Pure Michigan. Part Two.

Yesterday I did not unpack one single thing. My house is a disaster. We didn't get in until midnight on Sunday making yesterday a difficult day. The kind of day I wish I liked coffee. Anyway, a little more about Michigan...

The Sunday of my sister's shower was when Will got in to town, man I was glad to see him. Not only did I miss him A LOT, but I realized how thankful I am for a husband who helps as much as he does with Maddux. Being a single mom would not be easy. Sunday night we ventured off to the cottage which I blogged about last week (see, I had a little time for blogging). We thoroughly enjoyed our visit there and probably could have used a couple more nights :) Anyway, upon returning back into GR we did dinner with our friends. My mom made a sliders bar, yum. All the fixins and toppings you could imagine! The next few days we spent time with family and friends. Here are some pictures of the different people Maddux got to spend time with (throughout the two weeks)...

Maddux was a trooper. We were on the run non stop and he was always so well behaved.

On Thursday of our second week I got a chance to catch up with my cousins. My mom took Maddux while Will headed out with his buddies. The cool thing is between myself and my 6 cousins - we're all girls within 4 years of each other and enjoy spending time together. Here we are enjoying a girls night out (which doesn't happen often)!

We had a great night together laughing, catching up, and reminiscing about childhood. I can't wait to do it again girls!!!

Tomorrow will be my last Michigan post....Jodi and Buck's wedding extravaganza!
