1st Overnight without Madelyn & Labor Day Weekend

Madelyn went to my parent’s house on Friday 9/2. Ryan & I had our 1st overnight without Madelyn. I definitely had mixed emotions……always love date night but we missed our little munchkin so much!

We went to Manny’s (steakhouse in downtown Minneapolis) for dinner. Ryan got a gift card from work for being the closest to guess the date of their first sale. Super exciting for two reasons…..we got to have an absolutely delicious meal for free on our date night and it’s a huge step for Interrad (Ryan’s company)!

I got 9.5 hours of sleep that night! It was amazing and so refreshing although it wasn’t the same without Madelyn’s smiles & stories (she talks/jabbers all the time) in the morning.

We picked her up on our way to Iowa. Ryan has one of his Fantasy Football Drafts every year over Labor Day weekend. It was fun to see Grandpa Kenny & Grandma Emily! Grandpa Kenny made a marble machine and Madelyn is absolutely fascinated by it. She just stares at it as the marbles drop and move all over the place. It’s loud and there is lots of movement…..Madelyn’s ideal world!

We went out for pizza on Saturday night and then went to church on Sunday. Grandma Emily loved sharing Madelyn with all her friends!
