Weddings!

Harper and I were in our first wedding this last weekend!  (Well, I was in my cousins when I was just eleven, and of course three wonderful years ago I was in my own!)  My college roommate got married last evening and Harper was one of three ring bears and I was a bridesmaid!  Gus, bless his heart, was on baby patrol the whole weekend and is now exhausted, lounging around watching Sunday Football on t.v.

He almost made it up the whole aisle (There was even a turn in it!  It was L-shaped.)  His partner who was quite a few years older than him, held his hand until he fell.  He proceeded to pull him, and Harper looked at him like he was crazy.  I tried to get his attention from the front, but there were too many distractions between the two of us for him to notice.  Gus flew in to the rescue and stood with him outside the venue until the ceremony was over.

The reception came fully equipped with hummus and pita (one of Harper's favorite snacks these days) and he loved standing and walking around the dance floor.  He seemed to love being dressed up and strutting all over.  We spent dinner chasing him around and listening to him laugh his sweet little head off, and around 8 or 830 he seemed spent.  Gus took him for a quick drive and they spent the next two hours snoozing in the car while I was inside enjoying the party.  I brought Gus lemonade, and checked on them and we decided to just drive home last night from Portland instead of staying another night.  We are happy to be back home playing on our deck...even if we do have winter hats on!  At least it's not raining!!

 The gorgeous bride!

 He's pretty adorable.
 Lots to look at!
 He spent the whole time on the dance floor with the other kids...mostly watching them...
 He and the flower girl.
 Strutting his stuff!
 Aww....
 They were all taking a picture and thought Harper might want to join...
 This older boy held him down...he got nervous and tried to run towards me!
 He's not so sure who's taking charge of him...
 We stole him away from the dance floor for a quick picture, and he wasn't too excited about it!
 Gus looks pretty tired!
 Excited about something!
 "Mom, I'm trying to dance here!"
 Mmmmm, hummus...
Kristi and I...What a fun day!



And here's a little video of Harper and what he spent the whole reception doing!
