We traveled to Ohio last weekend to say goodbye to Grandma Lombardi and to celebrate her life. The weekend was inspired by and filled with the love that she showed everyone she met in her life. We love you Grandma!
The trip to Ohio also gave a chance for all the cousins to get together. There was plenty of running and jumping, screaming and laughing, crawling and gurgling. The kids had fun and the parents were worn out.
Other than that, we've been staying busy, working on some home improvements, and enjoying Deacon and Vera. Deacon is in the midst of some serious potty training. Vera has become quite proficient at her army crawling and her first two teeth have come in (bottom front)! Each day they have something new and wonderful to show us.

What month is it?
What's going on, everybody!? Yes, it has been awhile since we last checked in, but fortunately we've been documenting as we went. Vera's hitting the early stages of mobility and being cute. Deacon is growing up and being cute. Jill is running and running and running. Matt is finally getting to the blog, and Grandma Weezie came to visit! Thank you for helping all of us have a wonderful weekend, Grandma Weezie!
I'm glad to know that you've been waiting (some even did it patiently!), and I promise these will be worth it.
One more for the road (in case you missed it on my twitter account - follow me @mattheimburg):

Vera Time
At five months, our little girl is getting big! :(
Teeth are coming in (front, top and bottom), with one on the bottom already breaking through. We've started with the "solids" - bananas! And she's becoming a real mover and shaker.
Here's a little video of her in action (the quality is just so-so, so I'll have to see what I can do about that), and there will be more to come!
UPDATE! See Vera eat! (Turn your head 90 degrees to the left to view.)

The Big Trip
UPDATE: Here's a link to Uncle John's slide show!
We have returned from the summer portion of our biannual trip to visit both of our families, and I happy to say that it was a smashing success!
Everyone that could come came to Vera-xplosion in NY. Shout-outs to Unkie Josh, Aunt Tracey and Uncle John, The Northrups for making to the "xplosion". Thank you to everyone who was there or even just there in spirit! While at Amma and Boppa's house, Deacon enjoyed the pool, a trip the National Toy Hall of Fame, and lots-o-love from his Grandparents. Thanks to Mom and Dad H.(Amma and Boppa) for throwing a heck of a party and for being such wonderful hosts during our stay. We wish we were there!
In Ohio, Deacon and Vera enjoyed some quality time with all of their cousins and in Aunt Di's pool. Weezie and Papa we're gracious hosts as their home was over-run with all the little ones. (Just wait till the holidays!) As you'll see, it was also the start of the Hall of Fame week in Canton (where the football hall of fame is located if you didn't know). Hot air balloons are a big part of the opening weekend (couldn't tell you why), and I don't think a day went by that we didn't see one in the sky. One flew right over the house - it was quite low too! Needless to say, Deacon loved it all.
Now that our parents' houses are quiet and we're back in ours, I think we all wish that we lived a little closer (actually, I know this as fact since it was frequently the subject of conversation). While that's certainly something to think about in the future, we're happy to be in our home again. It will be too long before we get to see you all again, but we'll be counting the days until then.
In the meantime, let's enjoy some pictures! BTW, if you have any pictures from our trip (Uncle John, I'm looking in your direction) feel free to email them to us (or send us the link in picasa, flickr, etc.) and we'll get them up here.

When the Cousins Come to Town
Summertime is travel time. This past weekend The Huff family stopped in for a visit on their way to Myrtle Beach. We had a nice visit with Lori and Trent, while the kids took the place over.
Up next: Vera-plosion (or Vera-explosion). We will *N O T* be exploding our sweet child. We WILL be enjoying a gathering of family and friends up at Amma and Papa H.'s house this Saturday (7/24; 24, 7. Aww yeah!). We're expecting great things (weather be damned), and a festive, food-filled, welcoming party for our little girl like only Amma H can throw. If you're in the neighborhood you are invited and should make plans to attend.
This slide show is short and sweet, just like our visit with the Huffs. Luckily we'll be seeing them again at Weezie and Papa's place on our way back. Until then:
