Lately

It's been a while since the last blog post, but with very good reason. This morning, we wrapped up 10 days of family in town. John's parents were here from last Tuesday through Sunday, and my parents arrived last Friday. My mom left this past Wednesday and my dad left this morning. It was busy, but very enjoyable...although we are definitely enjoying a low-key weekend after all the activity!

Some highlights of the visit: celebrating Owen's birthday with both sets of grandparents, a trip to the zoo, a picnic lunch in Maymont Park, eating out at local restaurants to show off our beloved city, a morning outing to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, and lots of time out on the deck soaking in the Virginia spring!

The birthday boy sure enjoyed his cake!

Opening presents was fun too

Both sides of the family gathered together for the first time since our wedding!

They're not so sure about posing at the botanical gardens

Just hanging out in a tree--there's so much more fun stuff to see when you're this high!
