The Littleton Whirlwind

Here's a belated post about our visit with Caitlin and John and Sam and baby #2. Sam and Lucy had both changed a lot in 2 months, and got along a lot better. Lucy actually enjoyed Sam's hugs and kisses instead of pushing him away, and they exhibited some healthy "parallel play", as shown in the picture below.

Playing with a book (it later made it onto Lucy's head).

Sam showing where Lucy's belly button is (which Lucy calls, "Beh-buh").

My parents treated the 4 of us to a fantastic dinner at a local gourmet restaurant. Every dish was amazing, and it was so nice to spend some relaxing time together. Here we are outside the restaurant.

And then savoring our after-dinner drinks and creme brulee (Cait left a few minutes early to put Sam to bed).

Another night we stayed up late playing Puerto Rico, one of our favorite board games.

There was a big family gathering at the beginning of the week- the rain let up so that the cousins could all enjoy playing outside.

Sammer.
Lucy lamb.

Sam about to strike.

Lucy trying out the "I'll offer you the ball and then take it away at the last minute" game.

I always love hanging out with my sister. We can't wait to meet the new little guy soon!
