Memorial Day in New Canaan

City living is pretty awesome, but getting out of the city is always tricky. Esp now that we have kids. We took the train out to CT this weekend to the Andrew's parent's home. 
Pretty amazing to open their home to so many kids and their kids for the weekend. 
I loved being in a home- everynight was a big sleepover
When we got back there were lots of comments about how much we missed each other. 
It was pretty special. 

SATURDAY: 

The girls headed to Westport to shop and explore- I LOVE the flags. Love America. 

Many hands make light work- Everyone was so helpful with EP this weekend- It was really nice to not be holding or watching her at all times. 
Maybe the childless couples got baby fever? Or maybe just a nice dose of birth control??
Wiffleball, soccer, waterballoons, grilling, basketball, golf, board games, pychiatrist and volleyball.... 

Erica is a grill master. 



SUNDAY: 
EP decided it was time to stand for the first time in front of the Checkett boys @ Waveny Park
- show off. 


The football game and girl talk haulted as they all joined with us to celebrate this milestone. 
It was so sweet of everyone to be so proud of her. 
Good friends. 
Will looks like a pioneer in this pic to me. 


Moments like this will continue to amaze me. 
First time in a high chair
Girls were in another room chatting while Will had EP- We heard yelling and cheering and ran in to find this- they were having a contest to see who she would go to. Notice the bribes of food and iphone. 
Hilarious to find a bunch of grown mean do such adorable boyish things. 

MONDAY: 

Can't get enough of these two. 





Check out their verticals. Nate and Will.

What a great weekend away- Thanks to Andrew and his family for hosting us!!!

Love that pic of EP loving on James. He looks so tiny there! My first big outing out with a newborn & you all made me feel so comfortable & capable. Fun memories.
