I should have pictures to go with all the excitement from last week, but I either don't, or haven't uploaded them yet. The day after we met Thomas the Tank Engine was Doug's birthday. Your typical Monday, unfortunately. Met parents VE for dinner Wednesday to do birthday "things." Thursday Doug went in to work early, took a quick break to see his child around dinner, and headed back to work until about midnight. Friday was my birthday, a pretty deflated one at that. Most people remembered... eventually. A summary of our birthdays would be for Doug: undercooked cupcakes. For Amy: we had Wendy's for dinner. Hooray.
My own parents came on Saturday and we got a lot of work done around the house with my Dad helping in the yard. Sunday morning brought Doug's graduation from U-M-Dearborn with his graduate degree in Engineering Management. So parents VE came with friends Paul and Nicole, along with my own parents, to see the ceremony. And did I mention that Roman was a fantastic little boy through all this excitement? He rolled with the punches and even played well for the 1-1/2 hours he stayed in the Field House for graduation. He eventually got to watch a video with his Grandpa in the car for the last part of the ceremony. We then all 9 of us trooped out to a yummy late lunch at Bravo's Italiano.
Sunday afternoon found everyone driving back home, and us looking at an Open House for a home I had been wanting to see inside of for months. It's been on the market forever and I wanted to see what was "wrong." Just location, on the corner of 2 busy streets. Way out of our price range, but if it was IN our price range I'd put an offer on it tonight. I really liked it.
We were all in bed much earlier than our usual bedtimes. Roman was exhausted and in bed by 7:30, asleep by 8pm. Doug went to bed about 9:30 and I followed around 10pm. Whew!
