Visitors

After a few days off, we jumped right back into our busy schedule with lots of visitors this past weekend! After lunch with Susan, Sean, Tracy, and Shelby on Thursday, Allie and I rushed home to tidy up for Joe and Jenn to come over with the kids. Joe hadn't seen Allison since the hospital and was finally able to hold her for the first time. I had to laugh because he couldn't believe how tiny she was compared to big 'old Emily! They were kind enough to bring dinner out, then afterwards we played in the backyard with the kids.









On Friday, we entertained Matt's Wisconsin family. Grandma Justinger was so excited to meet Allie and was reluctant to pass her off to Barb's sisters Fran and Chris! However, the baby made the rounds and slept most of the time! (Funny, since she doesn't like to sleep when it's just the two of us at home!) It was great to spend some time getting to know Matt's family a little better since we don't get the opportunity to see them much.Saturday was also a very busy day beginning bright and early with Allison's first trip to the farmer's market in Tower Grove Park. This is a bit of a tradition for Julie and I and I was very excited to introduce Allison to the routine, not to mention to do something that I had done "pre-baby." Afterwards we broke tradition a bit and had lunch at Schlafly Bottleworks. Unfortunately I had to rush home, however, I was greeted by an excited group ready to go see the Star Trek movie. I had offered to stay behind and watch Allison and Shelby. The kiddos napped for most of the time, but we did get in a little play time. Without any other plans for the evening, people stuck around for a bit to hang out in the city.After such a busy few days, I was definitely looking forward to a lazy Sunday! (*again, I have some pics, but I'm lazy and don't want to go upstairs to get the camera... check back soon!)
