NASCAR Race and Visit from Logan

Pretend this post was from the weekends of June16 & 23...not because that is when I started writing this post but because that is when these events took place :)

The weekend of June 16 really doesn't have anything to do with Andrew or the nature of this blog, but it was a lot of fun, so I feel it deserves a mention and some pictures!

As many of you know, my husband has become a diehard NASCAR fan, that's right...I said NASCAR! The weekend of June 16, the races were at Michigan International Speedway, so we deemed it appropriate to gather our friends, rent a bus, drink a little (or a lot...depends on who you are referring to) and pretend to be rednecks for a day.  Except we do not do NASCAR redneck style, we do it right...full hospitality, meet and greet with celebrities (if you actually know who they are...if not, you say things like "Ohhhh, you are on TV, right??," up close and personal with the cars and teams, etc. It was a blast, and I think we turned a few people into NASCAR fans that weekend!

The following weekend, we had a visit from the Friedleins, including Andrew's buddy Logan. I am so lucky in the fact that within a few months of Andrew's birth, my cousin and three of my friends also had babies. This has been incredibly helpful for those "Is this normal?" or "Am I doing the right thing?" questions!! Anyhow, the weekend of the 23rd, the Friedlein's brought Logan for a visit. He and Andrew had a great time playing and wore themselves out while Lindsey and I went for a walk.

The walk was exhausting!!

 Stink eye!!

 

 

Visit to Memphis

Pretend this was in early June as that is when I started writing this post and saved it to drafts :)

Last weekend, Andrew and I took a trip to Memphis to visit the family. I was terrified to fly with him by myself, but he was a rockstar. On the flight from GR to Detroit, he was awake and socializing with the people sitting around us, and on the flight from Detroit to Memphis, he sacked out and slept from 10 minutes before take-off until 10 minutes before landing. He was a bit fussier on the flights home, but he ended up sleeping through most of them.

We had such a great time visiting with the family and especially seeing his cousins!
