We had our very first visitor in our new house last week.
Aunt Sophie came to visit for a few days and we had a fabulous time.
Even after arriving late at night, Sophie came to my early morning class at the Y. She's the first family member to ever attend-Ben hasn't even come, so she definitely won some points there :)
While she was here, we got Alison's school supply shopping done, went to the pool a couple of times, made some Sonic slushy runs and spent a relaxing afternoon getting pedicures.
Monday, while Ben was slaving away at work, we took the kids to a small beach at Fort Monroe.
It was perfect: short drive, little waves, lifegaurds, port-a-potties and only a few other people there.
As we were playing we saw 6 huge ships and a whole fleet of little ships sail by.
Eliot was convinced Ben was on every ship and would shout "HI DADDY" each time he saw one.
The last night Sophie was here we had our first dinner in the real dining room.
We used the real dining room in our last house as a playroom, but I absolutely LOVE having this room. I loved eating in there...it's clean and relaxing and I didn't have to stare at all the dishes I have to clean when we were done eating. If Colin wasn't so messy we would eat in there every meal.
We were not ready for her to leave, but are so thankful for some specialized Aunt time.
And our house has officially been 'guest broken-in'...
don't you want to come visit us too?
