The parents visit

My parents came to visit for the weekend, and even though Lu and I both came down with colds (murphy's law for family get-togethers), we still had a great time.

Dad and Lu got along swimmingly (Lucy forgot she was terrified of his laugh):

If dad's hair looks a little....windswept, it's because it was! On Saturday we went to Florence for the day and it was very, very windy down by the seashore. But I'll take it. I love being just a little over an hour from the coast.

And it's such a neat little town! We wandered down on the docks and looked at the little boats:

Lucy learned about anchors:

We toured the shops (and I got some amazing fudge):

Lucy got loads of Papa time:

For which she was very grateful:

Joel and Lucy at Mo's (yummy clam chowder):

And of course Lucy soaked up lots of Nana time too:

Mom and dad spent most of the day on Friday helping me hang pictures and decorate around our new place. It was SO wonderful to have my mom give her fabulous decorating advice. Pictures of our little duplex coming shortly!
