Uncle Mark the Great and Aunt Mary

A Family Visit!
At first things were a bit hectic getting used to having a new baby around the house, but we were lucky enough to have our wonderful Aunt Mary and Uncle Mark come and spend a week with us.  They cooked, cleaned, played, but even better they gave Larkin TONS of attention.  Really they gave all of us tons of attention!  We sure miss them.

Naptime for everyone

Check out my new shades!

All Work and Well a Little Play
Not only did Mark and Mary come out to help with the kiddos, somehow Mark also got suckered into moving 30 tons of rock into our backyard.  Shaun and Uncle Mark the Great (truly) spent most of the weekend moving wheelbarrows of rock into our backyard.  They did a great job and even left a space for the new swingset we are getting.  Pretty sure Uncle Mark is happy he didn't have to put that together as well!

Our new and mostly dust-free backyard
Don't worry they found plenty of time to play as well!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Mark and Mary also gave Larkin all that love and attention you would think she was missing.  She absolutely LOVES them.  She still walks around the house saying "Uncle Mark shower????", "Uncle Mark singing", and "Where's Mary????"  She picks up her phone and pretends to call them all the time.  Mark and Mary took Larkin around town and saw the sights.  One of the highlights was a pre-season baseball game.



What a perfect day at the ballpark!
Being Silly
Playing a little game of hide-n-seek! That Aunt Mary sure loved to play games with Larkin.



No visit from Mark and Mary would be complete if we didn't stop by Krispy Kreme at least once!

One more family pic before they headed back to Vermont.
