Memorial Day weekend in MI

We headed to MI on thursday night after work. We were hoping to be on the road at 7pm after Jim's softball game... but we ended up not getting on the road until 9pm. And our theory that Josh would sleep the entire way because it was night time - didn't even last 2 hours. The 7 hour drive wasn't too bad as I saved new toys that Josh hadn't played with until he was unbearable and trying to bust out of the car seat.

Friday - We slept in while G'ma and G'pa Kirkwood watch Josh and Hilo. We had some breakfast and then decided we had better get our long run in as the rest of the weekend was going to be jam packed full of plans. So Jim and I went on our 5 mile run... only 3 more weeks until the 10k! I still can't believe we are doing this. We made it through the 5 mile run and went back for some lunch. We met up with Tara and Mark later that night along with Jim's sis Catherine to watch Indiana Jones. It was fun to see in the theater because of all the action - but definitely not a favorite Indy movie. I will stick with Raiders of the Lost Ark. :)

Saturday - Again slept in while the G'parents woke up early with Josh. Love it! We hung out until noon then went down to stay with my friend Becky and her family in OH. It was really nice hanging out with her and the kids. We had dinner and watched clips from their wedding video (um yeah - there were some bloopers I had to see) and of course watch the Red Wings win again!

Sunday - We were up early with all the kids and getting ready for Rylan's baptism. Becky and Justin asked us to be his Godparents. We were definitely excited! We sat in the front pew which was a little scary at first. But thankfully Josh loved playing with Austin (9) and Justine (7) and was really good. Austin took him up to the altar for the "kids spot". It was so cute! Rylan was just perfect during the baptism, didn't make a sound. We went back to their house for some lunch and visited with their families. Then we made the drive to Royal Oak for our neice Izzy's 1st b-day. The place was packed with lots of family and friends. It was very hot outside that day so we were in and out of the house. Josh was doing pretty well still... but napping was not happening that day.

Monday - We were up early as Josh was just done with all the moving around. We had breakfast and then packed up for the drive home. Again - I saved a few new toys for him for the ride home. It was a pretty good drive back, but it felt GREAT to be home. This last picture was legit... I turned around to see how Josh was doing and Hilo was completely zonked out like that... Best pals for sure!
