I had a GREAT week!
This last week my mom, dad and sister came for a visit! We did lots of fun things! Including celebrating E's first birthday!
Her gift from Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Katie... farm animals that sing!
E's new toy from mom and dad. She loves it! Plus it's a big hit with her sisters!
Yum cupcakes!
Family photo... we are all very tired here!
Blowing out the candle. please forgive my weird eyes here.
Ohh, and while my family was here E took her first steps! It was very exciting as she had 7 people cheering her on!
On Monday we hit the Museum of Science in Boston. It was AWESOME! There are 3 floors of tons of fun things to do for kids and adults. We picked a perfect day because it rained cats and dogs from the moment we left until Tuesday night. No lie 24 hours of pouring rain! It also caused one of the worst floods in decades here in MA. A flood so bad, that even President Obama came by to see the damage.
There is a small butterfly garden at the Museum of Science. This was our first stop, it was great, we all loved it! We even watched a monarch butterfly come out of her cocoon.
P riding a bike with "bones"
Tuesday our low key day. We went to the museum that is right next to where we live. We actually live in a National Park (an urban one). This is a Mill. Our Building was once a Cotton mill, so it was really neat to see what it was like 190 years ago. It's amazing what the 'mill girls' had to do each day. Did you know that Lowell was once the largest manufacturer of cotton in the US?

I don't know if you can really tell in this photo, but I've put on a bit of weight... and for good reason.... baby #4 is due in late summer. Earlier that morning we found out that we are having a.... BOY!
On Wednesday and Thursday we hit the city. We had so much fun that I only got this one picture. This is H at the USS Constitution Museum in Charlestown.

We also... took a trolley tour of the city, stopped by Fenway Park, walked around the Commons, did the Freedom Trail, visited Quincy Market (where we ate some delish New England fare, including Dukin Donuts), and did some shopping and more walking! They say Boston is a walking city and we sure walked!
I am so glad my family came to see what our life is like on the East. If we weren't going to be heading west soon, it would have been much harder to say goodbye~
(T-3 weeks until classes are over and T-6 weeks until graduation! yippie!)
