Lots of Visitors!

The past two weekends have been filled with visitors - last weekend my dad was here and this weekend my friend Jessica was here.  We had a blast both weekends and I wish the time on the weekends didn't fly by so quickly!   

While my dad was here he helped move Buggy's new swing set into the backyard and some other small things around the house.  It was so nice having him here for the extra help - I wish he was closer!!  We were lucky to be able to buy the swing set from neighbors who were moving and not taking it with them.  It is a few years old but Bug loves it and it will grow with her as she gets older and more adventurous - although she's pretty adventurous now so I'm a little scared to see what she'll get into as she gets older!  Eeek!

This past weekend my wonderful friend Jessica and her family were here for a few days while on vacation.  I used to work with Jess at the police department but unfortunately (for me) she moved back home to Texas in 2008.  The last time I saw her was in January 2009 when we met them in Las Vegas for vacation.  That trip was so much fun and between now and then there has been 1 wedding (the Morrill's) and 3 babies born (Buggy Kiefer & Bryson & Harper Morrill).  I was so excited to finally meet her kids and was totally content to sit and watch them play with the Bug.  They hit it off right away and had so much fun.  Bug was very into little Harper (she's 8 months old) and I was able to get a nice baby fix in.  I'm telling you I could sit and rock a sweet little baby like Harper for hours at a time!

 {Bug absolutely loved Harper - as you can tell from all these pics - she called her 'her' & 'baby' a lot, and repeatedly asked to hold her!}
