We have been blessed with a bounty of visitors for the past several weeks. Grandma and Grandpa Phipps were the first to arrive and were closely followed by Oma Junke. They were an incredible help and allowed us to learn how to look like parents even though we didn't know what we were doing. Carrie and I haven't eaten that well in a looooooooooong time. Uncle Erik came next and Erik showed off his photography skills. Next Uncle Ryan, Aunt Candice, and Cousin Caleb showed us what the next eight months of our lives will look like (as well as the power of children's music:). Jess and Nic followed shortly after for a romp through historical Boston and Concord. All in all we were so grateful for the company and help...it definitely feels a little quiet in our house now! Enjoy these pictures and we will post some more soon!

Aunt Jess gets 'the look'.

A riddle: There are two sisters, two aunts, two cousins, a nephew, a niece, a daughter, and a son in a picture. What is the fewest number of people that could be in the picture?

Aunt Jess!

Uncle Ryan, Aunt Candice, and Cousin Caleb all came to balmy Massachusetts (it was minus 32 at their house!).
