the visit that would never end...

andie and my mom came to visit us a few weeks ago and while my mom only had to deal with the hottest and most humid weekend of the year (i'm not kidding--all of the plants that we bought died within 5 hours of being outside) andie had to be witness to the craziest storm we've experienced here. but before all of that drams, we had some fun times.

my mom loved shopping day. we even went to a coldwater creek to keep her in a yesful mood. however, she hated milwaukee's anthro. and i do to, especially after the 2010 knob fiasco.

mom basically flew in, took us out to eat, got us some housewarming goodies and took off. leaving andie with us for another week.

we took her to eat a lot and watch a lot of shows, some super lame (leap year... wtf?) and some great (inception... i swear we saw this opening day, i'm not jumping on the bandwagon facebookers!)

2nd fav pic of the trip. you have no idea how awkward it was to get this shot.

she ordered an appeteaser taller than her, i think they should have given her a sombrero to wear because she is probably the only person to ever have ordered this. andie vs. food.

pizzeria piccola. it's like pizzeria 712 only good. and less annoying.

1st favorite pic of the trip. every time i see this picture i die.

then there was storm and the city water backed up into our basement causing a few thousand dollars worth of damage and lost property and ruined andie and david's thursday.

we took andie to cheesecake for her farewell dinner because it was pouring rain and we wouldn't be able to make it downtown with all of the roads being flooded. we also got some of the most uncomfortable pedi's of our lives during the storm. yikes.

then my mom told us andie's flight was on one day, when it definitely wasn't. so dinner was on her. we love takara--at least this time no one was complaining about bones in their filets.

so we had andie check in at the airport and check her bags, then we took her back with us for some fun because her flight was delayed a few hours. we finally dropped her off at 11 and around 2am she was on her way. a few hours later my new niece was born and she's adorable and we love her. and she sleeps a lot.
