WHEW! That's all I can say. Normally DB and I have a rather typical flow of life, sometimes wishing we had more fun and less of the mundane. Well not so this past weekend, nosiree! We did not plan these events they we beyond our control so we made the best of it.
On Saturday morning BB had a lacrosse game. We were on the the field at 9:00 til 11:15 when we had to leave to get ready for a wedding. The groom is the son of my former employer. I will never be able to express in words how much this family means to me. They are all just such special, joyful, faith-filled people. We are incredibly blessed to call them dear friends. So it was doubly joyful (or more) to share in their son's wedding day. I'd like to say that LL enjoyed herself too but...she was exhausted as she had no (would not) nap. It was a 1:00 wedding. If you have parented a toddler then you know this is the witching hour with no sleep. She was SO noisy in the church that she and I had to leave and go outside! Good thing DB had the camera because his shots are basically all I saw of the wedding. Trying to keep my patience [and sense of humor] we went on to the reception. Well, didn't she decide to fall sleep on me during dinner. While I was relieved, as she wore herself and me out, I was sad that she missed the meal and the fun times had by all. Overall though, it was a wonderful time with many happy memories we'll treasure forever. Then if that wasn't enough excitement, BW had his first opportunity to produce the sound and lights for a ballet. Yes, we are very proud of him. We could not be there but the report was that all went well and they were pleased with his work. Oh! And did I mention we also had plans to meet with our friends for a 7:00 dinner? And then it was onto hear our son's guitar/drum teacher perform at a local pub. WHEW! Exhausting YES, but fun too. Now if we could just have spread ALL that out over two or three weekends...
