Teeth are a wonderful thing!

We haven't had any problems teething with our monkey. All his teeth came in perfectly fine with very little discomfort to him. No all nighters screaming, maybe just a picky eater. Last night though his poor little 2 year old molars decided to make themselves known and I was up half the night with a very unhappy child. He's so independent that he didn't want me to cuddle with him, he didn't want Mommy really at all but would scream when I left. I finally got him to cuddle with me for about 20 minutes in the rocker and I think it was just enough to take the pressure off his ears so he could fall asleep. He then slept the rest of the night (or I just slept through his crying which is possible). It never fails that things like this happen on the nights before you have a busy day ahead with no specific nap time for him in site. Today should be interesting but a mom always has to be ready for the unexpected so I will be packing a tricks bag with me today and have plenty of activities for him to be entertained while we are visiting with people. Now I just need to figure out what's going to go in my trick bag.

I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family.

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
