Chad's Vacation

We had a wonderful week in Nashville! This was Chad's week of vacation & he went to Vegas for a few days with my dad, sister and cousins!

We planned Ellie's Baptism this day before she was even born. We knew it might be the only chance we had to all be home the same weekend. May 1, Ellie Marie was welcomed into the Church @ St. Edward in Nashville. Ann & Brandon were the maid of honor & best man in our wedding & how appropriate they are our 1st born daughters God parents! We are blessed to have them in our lives & such an important part of Elllie's life as well! After the Baptism we all went back to my parents house for dinner!

A disaster in happened this week while we were home. The rain began Saturday & continued into Sunday. The city flooded, it was the 1st disaster in Nashville's history. It was so sad to watch the news & see all that was ruined. Our house was ok & we were all safe, but friends & family were not as lucky. Some lost their homes, cars, family members. It was just awful!

The girls were out of school part of the week due to the flooding & water shortage. We had a nice week; visiting, eating lunch out, shopping ... I was able to catch up with friends. I met Monica for lunch & she introducd Ellie to her office friends. Wednesday was Cinco de Mayo ~ Ellie & I met Stacey & Cooper for lunch then went to visit Charlene. Chad got home from vegas & he was so happy to see his girl(s)!!

Thursday we went to Judson & introduced Ellie to Mom & Ann's work friends. Then dad took us out to lunch! Maggie & I got a manicure before we headed to Hermitage. Monica made dinner & we visited with Stephan & Aimee! Friday, Mom drove Ellie & I to Memphis! We met Amanda, Kate, Rachel, Kendall, Jack & Aundrea for lunch! I missed Aundrea's baby shower for Ethan on Sunday due to the floods. It was such a nice visit with them!! Then we went to pottery barn of course!

Saturday was Ann's graduation ~ we had her party that night! Sunday was my 1st Mother's Day! Chad made it special ~ he always does good but this was a special day! I was surprised with 2 sweet cards from Chad & Ellie, and a ring from Tiffany's!! I LOVE it~ We went to Church with my family, had lunch with his family, visited with his Granny before driving back home.

So, what a week!! It was SO FUN! We love spending time @ home with our friends & family, but were glad to be back @ our house too! Tuesday night Ellie slept for 6 hours!! Then the rest of the week she did 5-7 hours during the night~whoohoo! Our little sweetie is 2 months old & sleeping 6 hours!!! YAY~
