If you want family to come visit then have a baby. Both brothers came to visit us this past month. Greg and my sister-in-law wanted to come the weekend after Matt and his family were here, but I told them back to back visits were too much. They gladly came a few weeks later. Greg, who's all about the "country club scene" really liked Asheville, our house, and our property. He didn't get to experience Sam's favorite activity, the "drum circle" like I had hoped, but he got the idea. I think the good drummers were at the LEAF festival, leaving the "want-to-be's" to lead the circle and keep the beat, resulting in a not so great musical improvisation.

Greg gave up his weekend naps to see some of the Asheville sites on foot. We kept quite busy walking, going to the park, eating at 12 Bones, and attending Stingy Jack's Pumpkin Patch Festival. Greg and my sister-in-law, Mary, witnessed Samantha go on her first hay ride. They watched Seth so I could go along for the ride. I played "horrible hostess" again, though. Poor Mary had to cook chili b/c I, a) am the worst cook and had never cooked chili, b) had nothing planned or prepared for dinner Saturday night.... As of last week I am no longer a virgin chili-maker. I made my first batch of chili and didn't even use a spice packet.... Sorry Joseph if the chili wasn't spicy enough for you. At least we were able to eat it :)
