Mother's Day Weekend

This past weekend we attended Ben and Melissa's wedding back in Michigan. Thursday night we stayed with Grandma Helen and Grandpa Arza in Jackson. On Friday morning we headed over to Northville so Aunt Brynn and Uncle Phil could get acclimated on baby things.

Philip and I headed to rehearsal dinner on Friday night and it sounds like Natalie had a fun time with her godparents. I came back Friday night so to spend sometime with Natalie on Saturday before the wedding. We had a nice morning and great breakfast made by Uncle Phil.

Saturday afternoon I left for the wedding and my first overnight away. Thank you Brynn and Phil for making me feel so comfortable leaving. I was able to enjoy the wedding and reception and avoid any worry or tears.

Sunday I woke up to a great picture of Natalie holding a Happy Mother's Day sign. We went to the post wedding brunch and got back to our little lady and a nice BBQ lunch put on by Aunt Brynn and Uncle Phil. Grandma and Grandpa Dilloway were down for the evening so they came over for a bit to celebrate Mother's Day as well. It was a short few hours but so great to see them.

Sunday late afternoon we packed up and headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a great dinner, thank you Grandma for making Mac and cheese, Natalie is a huge fan. We had a nice relaxing evening and Monday morning before heading back to Chicago. And thank you again for hanging the swing, Natalie loves it.

Thank you to our hosts for having all of us and dealing with our crazy schedule this weekend. We appreciate the babysitting and pictures Brynn and Phil.  It was so nice to celebrate Ben and Melissa, Mother's Day and seeing our moms on their day. Lastly, a thank you to Philip. He made Mother's Day morning so nice with breakfast in bed and a beautiful bracelet. It was hard not to be around Natalie Sunday morning but you certainly made me feel better, I love you.
