First, to prove that our family knows how to have a good time (especially with an open bar) I present Dan and Uncle Paul:
Lizzie handled the late night pretty well, with only one real crying fussy time - which was solved by letting her push herself backwards on the slippery wood floors (note the baby's breath tucked into her 5 pony tails - very festive):
She was also distracted when I gave her her own shoe to play with (she doesn't walk yet, just starting to crawl really, so whats the point of shoes if not as toys?):
Just a quick shot of Ryan and Lizzie right before the ceremony:
Danny and Mom before the ceremony:
I am lacking a few important people in these blogs (namely the bride and groom and Dad, etc) but I am sure more of those pics will appear when we get the professional photos back (my hands were busy holding my wine glass and/or the baby for the balance of the night).
On the Sunday morning after the wedding, we went to a late brunch at Kate and John's house to celebrate again with family and in the evening after Lizzie was asleep, Ryan and I completely emptied out our kitchen. First thing Monday morning Ryan and Brian ripped out the kitchen ceiling and ripped up the ugly old floors. We now have sheetrock and tile in their place, though not 100% finished (we have been going out to eat a lot these days as we have very limited access to our kitchen stove until the tile is really done). I will post a few before and after pics when the "after" is a little further along. Everything looks great so far!
