A Year of Dates: June.

We had quite the busy weekend - and part of that weekend included your Dad and I going on our date for the month of June on Saturday. We started our date with lunch at Schnitz's Deli - one of your dad's absolute favorite places to eat! They do have some amazing (and huge!) sandwiches, here is your dad with his pick - The Big John:

After our sandwiches (and a brownie, of course) we headed out to do our big baby shopping trip. We went to Babies'R'Us, Target, and Buy Buy Baby to pick up all of the items that we still needed before you arrive... at least I hope we got everything! We had quite a few coupons, so that was a big help and it felt really good to get all of that stuff crossed off my list.

When we got home from shopping, we spent most of the afternoon getting things out of packages and cutting tags off of clothes and toys... and let me tell you - baby stuff is some of the most over-packaged stuff on the face of the earth! We must have cut off about a million little plastic tags... 

Then in the afternoon, we continued the rest of our date out of the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball game :) We both got lots of good food and treats - what trip to a baseball game would be complete without a hot dog, soft pretzel, french fries, elephant ear, ice cream and beer (for your dad!) ?!?! YUM!

It was a good game and we enjoyed ourselves - even though the home team lost :( After the game we stuck around for a while and watched the fireworks show! 

We had a lovely summer date, great weather, great food and great time spent together :)

All my love, Mom
