My parents were up from Texas....and I was especially excited to see my Mom...who has lost 122lbs!! I almost didn't recognize her when we picked her up from the airport.
We had a great day on Friday, shopping and getting pedicures. We managed to find some ivory satin for the ring bearer's pillow and lots of yarn for favors (which I really need to get working on). We had dinner w/ Mom & Dad at Fox's and went back to Aunt Sue & Uncle Ken's for a graduation party for their niece. Dan & I had a good time getting to hang out w/ my cousins...and their adorable kids! Dan had so much fun he didn't go to bed until 6am Saturday morning.
After a great breakfast w/ Mom & Jack we picked Dad up and headed to Mt. Prospect so Mom could meet Dan's parents. We had a nice quiet visit before more of Dan's family came over. All in all it was a great day!
Sunday we all went to the church where Dan & I are going to get married and then stopped at the reception hall so Mom could see it. We even got some more of our questions answered while we were there. Afterwards we took Mom & Dad back to Gramma Red's where they stayed until leaving on Monday. We got to spend more time w/ Dad's side of the family and it was definitely great getting to see everyone.
The visit sure was short, but we managed to get a lot done. I'm soooo glad my mom got to come up before the wedding; I was sad to see her go so soon :(

I'm also glad that I was able to come up, thanks to Dan. Dan's parents and the rest of his family fit in with our family. I already have 9 of the bags completed but don't have the ribbon threaded yet. Love your pics. I hated to leave so soon also. October will be here before we know it.
love
mom
