Gordon's younger brother, James, got married in March. It was a beautiful wedding! The spring weather and colors were gorgeous. We have had amazing weather this year, with rain! I have to say, when you have young kids, going to a sealing, taking pictures, helping to set up, taking part in the program, having a family lunch, and then attending an evening reception makes for a very long day! Weston and Lily had no real naps, or lunchtimes for that matter, and for much of the time, it wasn't pretty. James and Alyssa asked me to sing at their ring ceremony, and right beforehand, Weston threw a tantrum, slammed his head into the back of a table, and Gordon had to rush him out, kicking and screaming. Not to mention, Lily was starving (unfortunately she does not take a bottle, even after her surgery), and so I also had to rush out after singing to feed her, and we ended up missing the whole ceremony. Things definitely change when you have kids--I can definitely feel the jump from one to two--maybe that's just because I've been so busy with preschool, and the fact that Lily is not so independent right now. I look forward to the day when someone besides me can feed her!
This is Lily and her twin cousin, Summer! I think Lily will even have the same red hair. When Lily was born, that was one of the first things that crossed my mind--she looks exactly like her cousin Summer! During the week of the wedding, Summer stayed with us so she could take care of Lily, which was a huge help. She never put Lily down--if someone else wanted to hold her, Summer was sure to be back for her!
All of the younger girls had dresses made, and Lily was seriously the little belle of the ball! People were coming up to us all night, wanting to meet her in her pretty, little dress. If you're wondering why there are no pictures of Weston, well, it was just too exhausting getting him to stay still. He did look handsome in his striped tie!
