Guest House

We have been blessed over the past week to have a variety of different guests stay with us!  Kim & Brooke were here with us first, as they attended a softball tournament nearby.  Hadley was basically Auntie Kim's shadow, and loved every minute of it.  Unfortunately, I seem to have missed capturing a photo of it.  Next time!

Grandma & Grandpa followed, later that weekend, with a quick but fun stop on their way Milwaukee.  The girls were thrilled to have them here for a couple of very rainy hours perfect for snuggling up with a good book.

Our guest list concluded with my cousin Katie (who is pregnant with baby girl #2!) and her nearly two year old daughter, Audrey.  They were here for a vist back in October, and all three little girls have grown up a lot since then. It was really special to be together again.

Hadley could not have been more enamored with Audrey, and I think the feeling was mutual by the looks of the following picture!

We packed in the library, pool, swingset & children's museum while they were here.  The only mishap was a little spill that Piper took into the coffee table which resulted in a lot of really pretty but bloody blond curls (I promise not to post a picture of that!).

There have definitely been times over the past nine years, that we've in some way or another regretted living in WI hours from family.  But its weeks like this one, when we are inundated with love, that we feel secure in our decision to live in our own spot, in our own city.  Thanks for all the love, guys!
