Our weekend!!

We had a very fun and busy weekend at the coast!! My cousin Kirsten got married on Saturday and it was such a beautiful wedding. I was so blessed to be a part of their special day. The ceremony was so honoring to God and to Malcolm and Kirsten. Kirsten was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen...she was stunning!! We love you both and pray that God will bless your marriage always.Meggie all ready to watch aunty Kirsten come down the aisle!

The reception was at another church and it was also great! We were able to leave the girls with Rob and Leanne and we only took Marty along. It was such a treat to not have to entertain the girls and just be able to enjoy the reception. I was excited to see my brother and to introduce him to our little Marty! Marty was great during the whole day, he pretty much slept it away. At the reception, I got to meet a few of my blogging friends, Kelly and Kristal! It was great to finally meet them in person. I already felt like I knew them because of reading their blogs. It was really fun!!
Uncle Loren got to meet Marty for the first time!!

The trip went really well. The kids did pretty good on the trip down, Gabby got a little frustrated towards the end because she was tired of being in her carseat. I don't blame her! Marty pretty much slept the whole way, we just stopped once to feed him. Megan was happy as a clam playing her games on the laptop!Marty meeting his great-grandma for the first time!

Rob and Leanne were such great hosts to us this weekend. Leanne always had such wonderful meals for us, we were totally spoiled there! They watched the kids while we went to the rehearsal dinner and again during the wedding reception. We are so thankful for them!! We had lots of great visiting time together too. The girls had a blast playing with their kids and they already miss them.

We went to their church on Sunday morning before we headed home. The trip home was pretty good. It was snowing quite a bit, but the van does great in winter conditions. At one point, all 3 of the kids were sleeping and we enjoyed the quiet time!

Our whole family has managed to pick up a little cold:( The girls and Marty have runny noses and Jeff and I feel the cold coming on with our sore throats. I guess it's better that we all get it at once and get it over with. I took Marty to the doctor yesterday for his one month check up. I can't believe he is one month old already...I can't imagine life without him!! He weighed 10 lbs
1 oz. He is in the 75th percentile. He is still such a good eater and sleeper. Last night I fed him at 10pm and he didn't wake up until 3:40am!!! What a good boy.

We have a busy weekend coming up. We have a birthday party on Saturday morning and another birthday party on Sunday afternoon. I was invited to another birthday for some friends of mine on Saturday also, but I think it will be too much. Both of the parties are for Megan and Gabby's friends and there are going to be lots of kids!! It should be fun.

I better get going and figure out something to make for dinner!

It was great to see you guys, and see Marty. To bad Megan doesn't like me, but maybe she'll like beards someday. And I'm glad you could meet Danielle, who is now my fiance!
