Visitors

We've had a fun summer with several play dates



Although mostly we stay at home to cater to Aspen's nap needs, but as it turns out, lots of people have been able to come see us, so we are staying pretty social.

First, Aunt Betsy and Uncle Butch came to see us, which was pretty wonderful, since we will miss them when we go back east in the fall.



We all watched a TLC episode of Buddy's Bakery Rescue, which featured Bing's Bakery, just down the street from Aunt Betsy and Uncle Butch's house. Sabine was mesmerized--guess what our first order of business shall be in Delaware.



Thank you for coming all this way!



The next visit was our good friend from college Melissa, and her daughter.




The girls had a good time getting to know each other while the grown-ups caught up, and we even had another college friend + daughter come up for one afternoon. The next generation of CC-ers?





Then another good college friend (and also high school friend, for daddy!) stopped by with her family, including their new baby K, who is about two months younger than Aspen, but almost as big!





Their daughter A, and Sabine got along really well, but were too busy playing to have their picture taken.

And last, but certainly not least, my good friend Deb from high school stopped by on her way up to the mountains from Boston! It was really neat to see her again, and we hope to meet her twins (!) before another five years go by.




Whew. All in all, lots of fun!



And for a quick update on the girls: Sabine is evolving into quite the fashionista. The more patterns the better, and ONLY dresses these days. Aspen has just moved up to Prevacid for her reflux, as it seems to be getting worse. She's still a wonderful sleeper, so we would like to do anything we can to keep her comfortable! She is still a sweet baby, very calm and happy, even when spitting up. She is sitting by herself now, although someone still needs to be close by if she accidentally leans too far. Fortunately, big sister is a good catcher. Aspen also "talks" a lot, and she and Sabine love to squeal at each other; it's fun to see, if a little loud!
