Thursday - The long weekend started bright and early at 445a when we all had to rise and prepare for the airport. Maci was so excited to fly in a plane! She flew 2x last summer but really doesn't remember it and with me traveling so much, she was quite jealous about the airplane experience.
My mom picked us up from the airport once we landed around 1030a. By the time we had luggage, got to the car and drove to the west side it was about 1130a and we were ready for the beloved SKYLINE! We came home and ate while catching up with Molly, the big graduate! After eating lunch, we all took a quick walk together around the neighborhood to burn some Maci energy. When we got home, my dad had just gotten home from his 1/2 day of work and we all took a quick cat nap. That is all of us BUT Maci - URGH! Come 2p, we had to head to the Cintas center on Xavier University's campus for Molly's 3p graduation. It was fun to see Molly in her cap and gown, where did the years go?! Molly also had quite the family entourage at her graduation : Aunt Sue, Mike, Kendall, Uncle Tom, Aunt Marilyn/Uncle Ken, Mom/Dad, Meghan/Nicholas/Preston, and Clint/Maci/me. We are so proud of our soon to be OSU Buckeye!
We ended the fun graduation evening with a dinner at Price Hill Chili - Yum!!
Friday - I started the day getting caught up on a little bit of work email and paying bills while Maci ran around eating cereal and talking to grandma. Once we finished some morning work, mom, Maci and I headed to the grocery for a quick trip and stopped by Busken for some yummy donuts. When we got home, Clint and Maci were also up and enjoyed donuts with us. I really wanted to get a pedicure and needed to treat my mom for her Mother's day gift. Since Clint also likes getting a summer pedicure, we left Maci with Molly who wasn't so interested in the outing. Miss M had so much fun with her Molllllyy while we were away and Molly even got her to nap :)
It was then time to pull off the big 60 surprise party for my dad. Clint and I acted like we were heading to meet his parents a little early and then Mom/Dad were going to join us at LaRosa's for dinner. Except when he got there, we were all there in the party room along with another 20 or so family/friends and he was totally surprised! Miss M had so much fun bouncing from cousin to cousin and my parents friends that we barely saw her all night. After the party ended around 9p, many came back to my parents for the after party. Miss M would NOT let herself fall asleep until the last minute of fun had concluded so I finally had to go to bed with her around midnight b/c she would not given in to her sleepy eyes =) It didn't help that all of her cousins were also staying the night and pulling some late hours as well. Dad had a little too much fun and was asleep on the couch earlier than Maci so Clint tried to take advantage and have her sleep with him - it didn't last but the pic is cute!
Once Maci and I finally got to sleep, Aunt Tiffany/Uncle Dustin/Clint shut the party down around 230a - Yowzers! :) That makes for a rough early morning with a bunch of kiddos ;-)
Saturday - It was a crowded house Saturday morning since so many had stayed over at my parents but it was so fun to make up to all the kids playing together - it gets me excited for the family reunion in Indiana at the end of June! We spent a good portion of the morning hanging out, playing outside and watching TV before heading to Molly's graduation party at Delhi Park come 2p. Molly had a lot of good friends show up as well as our entire family and her Lacrosse head coach. The weather stayed awesome almost the entire day, just one sprinkle shower around 430p. The party ended around 6p. Afterward, Mom, Molly, Clint, Maci and I went to the St Jude festival so we could watch Maci ride rides and eat some yummy festival food (i.e. hot dog, Hawaiian ice etc) We finally ended our evening around 9p and we were all exhausted from a long day of non stop fun!
Sunday - Thank goodness Maci at least let everyone sleep until 8a, she has to be dead too with minimal naps and late nights! Once we all got up and around, Clint and I treated my parents/Molly to breakfast at my favorite place, Price Hill Chili! Breakfast ended around 11a and that meant it was time to pack up and get heading for the airport. We had a 120p flight home from Cincy and that got us home at 210p, thanks to the gain of an hour coming back to Central Time. We spent the rest of the day doing laundry, picking up the dog, running to the grocery etc. I am now exhausted and Miss M just went down for the night.
We hope you all have a wonderful 1st week of June!!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
