Weekend Road Show

As you can see Jack was very excited to pack up the car Thursday after Preppy got home to go to "Mimi's House"! He did not mind one bit that he had only been home for 2 nights, Jack is a traveling fool. The ride to Chicago is always an easy one because the roads are clear and Jack is just happy thinking about his destination. I love all of the family car time, it gives us so much uninterrupted time to talk. It makes me feel like Preppy and I are dating again, rediscovering each other likes/dislikes and just making one another laugh to pass the time. We got in around 11pm, let Jack play with Mimi & Papa a bit and then head to bed. Jack has it down to a good routine there!

Mike took the day off on Friday so we could hang out with the family and head into the city to meet the Harris's. They were spending the weekend in Chicago to celebrate their 5 year anniversary! Chicago has had an amazing spring thus far, but of course when Brian & Gina were in town the Windy city was living up to it's name. Around the low 50's, windy, and wet. Thankful that they fit us into their romantic weekend, they are such a wonderful couple and we are blessed with their friendship. Lunch at RL was yummy and cozy, it was fun to eat a whole meal without the kids!

Jack was back in the 'burbs getting spoiled by Mimi. Papa picked Preppy & I up at the train station, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon all together. Even loading everyone up in the Burb and running errands, Mike won some serious brownie points with Mom taking her to tile store where Dad was held captive and had to go in and look at choices (they are redoing the sunroom). Random afternoon but always fun just being with each other. Later that night homemade pizza's were consumed and "We Bought A Zoo" watched. This goodbye was an easy one because we will be back in 11 days!

The start was early Saturday morning as the Zeilstra wedding started at 1:30pm in Grand Rapids. The 3.5 hour car trip seemed like the blink of an eye. Jack got to spend Saturday with his Grandma and Grandpa Postma, and Auntie Katie! Like usual we left and there were no tears shed by Jacky Bear, he knew another day of spoiling was ahead of him:)

It had been 2 years since we have seen many of Mike's fraternity brother's and their wives. It was so good to spend the time with them catching up. Hope College gave us a great education, Christian foundation, but also amazing lifelong friendships! That just sounded super corny but it's true. It was a gorgeous wedding and I had many a laughs as the sober one watching everyone dance until midnight!

Sunday was spent with the entire Postma family. It is awesome to sit around the breakfast table with all 10, not an easy thing with everyone's busy schedules, so the time is cherished. It had been a while since the last group shot with all of the siblings, of course the sun was not participating even though all of the boys were, but glad I could get a few good ones! Jack and Noah played well together, only one chucking of the toy to Noah's head by big cousin Jack. Next time we are back there we will be bringing another little Postma along...wonder if she will be a blondie!?!?

At 2pm we were back in the car and headed home to our old Kentucky home! I would call it a successful Postma Road Show Weekend.
