Father's Day Weekend

Visiting with Gwen and Dennis
Hanging out in the hotel room
Bathing in the sink!
Dad and his little girl
By the pool with LuLu, Joe and Scottie

We had a busy, but fun weekend. Saturday Mike's half sister Gwen Robins and her husband Dennis came to visit. It was the first time Mary Elizabeth had gotten to meet Gwen and Dennis. We ate lunch at Bonnie and Jerry's then headed to Ross Bridge for the night. It was the first time we had stayed overnight at a hotel with Mary Elizabeth and everything went well. She was good at dinner. The youngest and best behaved in the restaurant actually! We were off the regular schedule and didn't get her to bed until 9 (instead of 8), but other than that everything was good. The hotel sent a pack-n-play for a crib. Mary Elizabeth didn't mind, but I had expected a real crib. Sunday morning we woke up around 6:40 to find Mary Elizabeth wide awake, on her tummy with her sleep swaddle down around her waist. Since we were going straight to church Mary Elizabeth had to have a bath, which in a hotel sink was a two person job! We went to church with LuLu, Joe, Pat and Big Joe. Mary Elizabeth wore her dress from baby dedication and looked like a doll. After that it was off to Mama B and Papa House's for lunch, then to LuLu and Joe's for a little swimming. Peggy, Lea Ann, Jim, Scottie, Pat and Big Joe were all there. Pat and Big Joe gave Mike a beautiful book titled "Say Daddy." I know he and Mary Elizabeth will enjoy it. Needless to say the little girl was worn out. Her good humor wore out during the middle of the afternoon. She and her daddy got some hugging time in while he watched golf. I think it is safe to say that Mike enjoyed his Father's Day.
