Robert and I love having guests at our home and we have been blessed with a few these past few weeks! Last week, Kelly & Dillon graced our home for a few days before they took off their big winder holiday adventure. Sauntina kept looking up…up…up at these tall guys. This was a new experience for her!
This past weekend, we enjoyed Scot, Amy, and their adorable little son, Will. Scot & Amy and Robert & I were married on the same day last year and they had their son two days after we had Sauntina! What a relaxing way to enjoy an evening…watching two 7-month-olds learn how to grasp toys, stare at the other baby in the room, watch them try to crawl, roll over, and talk happily as they chew on their toys. I’m so glad they came down from Saskatchewan to Chicago to visit their brother, Marty!

Another family we have enjoyed visiting off and on this year is the McDowell family. Nathaniel, Darra, and their daughter Rebekah have been so much fun as we’ve enjoyed games, good conversation, and walks outside (when weather permitted!). Darra and Nathaniel are happily expecting Baby #2 and I can’t wait to meet the little one in February/March!


The babies are just precious! They are so cute and everything is such an adventure as they discover new things!
