We are family

Pierce had the chance to meet lots of friends and family this week. On Monday, Shara (and her dog Max) stopped by to visit with us. She was a natural at making Pierce settle and coo. She'll be making him laugh in no time! Later in the week, Megan Bourque had us over for a playdate with Erin and our other friend Shanna Deng and her son Spenser. Pierce was exhausted from the socializing and ate and slept during the visit. Erin did manage to show us her cool new toys, and make Pierce long for the day he can play in an Exersaucer!

Shara with P-man and Max:

Nana arrived on Friday to help out while Halsey traveled to Chicago for a wedding (congrats Frank and Erin!), and she was immediately wrapped around little Pierce's finger. And vice versa. Nana talked, sang, and bounced Pierce all weekend long and allowed mom to take some naps, cook some meals, and relax a little bit. Pierce really started chatting and smiling once Nana got to him!


On Saturday, Uncle Chris and Aunt Liz stopped by with cousin Foster for a meet and greet. Foster was born at the end of May--it's hard to believe that he was under 5 lbs at birth. We had a great time on their short visit, and can't wait to see them again in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the boys will be interested in each other someday soon.
On Sunday we picked Halsey up at the airport and headed to Mahoney's to pick out our pumpkins and get some mums for our front doorstep. It was a great end to a great weekend!
