We have visitors! Yesterday my dad, grandma, and aunt drove up from Iowa just for the day, and although it was short, we had a great time. Now our former neighbors are visiting and staying in our place for a couple days. It has been so much fun having all the kids together again. Don't they look like they are having fun? As you can tell by the pictures, Rowan just adores them.
These four are best buds. Ellie (4), A (5 1/2), N (2 1/2), Rowan (2). I've been asked before if all of them are mine, and it could almost happen, if Rowan was prematurely born. There are only 8 months between N and Rowan.
Ellie took this picture. She is becoming quite the photographer!
Tonight we had a neighborhood BBQ, and all of the families we know and love were able to come. We had a blast! I organized the BBQ to get all the neighbors together, since we have two new families to our building, and our former neighbors were visiting as well. But I have to admit, I've been searching for a reason to make these, my main contribution to the BBQ:
Burgers and fries. Every BBQ has burgers, right? But these burgers are made out of cupcakes, brownies, and frosting. And those delicious-looking fries? Those are actually sugar cookies. The idea was stolen from http://www.bakerella.blogspot.com/, who also provided me with recipe for the cake pops I made for Ellie's birthday. Isn't this the cutest idea? And even better, they are soo good!

Those burgers and fries looked so real! Great job! How fun it must be to have neighbors, and ones you get along with! And the pictures are just adorable. Glad you're having a good visit.
Love you

That sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you guys have good neighbors! The burgers and fries turned out so good. That's cool that you had a big group to make them for!
I think I'd eat your burgers and fries over real ones. Those look so good, and they're so cute! Have fun with all your visitors!
