Something very exciting happened this past week....we had our first visitor!! Hooray! David's sister Julie (or JuJu if you are Maia) flew in on Thursday and is staying with us for a little while. We have already had so much fun with her here. It didn't take Maia long at all to become very attached to her. She is constantly calling out "JuJu" and following her around. She doesn't like it very much when she leaves the room--she wants her undivided attention all the time. It is really cute and I love it because there is someone else that Maia wants attention from!!
Since we have a visitor, we had to go and visit the famous Buffalo and surrounding area sites....so far we have gone to Niagara Falls and Palmyra. David is in school all day tomorrow, so we are planning a big trip to the mall, another must when you have company right? Here are some pictures from our latest adventures....
I still get amazed every time I see Niagara Falls...it is something that you just have to see in person at least once in your life! I want to take a ride on one of these boats you see in the pictures below--they get so close to the falls.
Just the girls!
Another good look...this is of Horseshoe Falls.
The whole group.
The flowers are in full bloom and so beautiful. This is taken on the Canadian side where they have such gorgeous flower gardens.
Maia's photo shoot with Aunt JuJu. She sat perfectly still and posed for such a long time...
...gave her lots of kisses....
...and totally cheesed it at the end!
She sat still for some pictures with Dad too...but when I wanted to hold her for a picture, she wouldn't really have it! What is up with that??
This is from our Palmyra trip....at the Hill Cumorah visitor's center. Maia loves seeing Jesus everywhere.
At the top of the Hill Cumorah
And finally, in the Sacred Grove. This place is so peaceful and beautiful, I could go daily and never get sick of it. The weather had been kind of rainy and cold earlier, but for the little while that we were in the Sacred Grove, it warmed up and the sun came out, so it made it just that much more enjoyable!
Here is Maia being at her happiest self...running free!

Crescent, those are some really cute pictures. You also have some great places to visit. I'm so jealous. There's so much things to see on the east coast and they are fairly close by. Makes me want to take a trip up there. Maia is so cute, I love the picture where she is just cheesing it up. She is too cute.
visitors are always so much fun! you will definitely have to go on the maid of the mist boats (is that what they still call them?) maia will love it when she is older! (maybe 4th year in school?)
hope you are well! and hope to see you sometime soon.
I would love to come and visit! I'm so jealous you get to live there! I have actually been to there and been on the maid of mist, but I definately need to get back. Maia is adorable- and you look beautiful as ever! have a good week!
I love it when people come to visit! It is so fun having family/friends from 'home' here! I love showing them around and all the fun things there are to do.
So cute! It looks like you guys had so much fun. Maybe sometime in the next 3 years we will beable to make that trip because I would love to see Niagra Falls and The Sacred Grove again and maybe if we were lucky we could get a free room for a couple of nights:)
