Mandie and Jeff's Wedding

In mid-October we took a trip to Lawrence to celebrate my cousin Amanda's and her new husband Jeff's marriage. For Adam it was the trip of a life time. People to talk to everywhere, Mamie and Grandpa "lived" next door for the weekend, he got to go bowling for the first time ever and be IN the wedding, plus get cake. The twins had a great time too.

All three of them were in the wedding. Adam was the ring bearer, and Colin and Claire were supposed to carry a sign announcing them. Claire opted out of a nap, firmly, and therefore was not feeling anything related to... well, anything except Mamie. But she got a pretty pink dress which she still begs me to wear daily, and we had a really great time. Colin was ready and willing to carry the sign after a good nap and lots of time with Grandpa.

These pictures are from the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner (and Adam's first time bowling), pre-wedding photographs and the reception. The ones at the end are from the professional photographer for the wedding!









Adam enjoyed bowling very much but was not so happy with not getting as many strikes as he does in Wii bowling.

Adam did so well as the ring bearer and picking up for Colin and Claire by carrying the sign out after Amanda and Jeff that I told him he could have two pieces of cake. He skipped dinner in preparation, and the wait nearly killed him... about 4 minutes before they cut the cake he couldn't help himself so he took a swipe of icing from it with his finger. Some day he will ask me why I have so many pictures of him eating cake and I'll tell him... "I've never seen anyone ENJOY it so much!"



Father-Daughter dance...

No nap and some shyness made this a difficult walk!


Thank you for letting us be a part of your big day, Amanda and Jeff! Congrats!
