Lots of Updates!

Sorry it's been so long! We had a busy week last week preparing and heading out to Cali, and this week...well I'm just enjoying every little second with our little Boo after being away for about 5 days. So, I'll give you a speedy update version of the last 2 weeks. :)

My childhood home has officially sold! (home to our family for 24 years)

Before it was official, I took Quinn over there. She smiled and added right to the joy of mommy's family home.


Grandpa and Grandma Dalton were in town for a while with the house closing and watching Quinn for us so we got lots of time together. We also snuck in some time with Auntie Amy, and cousins Aidan and Liam too.

Cali ~ I left Wednesday afternoon and headed out to Southern California with some girlfriends. The leaving part was very hard but once we were on our way, we had a blast, so many laughs and it was much needed after a challenging pregnancy (and bedrest). We headed out to Temecula (Southern California Wine Country). We spent a day on a jeep tour through the vineyards and stopping at three wineries to taste (yum!) It was my first time drinking in a year... haha I jumped right in with a total of 18 wine tastings that day (and many were quite generous tastings of a half glass). It was absolutely gorgeous there, and an amazing day with the bride-to-be.
Todd flew out on Friday and joined us for the start of the wedding festivities, with rehearsal dinner and the wedding on Saturday. (The wedding was beautiful ~ I'll do a little wedding post later.) By the time we knew it, the wedding weekend had flown by and Sunday morning we were at the airport headed home to Chicago and our baby girl!

Many thanks to grandma and grandpa for taking such good care of our little Quinn.

I think they soaked up how snuggly this little girl is. :)

Grandma Ginny is home from Arizona and Quinn was able to meet her for the first time while we were away. I'm sure they got some good snuggle time in too. :) We are looking forward to seeing Grandma Ginny again real soon now that we are home.

Mother's Day ~ My very first Mother's Day! I was so excited because I think I had been looking forward to being a mom my whole life. We got home late in the afternoon and I just snuggled with our beautiful baby girl. We are so very lucky.
Happy belated Mother's Day to all you mom's!
