First - on June 12 my baby brother got married!! Wow! It was so nice to be a part of their wedding and to watch it all take place - he and Amy seem so happy and really seemed to enjoy their wedding weekend. It brought back so many memories of playing and singing with Anthony when we were little. I always wanted a little brother and could not have asked for a better one. He is all grown up and an amazing man.
With a very sweet new wife!
At the rehearsal dinner Todd, with a little input from me, made a really cool slideshow. I really like this picture of them watching the slideshow.
On the wedding day it was really hot and humid...after arriving at the church a huge thunderstorm came through...it cooled things down but in the meantime made the lights in the church go on and off. They went out briefly while I was singing in a quartet with Amy, Tony, and their friend David. We just kept singing and it turned out fine:) It was actually really cool to hear the big storm during the ceremony.
Harrison was a champ throughout the whole weekend....he got significantly less sleep because he insisted on being involved in everything! Despite this he stayed his typical happy little self. It was so much fun!
Congrats Tony and Amy! We love you!
Then it was off to Hilton Head for the Schneider Family reunion.....there was a lot to celebrate while we were there. Todd's Dad and Uncle Jack are turning 60, it was Todd's parents anniversary, Robin and Jack's anniversary (they got married in Hilton Head 5 years ago), and Aunt Kristi and Uncle Mark along with the great grandparents and other family members got to meet Harrison. Kristi just got a promotion, I am sure that I am forgetting something else....so sorry to anyone that I left out.
Anyway, it was a fun time at the beach...Harrison experienced his first swim in a pool and multiple swims in the ocean. He seemed to like the ocean better than the pool. Harrison loved meeting and playing with everyone! We enjoyed all of the family time too. I must say that a beach vacation it quite different with baby than before baby (not just for my swimsuit body). It was fun in a different way - priorities have shifted from laying on the beach, tanning, and reading multiple books to making sure that Harrison has lots of fun. There were plenty of babysitters available so I did get a little time just to sit and read and go to the beach. Which was great!
Now we are home and have gotten back into the daily routine. Harrison is back to sleeping from about 7pm-4am, eating, and then sleeping until about 6:15am. He is such a sweet little guy! We are looking forward to starting some solids really soon...he is watching us eat, reaching out, and trying to put our food in his mouth. I think he is telling us something (plus the ladies at daycare call him a milk hound!!).
