Paul & Meredith's Wedding

My little brother, Paul married a great girl, Meredith on August 29. What a happy couple! They were one of the happiest and in love couples I have seen on their wedding day. It was so fun that we all got to be a part of it. I was a bridesmaid, Boyd was a groomsman, and Walt was the ring bearer. Emmie did get to come party at the reception for a little while. Walt did a good job being the ring bearer. He made it all the way down the aisle, stood up on stage for a moment, then picked his nose the whole way down the stage and into Nanna's lap! So funny and cute! We wish Uncle Paul and Aunt Meredith all the best!

Walt has said some pretty funny things associated with their wedding. He kept saying he was going to marry Paul before the wedding. Then when we went to Columbia last weekend and took them their wedding present, Walt asked if we could take it to Uncle Paul's house so he could see his Christmas tree with all the wedding presents! And, last night as I was putting Walt to bed he asked, "Mommy, does Uncle Paul live on a honeymoon?" By the looks of how happy Paul and Meredith are, I'd say they are living a honeymoon life.The rehearsal dinner at McCrady's

Throw me up in the air Uncle Paul!

Emmie's Baptism

Emmie was baptized on July 26, 2009. My grandfather that married Boyd and me and baptized Walt was there to baptize Emmie. And we were able to use the my grandmother's father's baptismal bowl in the service. All of these traditions topped with over 30 of our family members there made it such a special day. Since Emmie was 18 months getting baptized, she was not too keen on the idea of our preacher carrying her down the aisle as she was introduced to the church. He handled it so well, and just said the three of us will take a little walk. He also pointed out to the congregation that the front left half of the church was Emmie's family. After church, we had our family back to our house for brunch. It is so wonderful to be close to family again and to share such special moments in our lives with them.

Walt was just doing a little preachin' after the service.

Tiny Dancers at the Beach

About a year ago I made my first post about my Tiny Dancers. Walt and Emmie are still my Tiny Dancers. As they get bigger their dancing just gets better. While at the beach one evening we did glow sticks and then Walt provided the music while he, Emmie, and Addison danced. Emmie started out with a very fast dance, but the following video captures the best part. This was a part of our dance practice for the upcoming weddings.
