Michelle's wedding weekend extravaganza

I am so happy I was able to go to D.C. for Michelle and Winship's wedding. The weekend was full of events, I don't think we ever stopped! When Ashlee and I got there Wednesday night we went out to dinner then Michelle and Winship took us around to tour the sites. It was amazing to see how beautiful they were especially at night!

Jefferson Memorial

Lincoln Memorial (I'm not really sure why Lincoln is looking so yellow in this picture)

{Thursday}

Michelle, Ashlee and I spent thursday morning/afternoon at Winship's parents getting things set up for the reception. As soon as we were done we went to the airport to pick up Sara and Susan then were off to the Swad's house for dinner and to package up the favors for the wedding. Michelle and MaryBeth made white chocolate cinnamon sugar caramel apples that were AMAZING!!! She used these as the favor/place card for the wedding dinner. Such a cute idea! As soon as we finished MaryBeth had a great dinner with a bunch of Michelle & Winship's family and friends. After dinner the Swad boys tried to teach all of us how to "dougie". I thought we had some of the moves down they on the other hand were laughing and filming us on their phones. I guess we just weren't "hip" enough for them!

I love the look on Winship's face as he watched Michelle walk down the aisle

and the look on hers...

Since I didn't take very many pictures at the wedding I used some from Michelle's photographer. The reception was BEAUTIFUL and she didn't miss a detail! The entire night was a blast especially the dancing!

Congratulations again to Michelle and Winship!!!! Thanks for letting me be part of your wedding day (and for letting us take Michelle all weekend before)!

"Bum's" 2nd birthday

For "Bum's" (this is what Addison called Graham) 2nd birthday Sara and I took Graham, George & Addison to discovery gateway.

It's so funny the height difference in these two!

up...

a little higher....

And all the way! He was so proud of himself!

Cute little Georgie!

We ran into Keegan and Brock while we were there. They are two of the cute kids I nannied when I was pregnant with Addison. It's crazy how much they have grown up!

That next weekend Sara threw Graham a Clifford party. It turned out SO cute! All the kids had a blast! Of course I forgot to take pictures until the very end so I borrowed some from Sara!

Home sweet home

It was so nice to get home after being gone all summer. Addison and I came home the end of August while Brando stayed in Texas most of September to finish up work. We had all kinds of appointments and things to catch up on. Addison had her 18 month appointment and here is where she was at:

Weight: 24 pounds 31st percentile

Height: 32 inches 32nd percentile

We were so excited to see Bella after being away from her all summer

Addison LOVES getting into my closet and trying on shoes. I think she's going to have a serious shoe problem the older she gets!

{Michelle's bridal shower}

Ashlee threw an amazing shower for Michelle at the Grand America. We had a great dinner and plenty of laughs about all our funny times in high school/college. I love all these girls so much and am so lucky to have such a good group of friends! We missed all the girls that weren't able to come! This was the only picture I got that wasn't completely blurry!
