Visitors Galore!

Last weekend we had a full house! Lyla had lots of visitors come meet her. On Saturday my best college friends Shannon and Diana, along with Diana's 9-month-old son Payton, made the long drive from Virginia to come visit us! It was so nice to see them--it had been two years since I had seen them and it was the first time I had met Payton. We had tons of fun! On Sunday my two best high school friends Kathleen and Rachael, and Rachael's 12-month-old daughter Sophie came from Buffalo to visit for the day so it was a full house! (Poor Mike--he was smart and just stayed out of our way!) It was great to have everyone together. Everyone loved meeting Lyla and I think the babies enjoyed playing together :) On Monday Diana, Shannon and I drove to Grove City outlet mall with the babies and did some shopping. I wasn't supposed to buy anything but somehow Lyla came home with a bunch of new outfits for the winter and next summer--not sure how she managed to get my wallet without me noticing :) The kiddos were great in the car. It was Lyla's first major all-day outing so the diaper bag was full to the brim! Tuesday we went to Presque Isle State Park and took a nice walk along the bay. The weather was great. Payton managed to lose his hat three times during our walk, plus a sandal, but thankfully there are lots of really nice bicyclists at the park and each time someone found it and brought it back to us! It was a really nice visit--next time Mike, Lyla and I will have to make the drive down to Virginia. Here's some great photos from this week's visit:
