Our first July visitors kept us very busy. We were so happy to have Abuela, Jenn & Bodhi come to stay for a few days. We packed tons of toddler activities into their visit...trips to the pool, the aquarium, the museum...and constant play time. The cousins played great together and with minimum meltdowns, even naps went smooth. On the adult side, it was nice to hang out with the girls. It was nice to see my best bud from college (yes, also Joe's sister) do her parenting thing. I can definitely take some cues from her. I hope I can remember to not worry about the little things so much, something that Joe's family is much better at. So, here are some photos of the boys & girls...

Ah ha...this post isn't over yet. Last week, more best buds came to visit. Our dear friends Amy & Tom came all the way from Guam! Okay, not just to visit us, the Coast Guard was sending them to some conference, but still! Joe had to work and was only able to visit for a day before he flew to California. But here are some of the fun things we did...
Tom, Robin & I went to Virginia Beach. Robin wouldn't leave the towel :(. We coaxed him off with his sandals on to kick a ball, but he still wasn't having it.
Later that day, Joe was able to accompany us the the YMCA pool. Tom was able to convince me to go down the grown-up slide twice.
We also went to the Botanical Gardens, which is a great place for adults and kids, but it was SOOO hot.
And then, yes, we had MORE visitors. My Mom and my Uncle Aaron came for a week. Again, it was great to have other people around. I even got to leave the house a few times by myself!
Here are some highlights...
Grammy & grandson
bead making and wearing was popular
bathing in the sink...a luxury only Grammy provides
Thank you to all our visitors this month. We had so much fun and look forward to more visits in the future. We love you.
