As the girls returned from camp, we had the great sadness of saying goodbye to Happy. He was our dear boy, but got so sick over the course of the summer we had to let him go. His Facebook obituary: "Rest in peace Happy dog, our beloved and quirky boy. We will always remember your funny ways andhow much you made us all laugh, and most especially the patience and love you gave to Wendy, who adored you from the moment she met you ("yo quiero consentir a Feliz!"). We will miss you and love you forever."
It helped cheer us up that a few days later, Aunt Christine came to visit for a few days with Jack and Daphne:
Then we all headed to the Jersey Shore with Matt, Christine, Jack and Daphne and spent a week in Seaside Heights, together with neighbors Amy and Abby and Wendy's friend Gabby:
At the end of the month, we headed to the Philadelphia area to celebrate Uncle Brian at his surprise bowling/bbq birthday party. Happy 30th!
