Summer of weddings has begun!

Auntie Alyse & Finley @ Jessie & Jay's wedding...Gran and Finley touring the Lincoln museum exhibits...
Congratulations Jessie & Jay!!! Your wedding was beautiful and so much fun! We are so happy for you!!
Well, our crazy summer has officially kicked off. Last weekend we road tripped (Finley did awesome!!) to Springfield, IL for my cousin Jessie's wedding to Jay. It was SO much fun. Bride and groom were madly in love and looked gorgeous. Location couldn't have been cooler - the reception was at the Abraham Lincoln Museum, and we got to go through the exhibits. Lots of family was there, so Finley got to meet even more of her great-aunts and uncles, and see cousins, and second cousins, and second cousins once removed, etc, etc. It would have been a lot harder to leave, but luckily we'll be seeing everyone again next month at the Family Reunion. Can't wait! On top of that, we have Carl and Shannon's wedding in NC (Finley's first flight!), and Heidi and Eric's wedding up north to look forward to! In the midst of that, we'll try to spend time relaxing, hanging out with friends, and celebrating all these brides to be! Speaking of which - Finley, Taylor and I are looking forward to seeing Carl & Shannon this weekend - they are in town for a wedding and shower! We are being spoiled rotten this year, getting to see lots and lots of our family from out of town. I know we won't be so lucky every year, so we are basking in it and soaking up every moment we get to spend with our loved ones! Hmm...what else? Finley is amazing. She just started playing in her Baby Einstein recently - and she LOVES it! Has so much fun. She is almost sitting up on her own (she can, but you never know when she'll lean too far one way or the other and topple over!) Before we know it, she'll be walking and talking (I should qualify "talking" to mean speaking in a language we recognize and understand!) She is teething, and we've started to give her rice cereal once or twice a week. We'll be making that a more regular occurance soon I think. She has lots of fun eating and gets better at it every time! That is all for now - enjoy the pictures!!
