M&M Day

So, I know that you all have been on pins and needles waiting to hear all about last weeks M&M Day. I do apologize that it has taken me until now, but life just gets away from me sometimes.

Wednesday was our scheduled M&M day. We had the usual morning grins and giggles, dropping daddy off at work, and taking hours to get ready as we laughed and played in-between each step. We did run many errands though. Since Uncle Eric and Aunt Emily decided that they would indeed like mommy to do their wedding invitations, we had to go all over town to get the supplies (insert LMYC story here). It was a wonderful day. People love being around Mia, seeing her smiling little face, and it is such a treat to spend every day together.

Then...

SURPRISE! We got another M&M day on Friday. My work was having a day at the park and authorized me to bring Mia along. We got up bright and early to get to work by 7:00 am. (I let Mia stay in her pajamas because who honestly wants to get dressed that early). We did some work at the office so that mommy could honestly clock her 10 hours. At 8:30 am, Amanda met us at work and we all piled in our cars to head off to the park. Well, in true Colorado spring/summer time, it surprised us with rediculously cold temperatures. Looking out the window you would have thought it was a beautiful, breezy 75 degree day with all the sunshine. However, it was only about 45-50 degrees. Way too cold for the little princess. Mia and mommy sat snuggled close under the gazebo. We had two HUGE blankets wrapped around us which was perfect for the time being as she slept soundly in my arms. But I just knew that this wasn't going to work for the whole day. So, we ended up going home around lunch time. Mia ate a little bit of her delicious formula, and then we crawled in mommy & daddy's bed to thaw out. After a glorious 4 hour nap, we woke up, giggled and played, did some laundry, started some dinner, and waited anxiously for daddy to come home and play with us.

The rest of the weekend continued on in the same fashion. A little bit of lazy, a little bit of chores, seeing friends and family, and all in all enjoying our little family and the time it had together. It was a wonderful weekend with a few extra special days to make the week that much better.

Here are a few Mia pictures taken over the course of this weekend....Enjoy!
