Visitors!

These posts are a bit out of order, but hopefully the wealth of pictures will make up for it.  Dan's parents made a spring break trek to Boston to visit US for a week!  We loved having them here, and wish the week hadn't gone by so quickly.  We made a point to sample a variety of local ethnic food during the week, and spent a lot of quality time together hanging out and playing with Annie.  She pulled out all the stops and started crawling while they were here, thanks in no small part to Grandpap Bob's block towers, which Annie couldn't resist knocking down.  I (Katie) was blessed to have some time out of the house, knowing that Annie was in such loving hands.  She enjoyed being rocked to sleep by Grandma and pushed around in her stroller by her Grandpa, while I enjoyed a massage and a few workouts at the Y.  Annie also had fun going shopping for some spring clothes with Grandma and Grandpa...hard to believe she could be any cuter than she already is, but man do they make some fun little girl clothes!  We had a backwards April Fool's dinner, and Dan took some time off work on Thursday so we could visit the nearby Museum of Industry and appreciate the significant role that the city of Waltham played in American industrial revolution... We are so thankful for their visits, and the way that they make us feel so well loved!   

Grandma and Grandpa arrive!
