Visitors, Visitors

This past weekend started a stream of visitors.  Because Ellie wasn't due until the end of July (July 31, to be exact), most people planned trips to meet her towards the end of August to give us some time to get into a routine.  Since she was early, we ended up with a little more time between guests than we thought we would have.

Aunt Ginny the Great came on Saturday.  She had to be in Savannah for work on Sunday afternoon, so it was a quick trip for her to meet her great-niece.  My cousin, Zach, recently moved to the area, so we met him for brunch on Sunday before Aunt Ginny had to hit the road.

On Monday afternoon Ellie and I went to the airport to pick up Aunt Katie and Uncle Chad.  They planned their summer vacation around a visit to meet Ellie.  Katie was great at getting Ellie to calm down when she was super fussy; She had much great success than either Jeff of myself!  We had a great visit with them.  We even went to two restaurants that have been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (Singleton's Seafood Shack and the Metro Diner).

Grandma and Papa arrived yesterday, so I'll post about their visit next week.  Then, next weekend Aunt Genevieve arrives for a long weekend.  Ellie is super excited about meeting all of her family members!
