Does Life Ever Slow Down?

We have had such a busy week I can hardly think straight. Last Thursday we headed to Hershey to stay overnight at my sister's on the way to NJ for Tom's brother's wedding. We got to the Garden State Friday afternoon and thankfully were able to rest and freshen up before heading to the church. Saturday morning was spent at the Garden State Plaza mall. Oh how I miss real places to shop! Tom forgot his dress shoes and we desperately needed an compact, umbrella stroller for Tennyson. The wedding was nice (though a bit long, sorry Buddy), but unfortunately I wasn't able to get as many photos as I was hoping to. Tennyson had been passed around to so many people and was overwhelmed by all the new faces that he was in Mommy-mode for most of the trip. So here's your common sense tip of the day: it's hard to take good photos while holding a squirmy baby. Brilliant, huh?

But it was so nice to see Tom's family (and his former church family), especially since most of them hadn't met Tennyson yet. I mean, honestly, how did they survive that long? And if I had $1 for every time someone remarked how much he looks like his Daddy I'd be rich!

Here is a photo of the tables, Maricel at the alter, and Buddy singing to his new bride during the ceremony.

To add to the craziness this was Tom's last week of school, so he's officially finished up his 6th year at BRCS! Where has the time gone? For those of you wondering, yes my handsome man will be in full Civil War period clothing (WOOL) in 90+ degree heat in Harper's Ferry over the summer. So if you need something to do and you don't mind melting...... We took Tennyson when he was 3 months old to see what Daddy's passion is, so I think it might be time for another trip soon.

That's all the time I have for now. Check back soon because this new Mom has LOTS of photos of her little one to post.
