Very Special Visitors

We were treated to two great weekends of family visiting us from Texas. Our first visitors were Grandma and Papa James. Unfortunately the weather was cold and wet, but we still had a good time showing them around our new town. They were awesome grandparents and babysat L for several hours so D and I could get away to the city for a while. They took L to the children's museum, and went shopping. That evening we went out on the town to Eskimo Joe's for dinner and desert at Orange Leaf. It was a really fun weekend! Thanks for coming to see us! We miss you already!

The following weekend we had the Scasta family come visit. Mark, Courtney and Bella arrived on Thursday night. It was a real treat to have them all to ourselves & watch the girls play. L was just so excited to have Bella come to her house, play with her toys, and take a bath with her. If you can think through our transitions... it's been a very long time since we've been in a place where Bella could come play at L's house. About 14 months to be exact.

And this would be a picture, capturing L's love for Bella. That's what we call a Redneck Hug er, headlock. Shoot! Call it what you want, them there girls love each other!!!

Becky and Ronny came up on Friday evening. We were glad to have room for everyone (barely) at our house all at the same time. It was cold then too, but at least it wasn't raining! We enjoyed some Thai food while they were here, celebrated a new baby (who's having a baby?), and the girls got to go out for a chick flick. It was a blast! Thanks for coming to see us. It was a sweet time, and a great memory!!
