Pittsburgh

At the end of July, Ed flew the entire family out to surprise Laurie for her birthday.  Although we are all convinced that she knew and totally faked her big surprise, we had a blast!  A few highlights were SWIMMING (straw game!!), Pirates game, golf, celebrating birthdays (Laurie, Corey, and Marina), good food, and just hanging out together.  It was fun to get to know our new sister, Stefanie, better!  If anyone is wondering, she LOVES pickles.  We also got to spend a little extra time with Corey, Amy and Brielle.  They flew out of the Dulles airport, so they spent a night in our little apartment.  Boy did we (or our neighbors above us) show them a good time.  Nothing like being woken up at 4 am to a party gone bad!  Good times, good times :)
