Weekend Visitors

Oh. Hi.
(A blog? What’s that? I have one?)
I hadn’t intended to take a break this past week, but I know you really didn’t want to hear about the laundry. I’m sure that’s all I did (at least until Friday when my friend Sarah called for a playdate at the park).
But this weekend was busy, full, and FUN. Andy’s folks flew down for a quick visit, arriving at our house a little after noon on Saturday.
This takes a little explaining. Andy is an only child. However, his friend J lived with Andy’s family during summers and Christmas vacations and he’s sort of like the adopted son/brother. He was the best man in our wedding. (And then surprised us all and got married himself, a couple of years later.) He and his wife live in Atlanta.
So anyway, Andy’s folks drove here with them. The guys, including Drew, went golfing Saturday afternoon and Drew pretty much thought he had died and went to heaven. (As Andy so perfectly put it, he “got to drive around in a golf cart, run around in a field, hit a ball with a metal object, and hang out with dad.”)
(And yes, he’s been asking to go play golf ever since. Andy even bought him a set of real, albeit tiny, clubs.)
(They’re currently residing on the very top shelf.)
Meanwhile, both my girls, my mom-in-law, and L all went to tea (what else?) and then did a little boutique shopping. I was a little curious/nervous to see how Adelaide would do but she did great!
She only dumped one cup of tea in her lap but made up for it with the other twelve that she actually drank. (They were baby cups. But still. Let’s just say we found out she likes tea.)
(And I’m still kicking myself that I didn’t get any pictures of Adelaide’s first real tea party. I was sure I left my camera at home and later found that it had been in my purse that entire time. GAH.)
The boutique maternity store I wanted to show L (also pregnant) ended up being closed but we were able to peek around one of my favorite kids stores. Later I’ll have to show you the matching dresses my mom-in-law bought the girls. (They need to be hemmed.)
Saturday night we got a babysitter (only took me two weeks; EVERYONE is out of town) and we all went to Andy’s restaurant for a VERY nice dinner and I didn’t even have to cut up anyone’s food!
(Fortunately Andy’s pretty good about cutting his own.)
(The only mistake was my drinking waaay too much iced tea. I woke up at 3:45 WIDE AWAKE, which was rather inconvenient.)
After church we had a quick lunch of Chinese food and then the kids played a little with the grandparents before they needed to head back.
A whirlwind trip, but very fun.

Glad you ended up finding a babysitter!
I had a feeling Adelaide would do OK with tea…she’s such a girly-girl ;o)
Fun!
Sounds like a fun-filled weekend. I always enjoy when family or friends come to town and it changes up the routine for a weekend. Although, I am very disappointed you didn’t take me up on my babysitting. It made me think…Cody and I have been married for 6 years. So that means I haven’t seen you in that long. AND, in a few more months we will have 6 kids between the 2 families. When are we ever going to see each other again????????
I surprised everyone by getting married? (chuckling) Why was that so surprising?
