Our Family: What a Weekend....

Friday: Kaylin, Ethan and I met my mom in Dewitt and went shopping in Davenport. After shopping we went to Relay 4 Life in Camanche. We all watched proudly as my dad walked with all the survivors of cancer. After the survivor walk, my dad wasn't feeling well so he went home and the rest of us went to Village Inn to eat. Ethan was not a happy camper at Village Inn and screamed and cried the whole time. It was also extremely hot in there and my poor baby was dripping sweat. My sister Jolene ended up stripping him down to his diaper, but that didn't calm him much. Finally we got him calmed down and content, of course when it was time to leave.

Saturday: Ethan turned 1 month old; Wednesday he had had a doctor's appointment and is weighing in at 10lbs. The kids and I hung around home for the day. I picked up my house and Kaylin and I had a "dance party" which she thought was hilarious. When Chad got home from work, we headed to my parent's house to surprise my niece Alishia, who had been in Okinawa Japan for the summer. We got to my parent's and ate supper and patiently waited for her to get there. Finally she got there, we all said our hellos, gave our hugs and she FINALLY met Ethan for the first time. Alishia then got asked to be Ethan's Godmother and of course she was thrilled.

Sunday: We went to Julie and Craig's house to have a Welcome Home brunch with the family. We ended up not leaving their house until about 8:00. It is so good to have Alishia back home, 3 months was too long!
