Last weekend was a busy one. Daniel came home from his business trip to Boston, some friends came to visit, and we had a big family dinner at my grandparents’ house.
First, Daniel’s business trip. I don’t even think it should be called a business trip. Yeah, there was a big conference type thing and he was working about 12-15 hours a day BUT listen to what else he did…
-
He got to eat at a restaurant everyday paid for by the company. We are good about our budget and usually only go out to eat once a month and I love going out to eat so I was a little jealous.
-
He went to a fabulous seafood restaurant with FRESH seafood. Such a waste 🙂 Daniel refuses to eat seafood, and I LOVE seafood. And what did my silly husband order at said fabulous seafood restaurant? A burger. A burger!
-
And lastly, where did my “baseball is soooo boring” husband go (for free) while in Boston? Fenway! Yes, my husband who thinks watching paint dry is more interesting than baseball, got to see the Red Sox play at Fenway Park. I could die.
So basically, Daniel went on a business trip that was essentially one of my dream vacations. I was so jealous.

After spending the afternoon with friends visiting from out of state, we had a family dinner at my grandparent’s house. We all ate together in their huge backyard and the kids had tons of room to run around. There was a lot of adoption talk 🙂 My grandparents adopted all three of their kids so they have a good understanding of what we’ve been through up to this point. Everyone in our family is so happy and excited for us to adopt 🙂 I am so grateful that our extended family has the experiences and feelings they do with adoption. They know the blessing it is and can’t wait to welcome another child into our family and experience the excitement of adoption again.
Aurelia had a lot of fun running around with her cousins but for some reason I didn’t take any pictures. I’ll have to remember for next time. My grandma gave us fresh raspberries from their garden and some homemade raspberry jam to take home (yum!).
It was a fabulous weekend of friends and family.
