First Visitors

We've been in our house just over a month now. Time really has flown by. We still have boxes to unpack and rooms to finalize and decorate. The bathroom is still in progress and I have mentally put life on hold until it is finished. Mostly because many of the boxes needing to be unpacked have to do with the bathroom or Trevor and Brennan's bedrooms. The bathroom "work room" is Brennan's new room and Trevor is in our walk-in closet/sleeping deck.

Even with all of the work and unpacking going on, we had some friends from D.C. (Virgina) come and visit last week end (our 3rd week here). Maren, Joseph and their beautiful daughter Adelaide came to spend the weekend with us and to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant.

They arrived late Friday night and we hung out Saturday at Lake Ontario before the pageant.

We took a stroll to the end of the pier. It was a hot enjoyable day - not humid.

Brennan loved to run up the pier and see the water. Of course he has to jump off everything he passes by.

Logan was a sport to wear Trevor. I was a bit worried about his skin with the hot sun but Logan didn't seem to worry. I'm the worrier I guess.

Playing at the park for a while before heading back to our house to swim in the pool.
Brennan didn't want to get off the swing. He could swing all day if someone were there to push him. I thought he looked pretty cute just sitting there. He was pretty patient for me to snap a picture before I went to push him.

Trevor loves being outside. He's always so fascinated with the leaves blowing in the trees. He is the sweetest boy and is so easy going. We sure love him. He loves to watch Brennan play and observe the world around him.

After the park and the swim in the pool, Maren and I headed back to the park to enjoy some frozen custard and some time with out kids to talk. Abbots Frozen Custard is to die for!!

We got back to my place in time to help Logan finish a batch of cookies and make a fruit salad for a neighborhood party. Our amazingly kind neighbors hosted a street party that evening. Maren and Joseph were kind enough to tag along. The party was a great opportunity for us to meet some of our neighbors.

Joesph went to the party for a bit and then left to get seats for pageant. Maren and I put the kids down for bed while Logan went to pick up a babysitter for the evening. Having a babysitter was a perfect end to a fun filled day. We drove up, watched the pageant (and even wore light jackets with blankets around us), and drove back home in separate cars.

Logan and I missed the exit on the way home and had to drive 15 more minues on I90 to exit. Then we were on the west side of the city and had to drive 19 more miles to to our house! Dumb mistake we will never repeat. Next time we'll pay more attention and not be busy doing our own things (I was adding contacts to my new phone and Logan was busy thinking about the bathroom project).

We really loved having visitors and hope they come back again in the next 4 years we're here - of course after we go visit them ;) Anyone is welcome!!
