Cousin camp aka Milla and Poppy camp was a great hit for Zaven. He loved being with Blaise and Berk and getting to see all the Chattanooga Burbanks. He also loved getting to be with Grammy, Ella and Soencer. There was a touch of home sickness but mostly fun!
Milla and Poppy were so nice to meet us in Roanoke to pick Zaven up. We had a fun time staying over at a hotel and swimming, getting dinner and playing in a playground. While Zaven was a away Nell had her first sleepover at Kate's house! She had a great time and boy was she worn out when she got back. The O'Neill house was still standing so I think it was a success. We had lots of pool time too. Then Friday Milla and Poppy brought Zaven home and we had a great weekend of visiting with them. The kids participated in the VPSU Champs meet. Zaven qualified in three events, the free relay, the IM and 50meter Butterfly. He did really well and was pleased with his performance. It was a neat meet and it was cool to be a part of it. Nell qualified in backstroke and ended up with a 6th place overall finish. Knocking 3 seconds of her time! It was such an exciting thing. She got a medal Dan to stand on a "podium". A great finish to a fun summer swim league. We love our Kingspoint swim team and pool! 
I have been really enjoying my summer tennis league though sadly I suffered my first defeat after a marathon three set match. It was disappointing. I think I will meet the girl in the finals of the season and I hope to have a different outcome! The match was 6-7, 6-4, 6-7. So we are pretty evenly matched.
Now Nell is off to Chattanooga with M & P and is looking forward to time with Grammy, Ella, Spencer, Brice Christie and Bea!
Chris is getting lots of good rides in and loving being able to use the trainer for days that he can't go outside. Work is keeping him busy and I know he is looking forward to our upcoming vacation.
Esme continues to love the pool. She gets her suit on first thing and is ready anytime the pool comes up! She loves the water. She is talking a lot more now. Learning more people's names. Saying lots if funny things. And asserting herself more. She is a very sweet baby with just enough of a funny/ naughty streak that we know she is ours!
Wrapped is going well. Things are clicking along. The Orientation Vendor Fair at William and Mary is keeping a fire under us to get things done especially with me planning to be away! But we feel very positive about the fronts we are moving forward on.
