Norah Closeup
We went to a summer BBQ for some friends who had come back to visit Iowa City. Norah is hanging out during the festivities.

Thelma Visits
Vince, Maria, and Stuart and Thelma Kingma stopped by in Iowa City for a few hours on their way to Alaska in an RV. You can see more pictures of their trip here: http://bubbah.blogspot.com/
Eric and Krista Stop By to Visit
Eric and Krista Palmquist were on their way to family camp (where Chiara used to work). They stopped by to see the most popular member of the Family Band.
Smoking the Pipe
The Pacifier keeps Norah happy for most of the trip. We still haven't settled on a name for the device. We like "choo choo", "pipe", and "thingy" (that's Chiara's name for it--since she can't remember the name of anything after losing so many brain cells during pregnancies 1 and 2).
Norah's First Cross-Country Trip
During the week of the Fourth of July, Norah, Chiara and I all packed up and headed out to Michigan. This was as far as Norah had ever been.
Peter Comes to Visit on His Trip Out West
Peter and his friend Zach stop by on their way out west (by the time I've posted this, they have probably arrived in Reno).
