Mom and Derek visit June 2011

My mom and brother Derek visited in June this year. Derek has never been to NH so it was awesome to be able to show him our home, have him meet some of my friends and Kerrys family, and just hang out. We had planned to go to a play at the Palace theater, but funny enough it turned out to be a ballet….an AMATEUR ballet. hahaha, well, all was not lost, they hadnt seen Hairspray yet, so we watched that after (a much better show than the former!). Mom and I did a lot of work on various wedding crafts and finalized all the invitations.

We did a bit of the freedom trail for Dereks benefit who had not been to boston since he was young. We made it pretty far, and ended up at the state house and then all the way to the water. We went into the museum to see where the Declaration of Independence was read from and checked out Faneiul Hall .

Lunch at my favorite place on Newbury street, Stephanies. Its becoming a bit of a tradition for us to go there when my family is in town. It was a nice day out, after many days of rain so we even got to sit outside.

Lastly those two, plus Linda, Tyler and Lauren were all present for the babys ultrasound where we found out we are having a girl. I am so happy we all got to share that together. Then of course my mom, brother and I immediately went home and put together the crib, changing table and dresser. And then went to Babys R Us to actually make them functional. Now its time for baby to COME!!!
