wedding

Our good friends Jeremy and Karissa, both in Mark's residency class, got married on Sunday in Asheville at The Farm. It was gorgeous weather and the changing leaves looked beautiful. Everything went perfectly! Mark and I were both in the wedding, so we relied heavily on our friends for help with Jake and Sam.

Thank you to Chelsea and Chip for keeping Jake occupied during the rehearsal, Elizabeth (Jeremy's sister) for snuggling Sam and keeping him content during the rehearsal, Leigh and Chris for watching Jake as he ran around playing during the wedding and reception until we were finished with wedding party duties, and finally Sara and Gerry for loving on Sam during the wedding and changing him into warmer clothes as the sun went down and it got much cooler during the reception. We could not have made it through the weekend without all of your help! We knew they were in good hands and didn't have to worry about whether or not they were okay while we were busy. Thank you! We love our residency family!

This was the first time we've traveled and stayed overnight somewhere since Jake's been sleeping in a big boy bed. He will not sleep in a pack 'n play anymore, so we weren't sure how the weekend was going to go. We wedged a mattress between our bed and the wall and lined it with pillows. Jake did fantastic! He stayed in this bed and slept through the night like a champ even with baby Sam close by waking up every 2-3 hours! It was a fun, busy weekend, but everything went as smoothly as it could have with an 18 month old and two week old! We are so blessed.

We don't have many pictures to share because we were so busy with the kids and wedding party duties. Hopefully I'll be able to post some from the official photographer's proofs when they come in. It was definitely a gorgeous venue!

Jake with Jeremy, the groom, at the church service Sunday morning. Jake loves Jeremy and actually cried at the reception when Jeremy stopped holding/dancing with him to dance with Karissa, his bride! Too funny!

Jake's favorite part of the wedding- the rolls. Actually, it probably was a tie between the rolls and cake:)

Jake loved the stick the kabobs were on. We thought he might try some of the food on the stick, but no. He just wanted to hold the kabob stick! 

All dressed up.

My big boys:)
