Our week and weekend was very busy and emotional….filled with both sad and happy events. I really want to thank everyone for your heartfelt emails and comments after my post about Nathan. It’s been such a crazy week/weekend, and if you haven’t gotten a response back from me, you will. 
Saturday, we took the kiddies shoe shopping and to lunch, then ran some errands before Nathan’s Viewing.
We got to see many relatives (who flew in from the East Coast). As well as meet new family members (lil’ Zoe and baby Robert). Afterwards, Aric, the kiddies, and I had a late dinner with the in-laws at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton.
CONGRATULATIONS to my bro-in-law and his new wife!
Sunday, Patrick and Karen got married. The ceremony and reception was soooooo beautiful and breathtaking. They never followed the traditional route when it came to wedding planning. From the invitation, wedding website, ceremony, reception, and slideshow/movie…everything had a humorous and personal touch. I loved it! And I love them!
For Aric, who rarely talks to his brother (they share an odd brother-relationship), I know it was a very proud and joyous occassion for him. 
During the slideshow/movie, we sat at the bar for a better view of the screen. The bartender had some fun with the girls and hooked ‘em up with drinks (soda water)…and Aric got some fun pictures. I had to put them in a separate album because I didn’t want anyone to report me to Social Services. 
HAHAHA!
Oooh, and I almost forgot…we got to meet Adam Watts! He’s a close friend of Patrick, and a songwriter who does quite a bit of work with the Disney family (Everlife, Aly & AJ, etc…)…and Ashlyn’s favorite - JESSE McCARTNEY!…that’s HUGE!!! 
All in all, we’ve been on an emotional roller coaster…high, low, high, low…with me crying all the way. I’m physically and emotionally drained….plus I still have a lingering cold that flares up on certain days. It’s weird. Both kids are runny and coughing, too. *sigh*

i loved the fun pictures. how do you get your hair up in a pony tail with the cute puffed bit in the front? I always use a ton of bobby pins- is there another way?
try to rest and feel better.
