Emily Allen Meyer was born Tuesday May 19th at 4:39pm. She weighed in at 7lbs 11oz and was 20.5" long!
I am sooo in love... I have to wait four weeks to see her and love on her... I can't wait! WOW!
Chris' birthday and Alli's Graduation Weekend: We drove down to Charlottesville on Friday night. We gave ourselves three hours to get down there, but it took four hours! Normally a two hour trip was delayed due to crazy Washington traffic! We met Chris' family at MAS, an amazing tapas restaurant, for a birthday dinner. If you live in Charlottesville and haven't been there, you have been missing out!We then drove to where we slept both nights, the Mincer's! We celebrated with ice cream cake and a night of Wii. Chris and Mark stayed up till after midnight playing Wii golf. Unfortunately we didn't spend much time with the Mincer's, but hopefully we can get down to Charlottesville again soon! What an amazing family!We had a jammed packed weekend that flew by! We celebrated Alli's graduation from UVa with lots to eat and lots of walking! We dined at The Local on Saturday night with Alli's roommates and their families. We made it to bed just in time to get back up on Sunday for graduation. It was raining, but luckly Chris' dad purchased ponchos for the family. After a diploma ceremony at Mem Gym, we packed up a few things of Alli's and grabbed a bagel to go at Bodo's! We made it home to find Chase very happy to see us, and a bedtime of 930pm. Back to work and excited for a three day weekend!Here is one picture from Alli... I will post more later
I finally had a weekend off from work, so I jam - packed it with things to do. Chris had his first tournament bball game on Friday night. They started down 14-0, but ended up winning by one point. We had dinner with the team at Chipotle and ended the night with Marley and Me. Don't watch it unless you are ready to cry!
Saturday we joined our fellow neighbors for a community clean up... boy, was that fun! I don't even want to begin to tell you the things people throw in the woods... disgusting. Chris then played tennis with a friend while I stayed home and cleaned....hmm, interesting? We had another appointment at Let's Dish and were able to make our eight meals in an hours time.... we divided and conquered! We then had an amazing dinner at Momo with Brittanie and Nate. We decided after dinner that we needed cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake. We drove into DC and then realized the Key bridge was closed because of the Cherry Blossom Parade, but don't worry, we drove another 30 minutes to get there, and then waited in a 45 minute line for our cupcakes! They are pretty good, but I am debating the decision to ever do that again!
Sunday included errands and a trip to Jones Point with Chase. We saw a bald eagle, it was amazing! Chris played some more basketball while I stayed home and cleaned out the closests and got ready for a trip to goodwill, hmmm... is this happening again? I stay home and work while he plays? I think something needs to change. lol! We "dished" a pork loin in the crock pot for dinner and watched Slumdog Millionaire... still not sure what I think about it. I am gearing up for another weekend off, and then another!! YEAH!!!
Chris and I traveled home to Indiana last Thursday to see Grandpa Barber and for Jessica's baby shower. Before picking up Aunt Becky on Friday night, Mom, dad, Chris and I went to see Kelly, Mike and Noah in Indy. Kelly and I have been friends since 4th grade, she had Noah in December after 3 and half months on bed rest, he is truly a miracle! He is so cute! We were only able to visit for an hour, but it was sooo good to catch up with her, I miss her! On Saturday, Becky and Mom baked and decorated cakes when we went to New Castle to see Grandpa. He is doing amazingly well. Not only did he leave the hospital within a week, but he was only at the rehab clinic for two nights. Jessica, Eric, Dad, Chris and I all went down to rescue him! He was ready to leave! We picked him up, bought him groceries, and had lunch. Sunday was the Baby Shower, Emily is SET as far as clothes go. I don't think people can resist the temptation to buy the cute little outfits. Jessica received about 30 bags of diapers. Bringing diapers was part of the shower secret surprise, but knowing Jessica she quickly figured it out. It was a great time, I was not happy to return to the real world!
Mom and Falkor paid a visit to Emily over the weekend. Falkor, who has been around numerous babies his whole life, can not stand when babies cry... even on tv. He feels the need to rescue them. This picture was taken when Emily woke up from a nap and was crying. Apparently when she wasn't crying, he would go over and get on his back legs and look into the bassinet without touching it. I LOVE this dog!!
