Visitors

We've had several visitors recently, and the girls have (mostly) loved the added company and built-in entertainment. (Aspen is going through a bit of separation anxiety, so she has been a little clingier than usual, but she still enjoys people-watching, even if it's more from the safety of mom's arms.)

We had unusually rainy weather for the week that mommy and daddy's college friend, Melissa, came to visit, with her family. Not that it stopped us from getting out--in fact the big girls both have new-ish umbrellas, so this was the perfect opportunity to test them out!



We went to our favorite local bakery, Moxie, and the girls had fun playing the piano...as well as eating Kouign Amann pastries.



We also left Aspen home with her favorite sitter one morning, over nap time, while we took the big girls in to Pearl St. in Boulder. We played and shopped...









...and then went to the Dushanbe Tea house for lunch. That was pretty special!



We have been having a great time with the cousins, as always, on the weekends, and enjoyed their last weekend in the house on Sandpiper Dr. with good food and lots of outdoors time.







Then cousin Lara came in to town, and both girls were THRILLED. (So were mom and dad, but we contained ourselves a little more.) Aspen is still talking about "wra-wra."





And Sabine could not have been more pleased to have someone sit down and do some coloring with her. A craft-y afternoon is the best afternoon, despite the pouring rain.
