A Weekend in Kentucky

This past weekend we went to a wedding in Kentucky. One of Spencer's medical school friends was the groom, so we were able to spend time with a few of his buddies. It has been almost a year since we've seen everyone and we miss them all SO much. It was so great to spend some time with them and do some catching up!

My parents stayed with Ella Ann at the hotel all weekend and took care of her. My Aunt Betty stopped by to meet Ella Ann, as did my two friends, Laura and Katie. They were all so excited to meet her and it was wonderful to be able to introduce Ella Ann to them. We really miss out on being near our family and friends, especially with a baby. They don't get to see her much, so I load them down with pictures via email all the time! I really, really enjoyed going to dinner with Spencer, Katie, Laura, her fiance and his son. We had such a fun time catching up and since Katie and Laura are engaged I loved hearing about wedding plans and seeing their beautiful rings!

It was a very quick trip, but it was worth every long mile on the road to see everyone, including my parents. Ella Ann was quite a trooper and hung in there and smiled the entire time, even though naps were missed! We were thrilled she was sooooo good with all the new faces! We even took her to the wedding reception for about 30 minutes and she loved the music and being outside. She wore a beautiful dress my Mom bought her and her monogrammed bloomers from her Aunt Mandy. She looked adorable, as you can see from the picture!

Thanks again to my parents for babysitting and sending us home with a truck load of food, diapers and formula!!!

Katie, It does look like you all had fun--I am glad you got to go and see friends and family.

Glad the wedding was nice and that your parents were able to help you out with EA. Hope to see you all again soon!

P.S. Iv'e gotta go get some sunglasses for MK--EA was just TOO cute with them on last week at the park.
