Well, not ever (mom, you can put down the phone). Just pre-baby. On June 8, we traveled back to Kansas City for one more little rendevous out there without a baby. It was a long weekend and was so nice to see family and friends... and we even had a baby shower to boot! Oh yeah, and warm weather. So awesome.
After we flew in Friday night, we headed straight to the golf course. Remember when I mentioned that my husband has gotten slightly involved (obsessed) with golf? Yeah. So, of course when he realized that he had new clubs and we were going to Kansas City it became a question of how to get the clubs OUT there. Well, they got out there (both his and mine) so our first night back, we went to the golf course to try them out. It was the first either of us had hit with our new clubs and I have to say, they were pretty amazing.
New clubs that made the trek all the way from Washington to get tested.
Happy boy.
And Justin getting a lesson from my pops.
A picture or yours truly at 7ish months pregnant hitting balls. It actually worked out pretty well. I hit awesome- not sure if it was the new clubs or the baby weight but I was pretty excited.
One more. Love the stance of my dad in the background. Not really sure if he is admiring his shot or hating it. And I'll cease the commentary now and just post a few more pictures of golf that night:
The next day for some reason we woke up at the ass crack... like 3:30am Seattle time. It was insanity. But, we got a lot of work done in the morning, then I went on a walk, then we hit more balls and spent the afternoon relaxing before my brother and his girlfriend came over for dinner. At which point we ate and our heads were trying not to hit the table at about 7:30pm.
On Sunday, it was our first baby shower. The boys went golfing and I stayed and open baby presents. We had a pretty great group of ladies there- mostly family and family friends that I have known forever or that are great friends with my mom. It was pretty cool.
A picture of Justin and I before he left to golf. Terrible shot of me and freaky eyes on him but we'll just ignore those things.
Cute cake made by one of my mom's good friends...
And adorable little lion cookies.
A shot of the table with pretty flowers too that Justin and I had picked out the day before.
And a picture of the loot. We got a TON of stuff. It blew me away how generous people were. We ended up shipping some of the big things back but surprisingly a lot of it fit in (though Justin found some bibs in his golf bag when golfing after we returned...cute). At this point the pictures stopped since I was busy opening presents... I think someone was taking pictures but I don't have copies of them yet. That evening we had a BBQ with all of the family that was still in town.
The next day we spent the day shopping with my cousin and her husband and my mom and the following day we did a bit more shopping and then had a late evening back to Seattle. All in all it was a very successful, relaxing, and much needed trip back home. Next time we'll be back- but with a munchkin (could be exciting)!
