Karen was also able to come. She had some great news for us recently that she is engaged. She will be married in August. I am so excited for her. Her fiancee is moving here from Boston. I will get to meet him at her engagement party in June.
Elle got to meet her best friend today. Elle and Annabeth will definitely have to get along because we are so close with Diane and Andy.
Jen came with her boyfriend Troy. This was the first time Mark got to meet him and he found that they have things in common. Troy is the only other person that Mark knows who reads Star Wars books. It was so good to see Jen we have really missed getting together with her. She works as Abbott so it takes up so much of her time.
We had a birthday party for Mark and our closest friends came, but also to see Elle. Diane and Annabeth went in the moonwalk with Hans. Uncle Adam came and brought Hans his new favorite toy a giant dinosaur, he also got Elle a huge stuffed animal pony and I got a plant from my favorite place Steins. Adam is definitely the best at knowing what to get people. Hans goes everywhere with the dinosaur and he uses the pony as food for the dino.
Dan was in so they came by to see the baby and of course borrow a movie. Hans follows Dan around like he is his little shadow.
