The last week and a half of Cliff's summer break was awesome because it was packed with family. Cliff's family came for a short visit because of a funeral. We didn't think we would see them until Christmas so we were so happy they were able to come visit and play with Paul. He loved having them and all the attention he got. He had fun getting tons of attention from Grandma Chandler, playing ball with Grandpa, and having great Grandma Peine read him some books (or one book over and over).
The day after they headed home, we got on a plane to Reno. Cliff and I took the opportunity to leave Paul with my parents for one night and take a little early anniversary trip up to Lake Tahoe, where we spent our honeymoon four years ago. It was hard to leave Paul but pretty great to just spend some time together without all the chaos.
We also had a chance to visit the Reno Temple, where we were sealed, and participate in proxy sealings. It was special to be back there and remember our special day.
Then Janet came to Reno and we all took a trip up to Sand Harbor together. Paul still doesn't love beach water but it did start to grow on him in the end and he did love playing in the sand and eating watermelon.

We had a great time at my parents. Paul loved that he could play outside all day since we rarely let him out in the heat at home and he loved playing with all the relatives.

| It's hard to believe from this photo that Paul spent the first day having a major meltdown anytime Tod looked at him. |
We love our family. It was so good to see everyone. We are still getting used to Daddy being back at work and having to entertain ourselves all day.
