Look who came to town…

We’re still alive.  I’ve been ignoring the blog because it’s hard to see the picture of Pepper. 

Michael’s mom (Nanny) and her friend Doug came to visit us Columbus Day weekend.  It was an absolutely beautiful weekend and we were so glad that we could share it with them.  It’s always nice to have family and friends visit from out of the area because we get a chance to see things with new eyes.  It’s easy to become used to all the beauty fall brings here in Vermont.

Nanny and Doug arrived Saturday evening and the girls were excited to have Nanny read them a story.  I was surprised by how quickly Lucy took to Doug!  She felt right at home in his lap.

On Sunday, we visited an outdoor art show of featured local artists then headed towards the Vermont Country Store.  What were we thinking?  This weekend is always their busiest of the year due to tourists.  It was absolutely packed and we left pretty quickly.

On Monday, Eli had to go to school but the rest of us took a hike up some mountains nearby our home.  The paths themselves were beautiful enough!  The view at the top was almost too much.  Just gorgeous.

I’ll hopefully post again in a day or two.  I really need to catch up, especially with the holidays coming!  I have photos of a visit to Rochester which include pictures of my squishable, loveable, snuggable nephew and some great snapshots of our annual Halloween party.

  2. Well, shoot. I should look at maps more often! I had no idea we were that close to you. That would have been so great. Have you taken Waylon to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester? Lucy had a blast there! Miss you!

  3. Sorry about that. I was testing it to see of I could get it to work. Beautiful pictures. It is hard as Grandparents to be so far away. We just found out that Nick got the job he wanted, starting in July with Amazon.com, In Reno, Nevada. They are happy as it was their first choice. (Near Lake Tahoe to ski).
