Weekend Updates

We had a pretty busy weekend! Tim, Pat, and Kit Campbell drove up from Richmond to meet Ella and we all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with them. They got to see the condo and then we enjoyed a great lunch at the Reston Town Center. It was so great to see them! Later that afternoon, Tim went to Kayleigh's 1st birthday party while Erika went home to tend to Ella duty :) That evening, we had our good friends Greg and Andrea over for dinner....our first dinner guests in our condo! Ella behaved particularly well that evening so it was nice to enjoy the time with our old neighbors. There visit was an extra treat for Cooper since Arlie made an appearance. The two buds were together again!
On Sunday, the Carlson's arrived for a visit and saw Ella for the first time since she was born. For us, they were such a big help...Tim and Rick took a trip to Home Depot to buy some necessary items for the condo while Erika and Mary Ann got the condo organized by hanging pictures and sorting through the last of the boxes. And wow, what a difference. Finally we don't have junk piled against the walls and layered all over the floor. Phew. It's finally starting to feel like home! But it was a real treat for them to visit and they also got some extra Ella time as they babysit her while Erika went to class on Monday. We'll be seeing them again soon for Thanksgiving!
