Wonderful Long Weekend!

Having Tom home Friday and Monday made for a wonderful extended Birthday and Mother's Day weekend.

Friday we went during the day and bought Noelle a much needed sand and water table. It has become a new fixture on our deck and something that Noelle loves to play in. We had our new favorite babysitter (besides family) come over Friday evening while we went out to dinner. After dinner we planned on stopping by Lowe's and buying a PUSH mower for the yard. Well, the shinny appeal of a big new tractor was too much to handle and there was no way we were walking out of the store with a lowly push mower. So, we bought a new lawn tractor!

Saturday morning I was greeted with an awful migraine that made it difficult to enjoy the beautiful weather. Luckily, Tom was able to help out with Noelle. The new tractor was delivered in the morning and held both Tom's and Noelle's attention for awhile. Of course, Tom had to mow the lawn and play around on his new toy, as Noelle watched and yelled out the window "Vroom, Vroom, Hi Dada!" She was very enthralled and just wanted to sit on it and touch every part of this new interesting machine.

The rest of the weekend went by too quickly. We spent a lot of time outside and just doing things as a family. When Tuesday morning came it was really hard to say goodbye to Tom. Noelle woke up and instantly went to every room calling for her daddy!

This weekend I get to see my sister, brother and Dad!! Charlotte is going to take Noelle for the night on Friday while Tom and I attend a Tigers game. Saturday, we will meet them at Alex's hockey game and cheer on our favorite hockey player! It will be really great to see them and Noelle will have a lot of fun spending the night at Aunt Charlotte's apartment. We love that Alex does get some opportunities to play hockey in the Detroit area and we are able to see him.

Thank you all for reading what is going on in our house!!
