Uptown Funk

Our weekend went from mundane to busy on Friday – Jamie got some free tickets to the U of M game on Saturday, and then won tickets for the Bruno Mars concert for Sunday!  It was a weekend of fun!

I like the idea of taking the girls to the Big House for a game each year… Evie is still not impressed.  Maggie had a good time, enjoyed watching the dance team more than anything else.  It was brutally hot, and we were all red-faced and sweaty within 5 minutes.  Between the girls overheating and my sore ankle and interior baby, we decided that leaving at half-time was probably for the best.  Afterward we went to one of my favorite places in Ann Arbor – the Original Cottage Inn (not to be confused with the quick-service pizza shop!).  So many memories walking around… I need to visit campus more often!

I like these colors on my family

Sunday we went with Amy and her friend Jess to see Bruno Mars.  None of us are huge fans, but free tickets in a fancy suite?  Yes please!  It was my first visit to Little Caesars Arena, and now that I’m spoiled by being in a sweet suite, I think normal tickets will be a letdown!  Really nice stadium though, it was fun to check everything out!

Party time!

The lighting effects were the best part

Grandma watched baby V and the girls at our house during the show, and I was happy to visit with V for a little while – haven’t seen her since she was born!

Maggie couldn't wait to get her hands on Violet!

Evie has a bit to learn about compassion and
baby-holding in general
