Since July 26th we have had family in our home. First my family, then Todd's. Our days have been busy and full and with all the craziness, they flew by. When I woke to a quiet house this week, it felt strange. Crosbi spent most of the day looking around, expecting someone to pop out and play with her. She had no shortage of playmates these past couple of weeks!
Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures with my family. My dad is the proud owner of a new iPhone, so he and my Stepmom were the official photographers, but I got a few shots of our time together.
My parents came armed with new toys and books. Crosbi is definitely the center of attention these days.
It was great catching up with my sisters. We spent the evenings talking as we took long walks, burning enough calories to justify homemade cookie and ice cream sandwiches.
It's not a successful visit until we go to Mellow Mushroom. If my family is going to pick a must-visit restaurant, they picked a good one. Todd and I never turn down the House Special.
Shaye, my youngest sister had never had self-serve frozen yogurt (gasp!). I had to fix that immediately. Todd and I treated her to one of our favorites - Sweet Cece's.
Nine days later my parents returned home, just in time for Todd's family to arrive.

Crosbi has developed a love for books. I can't think of anything that could make her Grandma more proud.
We are so spoiled when they visit. They love our daughter so well and it doesn't hurt that both grandmas are amazing cooks!
A little dish Todd's mom put together. Yum!
Life is slowly returning back to normal. We're enjoying a wonderful break in the heat, spending lots of time outside, and trying to rest before things get busy again later in the month. More on that soon!
So much fun. Sounds like you are blessed with great family on both sides! And that pasta dish looks divine.
