Here are some more wedding photos. Hehe, I don't think I have any close-ups of Care Bear from that day yet! Hmmm...
We had some good storms yesterday, finally. She was pretty perplexed when the lights went out, three times, but is a very good sport & enjoyed listening to the rain and watching the water run down the street. Thunder doesn't even faze her. Her baby pool and all her pool toys were REALLY full of water today, so we played in there before lunch. Shoes included. =/ Oh well.
My OB/GYN was in a huge rush today, but seemed pleased again. I'm up to 130.5 pounds w/ good blood pressure and he easily found Little Kicker's heartbeat, so I guess all is well. Wants to see me again in 3 weeks and I am pretty sure we'll be doing the glucose tolerance/ RH stuff for week 28... should be two weeks after next appt. =)
Things are good here. Going to grill out for dinner & then hopefully have a nice bike ride since it's so much more reasonable heat-wise! Have a fun over the hump day!

Busy weekend
We had a super busy weekend. We ran errands on Saturday. We girls stayed in the car while Dada dashed into the Post Office to mail Miss Madeleine her birthday gift (happy 2nd birthday tomorrow, Maddy!) and into Ace Hardware. We went to Dunkin Donuts for a Saturday treat- a box of Munchkins. We had naps and then went to Red Lobster in La Salle Peru for dinner before heading to Target. That's where we got Mama's new bike and a seat for Care Bear so she can ride w/ Dada.
Then yesterday was church, lunch at China Inn, naps, and then lots of cleaning. Dada installed two decorative shelves in our bedroom & then attached her bike seat. Then we were off on Care Bear's first bike ride! Here are pictures from the weekend, and I have more of Andrew's wedding that I plan to get up in the next day or so. Have a super week!

Yard fanatics
We didn't figure anyone would believe us unless we had pictures as proof, but yes, we've been out raking leaves this week. It's so dry out here that our poor tree has given up and decided it's Fall. We've done 5 yard bags, I think. The good news is that we're getting it done now while I can still bend a little and while they're dry and fluffy as opposed to months from now when they're icky and heavy and I'm uncomfortable. Plus, it gave Scott some quality get-Carrie-ready- for-bed time while I got a break from her =D So here's Care Bear, playing in the leaves in JULY. Wonder if we'll have snow in September ;) Now WE look like the yard fanatics! =/

Squirt's finally married ;)
Sorry that this is hard to see... trying to use Megan's colors from the wedding. This is as close to yellow that'll be visible that I can get! =)
At the behest of our Western relatives who couldn't make it to the wedding, here are some pictures to get you started. I apparently didn't take any at the rehearsal or the rehearsal dinner, and I hate flashing the camera during the actual ceremony. So here's from "I now present the new Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cunningham" on =D Enjoy!
