We were all so excited to have my bestie come to stay with us last weekend. It was a blast. We picked her up from the airport on Friday morning around 10 after a quick trip to the gym in the morning to play. She got in on time and all was smooth.
After, we headed to Chik-Fil-A to let Liam play a little bit and get some lunch. Naps came soon after and then we all got ready for a fun night with my other Northern friends who just moved down in June. Pat and his family bought a house in The Trails so they are super close to us and it felt like old times!!! He and his family got here around 5ish and his kids are so sweet with Liam and Rowan. They are 8 and 6 and the most mature, helpful kiddos. We drank and ate lots and did not go to bed until 2 am! OH MY! But so worth it!!!
I woke up early at 6 am and somehow felt great! Kate is training for a marathon so we had planned on doing a long run she had mapped out. She was feeling a little queazy, but we still managed to complete 7 miles! It felt great. After, I made breakfast and we went out for a relaxing manicure while the kids napped.
Saturday night, we had plans to go to a circus themed 1st birthday party that was so much fun!!! It was amazing...the decorations, the food, the drinks, the cake, the games. Every detail was truly exceptional!!! Pinterest she says, but WOW! I could never have pulled this off! We were there from about 4-8 and we all had a blast with some really nice people.
That night, we put the kids to bed, relaxed and we were all in bed pretty early.
Sunday morning, I took Liam to church while all others relaxed at home. Then, we wanted to feed Kate some good Mexican food so we went to Blue Goose for brunch. Delish as always!!! Kids were exhausted and went down for naps when we got home. So, Kate and I drove around to explore and I wanted to do a little shopping. We also got in on a few open houses in Plano. I miss doing that regularly with Rick on the weekends. So much fun!!!
And it was already time to head back to the airport. :( We did hit downtown for a short time before dropping her at Love Field so she could at least check out downtown Dallas even if we are too old to party and "hang" ;) down there these days! Quick, but very enjoyable time!!!
We stopped at Carraba's on the way home and had such a yummy dinner. Great ending to an awesome weekend!!! Happy Monday!
SIDENOTE: Rowan is REALLY walking. She is up to 8 steps on her own and is really starting to want to walk more, and crawl less. Looks like it is time to get some shoes!
AND, GREAT NEWS for Liam. His speech therapist did a short, informal evaluation last Thursday and we found that he is now only 2 months behind as opposed to 6 for expressive and his receptive is almost age equivalent!!! SO PROUD OF HIM!!!!!
