Visitors!!

I am way behind on posting, like usual, so I am going to let the pictures do most of the explaining. I few weekends ago, Katy, Steve, Jill and Mercie came and stayed with us for a long weekend. We went to medical school with them and they are now doing residency in Cincinnati. We miss having them in Rochester so we were so glad that they came to visit. It was so much fun spending time with them and getting the chance to meet their new little one, Mercie, who is just a month younger than Halle, and seeing how much Jill has changed...she is absolutely adorable! We hope that they will come visit again as we loved having them. Thanks Katy and Steve for making the trip out here and for the yummy Graeters ice cream along with the other treats!!

One night we had some of our old med school classmates over for dinner - it was so fun to see those that could make it! Thanks Beth and Rayna for also making the trip out to see us.Katy with Mercie, Katie, Beth, Cassi, Jen, Deola, Me with HalleHalle loves to be outside!
Halle with Steve and Jill at the park - she really liked being with both of them!Halle loves watching older kids, especially cute ones like Jill!!Halle and Mercie - they were so cute together (yes, Halle's outfit doesn't match because she spit up on her pants and these were all I had in my diaper bag..)The kids - Mercie, Halle, Jill, Avery and Adam - when Katy and Steve left Rochester, only Jill and Adam were around!Cassi and Nick had an amazing fifth birthday party for Adam - Cassi should truly be a party planner!! She made everything that you see including the race car cake!Cassi made two cars out of cardboard so that the kids could do a relay race in which they had to fuel up their car and change the tires! It was pretty funny to see the kids run with the cars in the goggles and helmets.Brandon and Halle helped with the changing of the tiresJill looking absolutely adorable as always!The little ones wanted to try...they thought the cardboard cars were just as fun as the race!Adam thanking Halle for his gift - we can't believe that he is already 5 considering we were there right after he was born!

Our last night with Steve and Katy...we miss you guys already!

This was the best we could do to get a picture of all the kids...But someone managed to get this great picture of Jill and Avery...so cute!Eating dinner at Chesters - we were pretty brave to go there with 5 kids

That same weekend, we also got to celebrate Caleb and Rowen's first birthday's with a party at the park. It ended up being a great day and it was fun to be able to stop by and see the boys eat their cupcakes!
