                  We were the first to arrive in Tahoe on Monday. Yesterday
                  Jaime & Lexi arrived with Jaime's new boyfriend, John. He
                  made us some pretty solid tacos tonight and brought some games
                  along to play. It's good to see Jaime fat and happy. Today
                  Alora arrived and the kids mashed four beds together to make
                  a giant kid bed to snuggle in together. Tomorrow Brittan and
                  my parents arrive and then we'll have a full house! Dell's
                  been coming over every night to see us, and it's so good to
                  spend time with her. It's amazing she has time to take out for
                  us with Kristen's wedding coming up Saturday. We also saw
                  Kristen yesterday for the first time since she gave us the
                  backstage tour of DC all those years ago when she was working
                  in the senate.
