The Luttenton Family (Tennessee): Late Summer Michigan visit

First, I know I haven't posted in awhile...so we have a bit of catching up to do. At the beginning of August Dalby and I drove back to Michigan for a visit. We did a lot in the week and a half we were in Grosse Pointe. When we arrived we had about an hour before we headed out to an outdoor concert. The band playing was a Jimmy Buffet cover band that is very popular in Grosse Pointe. The concert was held at a place called the Grosse Pointe War Memorial, an old estate donated for community and private events. It happens to be were Ryan and I had our reception and it was the first time I had been back to see the War Memorial since our wedding. It is within walking distance of our house and because of the parking situation we packed Dalby up in the wagon(my dad had completely refinished)and headed to the event. It is a wonderful family concert where people pack picnic dinners, wine and their children and just relax. Dalby had a blast dancing and socializing with all of the family friends. She especially enjoyed two family friends who shared A LOT of M&Ms with her:) The trick was she had to tell them the color of the M&M to eat it. Well for those of you that don't know, everything is pink for Dalby. So the ladies got the biggest laugh out of her, which I think helped her get even more M&Ms. It was a perfect night for a little girl who had sat for 10 hours in a car seat.

Over the weekend Ryan flew in and I went out with the girls to celebrate a friend who is getting married in a week. The next day was a wedding shower and then Ryan flew out for the next week of work. A very quick weekend. However the following weekend Ryan and I got to go out with some friends to a Tigers game. What a fun treat!
