Family Visits

You guessed it—the troops from New Orleans (Brian, Chantal and baby Marcus) came to town. It was really fun to see how much little mister Marcus has grown—he is just adorable! It was a really low-key visit, since the amazingly awesome Syracuse weather in February tends to limit activities, so we got cozy inside and just hung out. However, Mimi did mange to put together a party for family and friends to meet Marcus. I think Sophia was a little jealous not to be the center of attention (lol).

As timing would have it, Sage's Aunt Becky was also visiting from out of town the same week. Luckily, Sophia and I manged to squeeze in a quick visit with both Becky and Ginny. I didn't get any pics this day, I was traveling alone with Sophia and forgot the camera. Anyway, Becky and Sophia hit it off and we all had a blast. Sophia can really be a charmer when she's in the mood, so glad she was this day!

This weekend Deb, Tim, and Dylan came for an overnight visit. We meet them out at Nonna's house. Deb and I got to show off our growing bellies and chat about baby names, for those who don't know we due the same month. After chatting for a while we went out for a really nice dinner at Bistro One in Auburn. We really enjoyed dinner as Dylan showed us how to hide from the paparazzi using his ultra cool sun glasses. Sophia also joined in entertaining us by giving us a dance show in her high chair.

Sophia wasn't so sure at first about holding her little cousin Marcus.

Then she realized that he had really cool hair and was totally into exploring it.

At the end she even tried to give Marcus a thank you kiss.

Here is Dylan showing us his moves. We weren't able to capture any of Sophia's dancing moves.
