Memorial Day Weekend

My friend Jess, one of the girls I studied abroad with, came for the long weekend.

We met Stephanie in Boston on Friday for shopping and lunch.
Jess was a little nervous about holding Madeleine so she just watched at first.
Then she gave it a go... She feels more comfortable holding chocolate! Traded in the chocolate spoon for the baby
Madeleine likes to flash people when she wears a dress.
This is something we will need to work on as she gets older!
On Sunday afternoon we had a BBQ. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. Paul did a great job of cooking burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the grill.

So Sunny! Katharine showing off her baseball skills
Jess chillin on our stump with a margarita.
Madeleine still LOVES her bouncy seat.
She was sitting in it this morning and we had to go somewhere so I picked her up and she started screaming. It was not a sad or hungry cry it was a you made me really really mad cry. She definitely knows what she wants.
Byron was psyched that he got the wiffle ball! Lee and Benjamin
Sleeping on Aunt Sarah.
Madeleine had not napped all day so when she fell asleep on Sarah we told her she could not move until Madeleine woke up. Luckily for Sarah she did not sleep for too long.
Benji and Lauren came down after a long day of moving.
Benji is going to be in Boston doing an internship this summer so
hopefully we will get to see a lot more of them.
Katharine looks a little worn out.
It must have been all the baseball!

Hanging out with Megan.

Sarah and her favorite neices

Funny Faces!
By the end of the weekend Jess was a baby pro!
