Another excellent weekend and to top it off the weather has been gorgeous!
On Saturday, Noomi and I headed into the Detroit area for my cousin Kim’s shower, while the boys stayed home and went for a walk through the woods and did general boy things. We had a great time at the shower. There were plenty of kids for Noomi to play with, the food was good, and it was nice seeing family! Noomi was quite taken with a three year old named, Hunter, and kept following him all around.
When we got home Dave’s aunt was over with her two youngest, Emily and Joe, as well as Grandpa Rod. They all came down for a fencing tournament in Lansing and stayed overnight with us. The kids loved having the older cousins over as well as Papa. We had pizza for dinner and all shared in leftover birthday cake from Ajax’s school party.
On Sunday, we cleaned and organized the house and then met the rest of the family in Leslie for the fencing tournament. We were able to see Emily compete, but after an hour the kids were running in circles and stomping on the bleachers. We didn’t want to be those parents, so we bounced a little early. When we got home Ajax and I went exploring in the woods behind the house, while Noomi and Dave played in the yard (the terrain got a bit bumpy for her and Dave). I also gave Dave a haircut and he now officially has a mohawk, which is pretty cool. He’s wanted one for a while and since he won’t be in the office for a few weeks now seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Well, with all our fun this weekend, it’s near 8 pm and poor Noomi is having a heck of a time going down for the night. She is way overtired and I’m hoping we’re not in for a rough night.
