God Mother Duties

This past Saturday I was honored to attend the baptism of Mary Katharine Norton. She's my God Daughter and she's perfect. Her mommy, Carrie, and I met in grad school. We've spent a lot of years being pregnant together, wearing sweatpants, drinking coffee, discussing Detroit sports, and basking in the beauty of motherhood. She's my sounding board on days when I just need to vent. Judgement-free zone.

As always - big sister, Greta, was holding down the after-party...Paw Patrol Style.

While I'm not catholic - I LOVED the service for MK and feel so blessed to be part of her life. Would it be weird if someday her God Mother becomes her mother-in-law? I think I saw Nolan checking her out.

Rain, Rain

We had some rain in the forecast last week...and I refuse to complain about it because - AT LEAST IT WASN'T SNOW! So we filled our days with more "indoor" activities - like play dough!

Rainy mornings make it hard for Josie to get out of bed...Nope, wait...That's just EVERY morning. I swear to you, she is a teenager trapped in a two year old's body.  I have to wake her up to get Jack to school on time and I'm always met with flailing arms and shouts of "NO NO MOMMY!" Gosh, I can't wait until she's in high school.

Last Wednesday we observed Epilepsy Awareness Day by wearing purple for our friends Greta (Carrie's daughter) and Finn (my Alpha Phi sister's son). If you want to know more about Epilepsy and Seizure Awareness you can click HERE or to learn about Dravet Syndrome click HERE.

Have a great week!

Greta

Doesn't Jack look thrilled back there?

We stopped over at Carrie & Greta's house on Wednesday for some playtime. Carrie and I appreciated Dunkin Donuts coffee and adult conversation. The kiddos play around each other - because that's what they do at this age. Jack was difficult {per usual}. Josie and Greta were happy {per usual}.

Carrie loves toys - which makes her house WAY more fun than mine! A water table, a tent, baby dolls, and plenty of Little People - my kids were in heaven.
