Mom
