This past weekend I was reminded how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family and husband. With Michele and Mike living so far away, our times together as one big family are few and far in between. Mike had come to Green Bay for work on Thursday and coincidentally, his brother who works for Disney was going to be in town on Saturday for a show at the Resch Center. So Michele decided to fly to Green Bay for the weekend. She is planning on coming home next month for my baby shower, so this trip was really just an added bonus. Her flight was suppose to come in on Friday at 7:30 in Milwaukee, but the plane had mechanical problems in Boston and she didn't come into Milwaukee until 9:30 or so. Mike picked her up and they got to Green Bay around 11:30 that night. I am proud to say I managed to stay awake waiting for them! (OK, maybe I snoozed just a little on my parents couch!) Saturday, Michele and Mike came over to see the baby's nursery, went to lunch, met up with Andrew, Mike's brother, and then met the family up at Eve's to celebrate dad's birthday - Happy Birthday Dad! As usual, Eve's did not disappoint and we had a wonderful dinner with great food, our favorite waitress Mary Ann, and wonderful company! We were excited to have both Grandma Willis and Grandma Von join us for the meal!
Given that the weather was nicer than forcasted, we decided on Sunday we really needed to take advantage so we put on some sweatshirts, made a fire in the fire pit, and sat out in the sun and grilled brats and burgers. It was such a fun afternoon. After a long Wisconsin winter, nothing beats sitting outside for the first time taking in the sun:) It was ALMOST like we were at Miller Park for Opening Day!
