Happy 80th Birthday Mimi!!!

Two weekends ago, as mentioned in a previous post, we headed to Houston for Chloe's first trip away from home. It was my Grandma's 80th birthday celebration. We had family coming in from NY and Georgia as well as family friends from all over Houston. It was quite a fun weekend with lots going on. My Aunt Sheri really knows how to throw a party! With all the new faces, I laughed when my Brudder and Kari called ahead and said they had no expectation of getting a chance to hold Chloe since there would be so many people meeting her for the first time. At first, I thought they were crazy to make such a claim but later was thankful for their understanding as Chloe did meet LOTS of new family and friends. She did great with all the new people, constant activity, and a break from her schedule. Even though we came home EXHAUSTED, we were so thankful that we had made the trip. I'll include pictures from the birthday Luau below. (Thanks Grandma Sally for the perfect Luau outfit for Chloe!).

All too soon, we're headed out again! This weekend we are headed to Seattle for Dan and Devon's wedding. We're so excited to celebrate them and again for Chloe to meet lots of new friends. We also plan on having Thursday in Seattle for just our family on our FIRST ever family trip. Originally it was going to be a family trip with another sweet family that has a little girl...but a combination of things lead to some changes in those plans so now we'll have just our family on Thursday. I will totally be "that" mom on the plane with a baby! But, overall, we can't wait for a fun weekend.
