A Weekend at Notre Dame, Baptism, and Giant Floppy Hat

Oh, the University of Notre Dame, it’s the place people love to love or seriously hate. We all know “those people” who can’t stop talking about the Irish or their football, and we recognize them as the ones who sport Notre Dame gear, endlessly discuss coaching flaws or Brian Kelly and have schedules tentative throughout the fall months. But we still love them, right?!

Let me introduce you to “those people” otherwise known as my in-laws and Notre Dame die-hards Ryan, Amy, and Molly (the future of Notre Dame, she just doesn’t quite understand what that means yet).

This is Molly Amelia, the reason for the gathering this past weekend at Notre Dame and oh so stylish baby who happens to already have her own fashion blog known as Baby Chic. Okay, so not really, but I am petitioning for the name.

She met God this weekend, what did you do?

Yea, Jesus thinks that’s a touchdown!

Since our family pretty much plans everything around food it was only natural that a chocolate tour was involved in this trip.

Between the abnormal amounts of chocolate and coffee I consumed in three days, it would not be a stretch to say that I conquered the cocoa tree.

Meet Caitlin, my other Notre Dame friend. Even though she’s new to the scene of all that Notre Dame offers (which only means we didn’t have a football discussion… yet) that didn’t stop her from helping us find what is quite possibly the largest pancake I’ve ever seen! There’s an apple inside of that.

The start to a perfect Sunday…

I think Jeni (my sister-in-law) summed up the weekend!
