Visitors from Down East

Alas, there are no pictures to document our weekend. Not one. Seeing as I never remember to bring the camera, I blame Nate!

At any rate, we did indeed have a fantastic weekend. Parke and Sarah drove all the way from Maine with their two pups, Scout and Jenny. Ries was ecstatic. Two friends to play with! Parke and Sarah arrived just in time for hors d'oeuvres Friday night. The four of us were joined by our good friends Chris and Anita and their new baby, plus Chris's parents for some steaks! Nate did all the cooking, and it was a fantastic dinner.

Cutest thing? Seeing Ries with the baby. She was absolutely in love with him. This bodes well for her future little sister!

Saturday, Sarah and I did a little shopping. The boys watched a little football. Then we all went to the O's game that evening. The O's, sadly, did not fare well against the Red Sox. But I guess that meant our guests were pleased with the outcome. We did get to see quite a few homeruns, and thankfully it was not a boring game!

Sunday, Parke and Sarah (and the pups) had to head back up to Maine. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Paper Moon Diner, and then it was time to say goodbye. Nate and I are so happy that Parke and Sarah were able (and willing!) to drive all the way from Maine to see us. We have the best family!
