Memorial Day

Memorial weekend was great!! We spent the weekend at my Grandma S. cottage on Lake Michigan. Janie came in from Chicago and it is always great spending time with her. Still a little cool at the lake but a wonderful relaxing weekend and I will always take a weekend where Chris has NO cell phone signal!! :) Grandma enjoyed taking her Great Grandson for a walk and I am sure Wade enjoyed it too!!

Jack did make it down to the beach to play baseball with Dad but we didn't get any pictures. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can all spend time on the beach. Chris did enjoy taking pictures of the beautiful sunsets on the lake.

Wade was wonderful as always and the fresh air had him sleeping great. He is still sleeping 12 hrs at night which was helpful staying at the cottage with lots of people. No one woke up in the middle of the night b/c of a crying babe!

Here is Jack enjoying a fudgesicle. Can't decide if more ended up on his face or in his tummy!!!

Mary and Jane

Mary and Jane came into town this weekend and we helped Abu open the cottage!! Saturday night we all had dinner together at Bonefish Grill!! We couldn't find a babystitter forJack and Wade but they were both great at dinner !!! Jack colored with Mary and took a few walks to check the Red Wings score. He was also very excited to see that they had Mac-n-Cheese on the menu at Bonefish!!

Abu enjoyed holding Wade as well and Janie. He was super good and didn't cry once. Wade got lots of attention from our table as well as from a few tables around us.

Here are the boys together and boy am I glad that they do so well in restaurants. Wade even fell asleep right as our food got to the table and we all got to enjoy our dinner!! Thanks Jane and Mary for coming into town to visit us!! See you in a few weeks! Love you!!

Dad, we checked out a few baby pictures of you when we were at the cottage and Wade looks just like you!!!
