Baby's first wedding

Audrey has been a very busy baby. This may be a contributing factor in the awful sleep we have been experiencing of late. She also is growing, working on crawling, and maybe getting more teeth. We are adjusting to less sleep. Who needs sleep anyway. She was better last night, so here's hoping she keeps it up. That is all I am going to say about sleep.

The point was how busy Audrey has been. Last weekend we went to Winona, home of Winona State University, for Uncle Eric and Aunt Erikas' elopement party. Eric and Erika met at WSU, hence the location of the party. JT and I also met at Winona State, apparently it is a good place to meet a spouse.

They eloped to the Virgin Islands. They are smart people, they did not have to plan a wedding but they are happily married, best of both worlds. I can't believe my baby brother got married. He married an amazing woman. I could not be happier for them!

Eric and Erikas' party was great. We had a very nice dinner. Audrey even got her own plate. She ate a little bit of everything and dad ate the rest. She is really starting to love food! She is also getting better at feeding herself. At the wedding dinner she had salad, pears, carrots, chicken, potatoes, and squash. Good stuff.

After dinner we went to a local bar to party the night away. Audrey was a trooper and stayed up until about 9ish to party with everyone. She also enjoyed getting to meet a whole bunch of grandma Mary and grandpa Merlins' friends. She was happy to be passed from person to person. Seeing all of her grandparents and most of her aunts, uncles, and cousins was not so bad either. A wonderful time was had by all.

I failed as a mom blogger and did not take one single picture the whole weekend. I did steal this photo from Erika's facebook page. It is from breakfast on Sunday before we left. Baby girl was tired after a fun Saturday night. So was I, I stayed out until bar time, JT went back with Audrey. My parents also stayed out until bar time. Uncle Anders may even have video of grandma Mary headbanging.

Good job on a great party Eric and Erika. We wish you only the best in your life together!
