Cooper & Natalie 2009

Cooper and Natalie had a great time together last week. My mom, sister Karen, and niece Natalie came to visit and we all had fun! The adults were worn out, but the kids kept going! Sunday Karen and I had a girl's trip to Boston to shop, had a great dinner at Douzu, and an even better run the next morning along the Charles River prepping for the 1/2 marathon we're doing together in November. After that short lived and refreshing break we were back home to hang with the kids the rest of the week. Cooper made his first Build A Bear (a monkey that we all kept calling a bear to his very vocal correction that he DID NOT make a bear). Natalie chose a bunny. We also hit the Science Museum and did a quick Boston tour, and hung out in our town and went to the beach. Cooper and Natalie had the best time playing together going to the playground and at the house. All in all lots of fun, and Cooper has asked to go to Grandma and Papa D's this week so he can play with Natalie again.
