Doug has been working at the same place since we graduated from college. Until about three weeks ago, he has worked on Sundays that entire time (almost 4 years)...which sucked. He is finally on a regular Monday through Friday shift. He has also always had to work Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, as well as the other random holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July. But that's also over!
Friday:
On Friday, we went over to my brother and sister-in-laws for dinner. My parents were in town- so it was a lovely evening with the family. After dinner, we headed out for a few beers with our friend Carly, who will soon be leaving us for a new job. Needless to say, we've been soaking up our last few weeks with her as much as we can!
Saturday:
Most of my Saturday was spent at my brother and sister-in-laws house (seeing a trend here?). Niece #2 is due June 8, though we're all expecting her to come early. There was a lot to prepare around the house, as well as gardening. Which Caroline was happy to help with.

Helping Grandma plant flowers. Someone needs her bangs trimmed! |
Dinner, s'mores, and a campfire. All perfect ways to end the day.

Two of my favorite things :) |
My cousin's daughter was getting baptized on Sunday, so we headed to the west side for the baptism and to spend a few hours with family. We all headed back to my brother and sister-in-laws for a little more work around the house, some cornhole, beers, hotdogs, s'mores...and another campfire.

Campfire #2. |
I woke up bright and early to head over to my brothers once again for the Memorial Day parade. I knew watching the parade with the little one would be hilarious, and it was. She loved chasing candy, the siren, the police dogs and of course the marching band.
