My first Mother's Day was great :) We went to the early service for church and then after that we went to the mall (it was closed), Meijer and finally Target to find a mother's day gift for my mom (sorry mom-last minute i know). We got her a purse and a wallet-much needed let me tell you. Her old one was falling apart at the seams ;) After that we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Smit's house-they are just back from Florida and this was their first time seeing Baby A. As you can see Grandma Lily is quite proud =)
Grandma Lily made us a most fabulous meal of roast, beans, peas, carrots, rolls, jello salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, applesauce and last but not least strawberry pie-it's true we ate like kings! It was delicious and I definitely had 3 1/2 rolls.
After that we headed over to visit with Eric's parents. On Tuesday of this past week we blessed them with new landscaping and manual labor. We put bark down all around the house and moved a bunch of plants around. They loved it!
Yesterday the DeBoer's kindly invited us over. We try to get together with them about once a month. Lindsey made us a delicious Lasagna and I brought dessert, a Brown Sugar Spice Cake-yum! We were sitting down at the table enjoying our yummy lasagna when Adelyn's face turned a bright red and...
May 1-3 we went to Mackinac Island. It was our first time staying on the island, we stayed at the Lakeview Hotel and had a blast! We went with 3 other couples and all their kiddies :) We somehow convinced the hotel (I still don't know how we lucked out) to give us the master suite for the same price as the shoebox rooms. Seriously it was huge! The only complaint was that we were right across from the elevator and the water pressure in the shower was seriously to be desired. eh tradeoffs. Adelyn was once again a trooper while we traveled-I tell you what shes going to be a seasoned traveler by the time shes 1! We had lots of fun walking around, swimming, eating fudge, drinking coffee, riding on the ferry, playing with friends etc.
Family pic on the ferry ride over to the island-yes I know my daughter's belly is showing-that's terrible.
This is four generations: my mom, Grandma Lily, myself and Adelyn.

this was the result...SICK!
I cannot believe the amount of poo that comes out of one so small. As noticed by all my poo pictures it never ceases to amaze me and I think it needs to be documented.May 1-3 we went to Mackinac Island.

And last but not least-this picture was taken today:
Eric somehow thinks this is an acceptable form of entertainment-whatever, she's happy, he's happy, mama's happy, everyone's happy ;)
