Special Visitors

We had an awesome week (despite being woken up by several thunderstorms that Hadley was not too fond of - anyone else?) with a couple of very special visitors.  First, we were lucky enough to have my mom come stay with us for a few days.  The girls reveled in all of her attention, loaded up on snuggles, read tons of books, and just enjoyed being silly with her.  Hadley was thrilled to have Grandma attend one of her swimming lessons, and was sure to give her the patented thumbs up a few times as well.  Thanks for making the trip, Grandma, we love you!

The second visitor was my dear friend Laura and her darling little family!  She and I go way back.  All the way back to a nerdy little music stand in the 7th grade flute section.  Laura and I stayed close through high school, and ended up rooming together in our freshman dorm at UMD.  We even chose the same major, and have now both enjoyed the pleasures and challenges of being a speech therapist.  And somehow after all of that, we even managed to have kids right around the same time.  Pictured below with Laura are her geniunely sweet little boys Cayden (3) and Connor (almost 2).  Thanks for making the trip, Laura, we just loved seeing your boys!
