As usual it has taken me a bit of time to get this post up but I promised news and pictures of my brother's wedding. We of course had a fabulous time and the trip itself turned out to be not so bad. I traveled by myself with the two big kids so it was a much easier trip than last time. They were fantastic on the plane. I have to say that I let them watch movies and play video games the entire time for my sanity and they were happy to indulge! They even both slept a little on the flight.Once we got to Denver it was a whirlwind of a weekend but loads of fun. We had manicures and pedicures, got our hair and makeup done, indulged in a few hours of power shopping, and of course - the wedding itself. The wedding and the bride were beautiful. It was wonderful to be a part of this special day for my brother and his new wife. I am blessed to have a wonderful new sis and a darling nephew as well!
Through the weekend my kiddos enjoyed lots of special moments with their cousins and their Gia and Boppa. They have a special tree that they climb and most of their down time was spent in that tree. We had quite a bit of sap in the hair and on the clothes but that is a small price to pay for such childhood joy. I am thankful that I was able to bring them with me so they could build those memories!
Sadly, after only 3 days, we had to turn around and make the nearly 20 hour trek home. Again, the kids were perfect on the plane and I got to watch movies and read. Wow! No fights to break up and no babies to attend. Wonderful! We even got to sit behind an Australian rock star, Jimmy Barnes, on the way home. Of course, I had no idea who he was and had to ask my neighbor - all the people taking pictures with him gave it away. All in all, I could not have asked for a better weekend.
My only regret for the weekend was that the two little girls and my hubby could not join us. We decided it was just too hard to fly so far for the weekend. They stayed home and had a good time on their own. And, I came home to a clean house, all the laundry done, and happy babies. I have a fantastic husband! I could not ask for more. What a guy to allow me to enjoy the weekend without worry and truly have a relaxing time. It all happened over Mother's Day and could not have been a more fitting weekend!
Congratulations little brother!
