Weekend Madness

This weekend was crazy to say the least. It started early Friday morning when Maria began to not feel very well. She had tossed and turned all night complaining that her entire body was achy. I suggested that she take a shower and she did. While in the shower she blacked out again and fell. I helped her up and back into the bed where she laid most the morning. I called in to work to stay home and play doctor daddy for both Maria and Davis (who was not feeling well either).

That night some friends came over with dinner (they are so good to us) because they knew that Maria was not feeling well. Having eight extra hands in the house I put them to work. I am so grateful for all of them and for their willingness to help. We worked until late into the night and got quite a bit done on our basement.

Saturday we busily prepared the house and food for our Davis and Dinner party. It was a lot of work and when five o'clock came around Maria and I were exhausted. We had about 30 people come (19 less than RSVPed) and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Sunday we had the baby blessing and had lots of family at the church to share that moment with us. After church we returned home and had leftovers from the night before and got changed our clothes for a family portrait and dinner at Maria's aunts house. We had Navajo Tacos and a big side of family drama!

We had a great time but I am so glad for this weekend to be over.

Oh wow is Maria and Davis doing better. I knew you had a lot of things going on for the weekend without adding the not feeling well twosome. Aren't friends wonderful especially when they just fill in at just the right time!! I know that feeling because I have some really awesome friends that would do the same. I am glad that most still showed for the Davis and Dinner since you already had planned for it. And I will patiently be waiting for pictures from any of the events that took place over the weekend. Not sure if it is appropriate or if you were even able to do it but did you get any of church blessing? I would love to see them if you were able to get some. Please send my love and hugs to Maria and Davis and let them know I hope they are feeling better soon. Love ya

Ya it was fun, I didn't know you were not feeling good you hide it well. I hope at least some of those pitchers turned out OK so that you can use them. I was a little nervous about taking them since you don't have any other family pitchers.

What a beautiful family picture! Everyone looks great, it's so good to see you all together. I'm sorry Maria has been sick - it's so much harder to be sick when you have a baby to look after! Hope all is back to normal soon!

You all look darling! What a fun family picture! I also did not know that Maria was not feeling well. I live pretty close and am willing to help any time! Also, the food was great and we loved it! Thanks for having us over!

These pictures were SO cute and Maria you look SO good. The other night (Friday) when we were there, Lyle noticed that you were looking good, but since you were not feeling well, he didn't want to say it so you didn't think he was weird..."you look good even though you look sick"...he didn't want it to come across like that. But he really thinks you are looking great! I do too! We are sorry we missed your dinner and the blessing. We will make it up to you guys! :)
You guys much have friends that really like you for them to make you dinner AND work on the basment floor! :)How do you pick them?! :)
We love you guys!
