We were thankful for a lovely, but very short ceremony. We managed to keep the kids entertained and reasonably quiet throughout it. The folks who sit in that pew at church tomorrow may be wondering what's up with all the cracker crumbs, though. Sorry!
After the ceremony, the very nice lady who played the harp gave J a little lesson. He was fascinated. "It's just like Quincy and the Magic Instruments," he told her. Judging from the confused look on her face, we're guessing she's not a big fan of The Little Einsteins
It was a little strange to see Becky getting married. She's quite a bit younger than me, and I haven't seen her as much as many of my other cousins. I still think of her as a little girl. The last time I had seen her before today was at another cousin, Jenny's high school graduation open house. Jenny is now a PhD candidate. I guess it's been a while.
We stayed out quite a bit later than our kids are used to. It was a special occasion and all, so we decided to "go crazy" and stay until 7:30pm. (Yeah, our children go to bed pretty early.) An amazing thing happened on the way home. J fell asleep in his car seat! (Despite the sugar rush he should have been having from all the Hershey kisses my Dad fed him.)And even more amazing - I was able to get him into bed without completely waking him up when we got home! I've heard of other children doing such things, but it has nothing like it has EVER happened in our experience! I'm expecting him to wake up any second now and freak out that he's been sleeping in his clothes. He's a big fan of PJ's.Congratulations, Becky and Brian. Thanks for having us at your party!

I had a great time with you all! Weddings can be such fun...but I'm a girl, so I suppose I'm biased.
