The Coons Visit

I am so bad. I've had these pictures uploaded for a post for nearly a month now!! While Jay was home Julie, Michael & Finley came to visit. We had such a great time - all squished into a few days!

Jay quickly took Finley duty. They became good friends.
We learned a very important lesson. Do not mention one of Finley's favorite foods unless it's in front of him. We said "Macaroni & Cheese" just once & didn't hear the end of it for about an hour until we made it to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. As you can see, he was thrilled to finally get what we promised him. 
Me & Julie! I have missed my "Lovah" so much!
The men:
The boys (see, I told you they became best friends): 
On Friday afternoon, Julie & I had "girls day". We started off with lunch at Arcadia Farms on the patio - what a perfect day to be outside! Then, we headed to the mall for a bit. We ended up doing some serious  walking & a little shopping! I got Edward his first outfit - this cute ensemble from H&M and the aviators from Baby Gap. I just love it!
Then we headed across the street to Sprinkles Cupcakes for dessert. And water. Can I tell you that I was sooo thirsty I thought I was going to die? I was. And that bottle of water couldn't have come faster. I love how the detail on the window behind us looks like a heart :) 
And the cupcakes? Delicious. The one on the left is Lemon Coconut & on the right was Irish Chocolate. Both were delicious but we decided the Lemon was the best. 
After Sprinkles, we headed to Dolce for a manicures & massages. Divine. We were spoiled. So spoiled that we decided to continue the awesome day by meeting up with the boys for In-n-Out. It was here that Finley discovered his love for ketchup.
On Saturday, we headed to Hohokam Stadium to see the Cubs play a spring training game. The weather was perfect for being outside (though a little warm) and we had a great time! I love this family picture: 
Jay helped make sure Fin didn't get sunburned. He's going to be such a great daddy!
We were so glad to have such a great visit with friends from back east. And I think they were happy to be able to come here & thaw out a little bit!
Well, there you go folks. Better late than never! Until next time!
