Charlie and Seda: Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day weekend was great! Our good friends, Pete, Liz, their daughter, Brooklyn, and their two dogs, Tatum & Logan, came to visit for a few days. We stayed up late Friday night to wait for them, and of course Charlie was up early Saturday morning. The guys went fishing for the day while Liz & I stayed home with the kiddos and dogs. It was a beautiful weekend, so we spent a lot of it outside in the backyard. We threw the ball for the dogs, went on a hike through the woods, and played with some toys. The guys were back for dinner so we grilled some hamburgers.

On Sunday, we headed out early for breakfast at the Huron Mountain Bread Co. We then headed to Sugar Loaf to do a little hike to the top to see a great view of Marquette. It was again a beautiful day, and Charlie loved hiking! He walked the entire way by himself, looking for rocks along the way. There are a lot of big rocks and tree roots along the trail, so Charlie enjoyed climbing, jumping and running. After our climb, both kiddos fell asleep in the car, so the guys let Liz and I walk through Target while they stayed in the car. After that we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch (this is a tradition we have with the Millers, so we figured we'd stick with it!) We headed back to the house after lunch, and Brooklyn and Liz took a little snooze. Charlie had no interest in going back to sleep, so we set up the water table for him and the rest of the us sat out on the porch getting some sun and drinking strawberry daiquiris. When Liz and Brooklyn woke up, the guys started on our Mother's Day dinner. They made Mojito chicken, asparagus, salad, and garlic bread. We enjoyed a nice dinner, then the guys headed out to fish again. Liz and I gave the kiddos a bath and put them to bed. After that, we poured ourselves a drink and watched Sex in the City 2.

It was a great Mother's Day weekend. I consider myself the luckiest mom in the world because I could not ask for a better son. These past two years with Charlie have been amazing, and it just keeps getting more exciting every day! I look forward to many more years of celebrating being his mommy!
