Greer's Visit and E's Birthday Dinner

Of course it wasn't just Greer who visited, we certainly enjoyed seeing Maura and Mike, but CQ was most interested in his 10 month old cousin.

Dealing with nap schedules of two little ones made getting out on adventures a little more difficult, but we did manage to go on some nice neighborhood walks.  And had lots of play time indoors.  And as we told them, there will be more visits over the years and we need to save some outings for then. :o)

Greer spent time with pets for the first time: our cat Winnie and E's dog Briley.

My parents hosted a birthday dinner for E on Wednesday.  It was amazing - beef tenderloin and all kinds of other yummy food!

And I picked up a Dessert Designs cake for E - sour cream pound cake, just like at our wedding.

Yummy!

We had a great time visiting and reminisced about memorable birthday gifts over the years. (oh, book on manners...)

That's Mark's Dad Jeff and his lady friend Pat on the left below.

Unfortunately the next day Greer got a little bit sick.  She even got to meet Charlie's pediatrician. 

Mike made us some killer grilled cheese sandwiches when we got back from the doctor.

Here she is feeling slightly better the next morning. Actually I think the flash on the camera wasn't helping.

What a cute little family! (plus cutie Charlie!) We are so very glad they came for a visit.
