That's how we roll

On Thursday night,  Robb rented a UHaul and Matthew, Maddy, Robb and I got it and two other cars loaded to the rafters with their furniture, gifts and other belongings.  Enjoyed some Portillos Italian beef sandwiches for supper that Robb's brother had brought us from Chicago.YUMMMM...  I think I know what I'm having for lunch today...

Then I headed for the airport.  Meri's plane was an hour late, but we were glad she even MADE that flight in Chicago.  Her previous flight from Florida was delayed also so it was touch and go to see if they'd get on the connecting one.  So at 10:20 something, Meri's plane finally landed and all the parents waited patiently until the kids started coming down the escalator.  

Whew!  THERE she was!!!!

She has some great stories to tell about her trip, but the one that cracks us up the most, I can't talk about.  Let's just say "BEAUTIFUL!!!!" in an Italian accent, shall we?

Bright and early the next morning, we headed off to move Maddy and Matthew to Wisconsin.   Meri couldn't come along so we left her in charge of the dogs.  Several members of their new church arrived and helped move all their things up the stairs to their new apartment.  

Maddy planted me in the kitchen and said, UNPACK!  So that was my job.  This is their kitchen after we'd attempted to sift 100+ wedding gifts into it.  They've arranged and rearranged the furniture and will probably continue to do so until they hit on the right arrangement.  

They made lists of things to pick up on their next jaunt out.  

What a great apartment and what a great couple!

 AND they're within a mile of this...  SUCH a beautiful place.  They're going to love it here and we're going to consider every trip there our vacation.  We found all the stores they'll need and do you know there is a pub on every corner in Wisconsin?  It's TRUE!  And I thought they were famous for just cheese...

 The next morning we showed up at 6am, as Maddy had instructed us and woke them up. Made a quick breakfast and we all hit the road again.  Matthew off to a wedding in Minnesota for one of his best friends growing up and Robb, Maddy and I off to a wedding of a niece near Minneapolis.  The ceremony times were different and it just made sense to drive separately.  We did stop to get photos of the lake. AND an old school selfie before leaving town.

The next morning, we took Maddy to Matthew's parents town for church and a quick lunch before they headed off with more loads of Matthew's things to Wisconsin and us to home.  It was so good to get home and nap...  It's rare we do that.

But that was Robb's Father's Day celebration.  

Happy Father's Day (a day late) to the man who is the best part of our family and home.  I love you.

I wonder what crazy things we'll dream up to do THIS week...
