My day with Lizzie
Yesterday I took Lizzie to Oak Ridge to go to my cousin Emily's wedding. It was just a day for the two of us since Andy and I thought it would be silly to take Julia just to put her in a nursery and then take her to a late reception. We went up before lunch to visit with my mom for a bit which was fun. Then we all got dolled up and headed to the church. I had talked to Lizzie that afternoon about how she would sit with us and we would have to be quiet like when we went to the ballet and like when we're at church and one of the pastors is speaking. I took her out to the bathroom right before the ceremony started and we snuck in to see the bride and all the bridesmaids. Lizzie was so excited and thought everyone looked beautiful. She was just awesome during the ceremony. I was a bit tense anticipating her every move and whisper. Have you ever noticed how 3/4 yr olds can't whisper? They think that breathing heavy while talking in a normal voice is a whisper. But that was her worst offense so it wasn't that bad. The wedding was really wonderful and watching Emily and her sisters was ripping my heart out. I was so glad to be able to be there, everyone looked amazing.
We drove back late last night, Lizzie sleeping in the back seat and me listening to the 6th Harry Potter book (I'm a bit addicted). When I finally checked in with Andy I learned that Julia had been stung by a wasp earlier in the evening! I felt instantly heart broken that I hadn't been there but Andy had quickly gotten on the phone with his mom to see what could be done and with a little tylonol Julia had gone to bed fine. What an ordeal for both, but they survived. He's such a stud.
As much fun as we had I am looking forward to a quiet and long weekend next weekend. Andy's birthday is on friday so I'm going to plan a bit of family fun.
Only 4 more days to wait to find out what we're having. . .
