Best Husband Ever

 On May 25th, we had a wedding shower to attend.  Not only Michael and I, but all of our kids were invited to a couple's shower for my daughter-in-law's  brother and fiance.  We were excited, as it meant we would get to see Lauren and her blossoming pregnant belly.

That Saturday, I was up early. I was surprised to see Michael was already out running errands before I'd even had my coffee. When he isn't mowing the lawn, he often makes a run to Home Depot or the car wash. I was a little perplexed though, when his normal errand running time had passed and he still hadn't returned.  Still browsing the web, drinking my coffee and wearing pajamas, I finally heard the front door open.  I thought I heard a second set of footsteps and wondered if maybe this hadn't been a typical Saturday morning for errands. Maybe he and Elisabeth had something to take care of.

I was caught off guard when I found my son, Christopher, standing behind my chair.  Michael thought it would be a fun surprise for everyone, including Lauren, if he bought him a plane ticket and flew him home for the weekend.  Christopher is currently living in Texas for a 6 week internship, while his lovely wife holds down her job, and takes care of their unborn baby in New Orleans.

We had a great weekend.  Wish it had been longer, but what an awesome husband I have,

And family too! Only Travis was missing for the photo.  I have more pictures of the next day,with him, but Christina and Danny are absent from those.  But hey, 12 of us....err...13 are together.

Truthfully,
Joanne
