Weekend Rewind

Linking up with Tami for Weekend Rewind!

~ Friday, was spent on the couch with my puppy watching the Giants game. It was a long and crazy week, and some down time was just what I needed.

~ Saturday, my sister and I went to Team in Training kickoff! We met our team mates, got our shirts, and heard amazing stories about how TNT has changed so many lives. 

After kickoff, my sister and I did not some shopping. I found a few cute things! After some retail therapy, we went to visit my cousin's new baby. She is the most adorable little thing ever! I held her for hours and she just slept in my arms! 

Seriously - my new favorite person! 

Then we went to dinner with my grandparents. We did not see them on Mother's Day, so we had a belated Mother's Day dinner with my Nonna.

~ Sunday, Marco came home!!!!!!!!!!! He has been gone for the past two weeks in Dubai/Africa. His family went on an African safari, and before the safari spent a few days exploring Dubai. He had an amazing time, but Homie and I are very happy he is back home!!! :)

Presents from Africa. How cute are those giraffe salad tongs. Thanks, Babe! 

Hope you all had a great weekend!
