Grandma and Grandpa arrived late Friday night and Ruby welcomed them with open paws as she knew she would be getting more attention than usual. Saturday morning, Andrew was quite surprised to see his grandparents when he woke up and he was very excited to say the least!

The ladies ventured out in the morning for a little pampering with manicure/pedicures. Once we returned, we made a quick stop at the doctor where we were pleasantly surprised that Andrew had no sign of another ear infection building in his left ear. We were concerned as he had been more fussy than usual and pulling on his left ear, which did not have an infection when we were at the doctor earlier in the week. I was so glad to hear that he was "faking it". The doctor's office is conveniently located by Michigan Avenue, so we decided some shopping was in order. After brief visits to Bloomingdales and Nordstrom, we made our way home. Steve had planned a "surprise" night out for us to celebrate our 4 year anniversary and we had Grandma and Grandpa to babysit! We had a great night out, we went to an art auction benefiting Gilda's Club at the Flat Iron Building which was the same place that we had our first date about 6 years ago. Then, we went to dinner at One Sixty Blue.
On Mother's Day, we headed to brunch at Meli Cafe, which was perfect and will become a regular brunch spot for us, the food was excellent. We had some downtime before we headed over to David and Catherine's for a BBQ. Catherine's parents were in town as well, so it was great to have both sets of parents together! Josh and Eliza are great with Andrew and get very excited when he comes over. This is a sample of what happens when you attempt to get a "Mother's Day" picture with 3 children including a little girl who "loves" babies - especially her cousin Andrew!
Eliza finally got to hold the "baby" and Josh and I were able to sneak in a quick shot!
We loved having your family over for Mother's Day!
