End of Kara's carefree summer

It is sad that our super-fun summer is somewhat ending.  Kara headed back to work full-time and the girls now cling to her even more when she's around.  The Fitz fam got together to meet young Connor and Nina had fun playing with Emma.  Great-Grandpa Don had his hands full.

The girls have started playing together a bit more and Vivian can now say Nina's name.  She looks for her in the morning and always wants to knock on her door to wake her up.  They laugh together a lot, fight a lot, and Vivian has been winning some of the latest battles.  Nina was reading Vivian a book in the car recently and Vivian danced and sang along to "Old MacDonald."

Grabbing some gelato... yum!

We've still been getting out and enjoying this beautiful weather with more trips to Como, the pool, parks, the zoo, and we even spent some time at Irish Fair.  The girls loved the dancing, music, and Irish dogs, and they even did a bit of dancing in the kids' tent.  Next week brings the Japanese lantern festival, so we'll have to find a German event so the girls can get their trifecta. ;)
