Weekend Notes

What it looks like when weekends as you know it are about to change…


While Ben was away this past weekend on a boy’s trip, my mom came into town to keep me company.

We shopped at the farmer’s market and downtown market (gimmie more of that Madcap coffee milkshake!), explored new construction in Grand Rapids, wandered around the Bizarre Bazar art fair in Eastown and tried out a few new-to-my-mom restaurants.

The weather was perfect for lots of walking and with that and this six pound babe I got protruding in front of me I easily conked right out at the end of each night.

Ben reported back that his guy’s weekend was equally successful—you know, swap the shopping and coffee milkshakes for beach volleyball shenanigans and beer drinking.

He made it back home on Sunday tan, tired and with several big boxes in tow. Turns out Bub’s “uncles” are real excited to meet him, and want to ensure he’s properly diapered and happy.

Ben is the first in his friend group to be expecting a baby, and upon inspection of the diaper showering it showed just a bit... We’ve got a nice assortment of diapers for a 5 month to three year old!
