A visit from the fam

We are recovering from a wonderful 10 day visit by Kent, Christine, and Ian. They live in Virginia now, and we have been going through withdrawal since they moved. For those who don't know, we shared a duplex with them for 4 years, and Ian and Quinn are just 6 weeks apart. They are best buddies, and it was really fun to see them back together, especially now that they are speaking in sentences...there was no warm-up time at all, they just hit the ground running and never looked back. Some highlights of the trip include a trip to the state fair, a train ride, and a local "wildlife education center". We also spent a lot of time just hanging out at home and at the park. Geoff and Kent got to have some much needed brother time when they drove down to Nauvoo for our good friend Robert's wedding. (Congrats to Robert and Jamie!)

We're also continuing preparations for baby Georgia--Quinn and Ian got to take a tour of the hospital and to see where she will be born...at first they weren't too excited about it, until Christine and I told them "We're not bringing any babies home today, we're just looking." :)

Quinn now has a baby doll (named baby Georgia--creative, eh?) that she's been putting into the crib at night and carrying around the house. It's been good practice being gentle, except for when she decided her dolly wanted to learn how to fly. Oh well...
