a visit from friends

this past weekend emma had some wonderful visitors! elly flew in from iowa on thursday and stayed until this afternoon. she was such a great help- cooking meals, cleaning up, even doing some of the laundry by hand!! what a friend?!? she also got to spend time with our little sweet pea and of course we had a great time reminiscing about old times and laughing about, well lots of stuff! our friend emily came up from austin for a couple of days as well- good to have the iowa girls all together. steve and i were able to go on our first date since wee emma was born while emily and elly stayed home with her for a couple of hours. we missed our little sweet pea but had a great time out on the town!
