Visitors!

We have had quite a few visitors since we moved so I'm going to try and catch up on posting some pics from the last couple months. It feels like we've had more visitors in the past 2 months than we had in our two years in Montgomery. :) I love it!

My friend Stephanie was in town the weekend after we moved in. She was finally able to meet Hayden and the girls were able to go out in Annapolis while the boys stayed home. :)














Eric's parents flew in for a visit at the end of June. They flew in to Atlanta and drove Eric's old college forerunner up for us since we left it behind with family. Eric just can't let it go so now its sits out on our curb waiting to be refurbished one day. I don't think I have ever been in the car seeing as it has no AC. Poor Mel and George drove it up on one of the hottest days of the year so we are very grateful to them for that. :) Eric had to work a lot while they were here but Hayden was able to have lots of time with Nana and Papu. We did some shopping and went out to dinner a couple of times. It was great to just spend time with them again. On their last day in town we took them to the Inner Harbor where we had a great meal on the water at Phillip's.














I love this photo of Hayden














Eric's parents flew out the Friday of July 4th weekend and my friends Meredith and Jessi flew in that night from Raleigh to visit for my birthday. Again Eric was working the majority of their trip but we were able to have lots of girl/Hayden time. We took Hayden shopping, out to dinner, and running at the park. We were all able to go back to the Inner Harbor on Sunday for dinner. It was a great visit and I was happy for Hayden to have lots of time with Aunt Mere and Aunt Jessi.

Hayden climbed these stairs at least 20 times



















My sister recently visited with my nephew and niece, Ryan and Sarah. She is a little less than 2 hours away so we will definitely see a lot more of them but this was her first trip to our new place. The kids had lots of fun playing together. We went to the mall for lunch at Dave & Buster's. Ryan and Uncle Eric had lots of fun playing games.
