Wedding

Mike's cousin Dan got married on September 8th, down in Illinois, and Mike was in the wedding, so we made the trip down the day before. We were not looking forward to the ride down with a 2 year old, but Lara did very well. I was mainly nervous out my non-stop talker during the wedding. Mike's mom had to do a reading, and his dad was an usher, so that left Mike's sister Shannon and I in charge of Lara during the wedding. On Friday afternoon Shannon and I took Lara over to her aunt's house to help with the table centerpieces. I had a good time cutting flowers, and Lara kept busy playing with Matthew's toys, so it worked out nice. Saturday was a busy day. We went to the reception hall to put out all the centerpieces, then all had to get ready. We sat in the back of the church for the wedding, and only had to leave towards the end before they did communion because Lara had to go potty. I was very relieved that she didn't have any outbursts. I think we were far enough away for her to notice daddy or Nana. : ) I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few that I did take.
