Baby Shower
This post is belated, but we've been a bit busy getting everything ready for the arrival of baby Loo! I took a quick trip back to Michigan for a number of celebrations. Gwen and Sarah threw a lovely baby shower with the fitting "Fruit of the Loomis" theme. It was very refreshing for me to be surrounded by family and close friends and share in the joy and anticipation.
My parents also put together a brunch, so I could see my grandparents and cousin Mandy. Even though our babies may not meet for some time, at least they were introduced via baby bump.
We also celebrated Mother's Day, Father's Day, Dad's birthday and Mom's birthday. Marcus and Sarah came up from Chicago for the weekend, and it was nice to spend time with them.
The last event of the jam-packed weekend was a shower for Sheri Camp. It was great to see the Hope girls and have a chance to catch up.
Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so much fun!

NYC
For Memorial Day weekend Becky and I went to New York City / New Jersey for a fun weekend and to visit some good friends. We joked that this was going to be the last fun weekend of our lives, eluding to the fact that we are about to add a child to our family. When I shared this joke with a friend (who is a parent) he said, "Oh, it's not the rest of your life...just the next 18 years!" Anyway, we are of course incredibly excited to be parents soon, but are trying to take advantage of the freedom we still have! Plus Becky had never been to NYC so figured this was the perfect time.
We spent the weekend with my close high school friend Tim, and his girlfriend Kira. We also spent a lot of time with Phil and Becky, who are friends from Hope who now live in a beautiful town in New Jersey.
Here is the whole crew on the Ellis Island ferry. We were thankful that there we no crashes.
Statue of Liberty, in case you couldn't tell what we are posing in front of.
Thought this was cool.
Had a particular Jay-Z song stuck in my head all day...
Central park.
I just thought Tim looked awesome while carrying Kira's bag for her. I had rocked my man-bag all day as well so it was nice to have someone else join in.
We covered a lot of ground in our one day in the city, which I am sure was no minor accomplishment for someone who is 33 weeks pregnant. After spending a beautiful day in the city, we both went to Phil and Becky's house and went to their church the next day. We had such a nice time at their place, but unfortunately didn't take any pictures. It is very cool being so close to such a fun citiy and friends that we didn't get to see very often before we moved here.
