I completely forgot (mommy brain) to mention the big weekend my family just had. Katherine Blume (my very good friend from my MAT year) just got married! (6-18-11) I was a bridesmaid in her wedding which took place in Little Rock. This required me (and eventually Jared and Claire) to travel to Little Rock for the festivities. It was a beautiful wedding and a very fun reception. Katie looked stunning and extremely happy. I am so pleased for her and for Blake (the guy she married). He is the nicest man and I am so glad that they found each other.
This wedding also created a few firsts for Claire:
1) Her first road trip
I rode down with some friends (Andy and Andrea Blume-Katie's cousin/wife) so that Jared and
Claire could drive down later and we wouldn't have two cars in Little Rock.
2) First stay in a hotel (first night anywhere other than home for that matter)
Also first ride in an elevator (she didn't seem to mind/notice)
3) First Wedding
4) First reception
5) First trip to Feltner's Whata-burger in Russellville, AR
Anyway, a lot of fun firsts to experience with Claire. She did wonderfully the whole trip. She slept well and she smiled a lot. She looked adorable in her party dress and was the bell of the ball (and so was Katie who was the bride of course). We couldn't have asked for a better baby. We had a really good trip and I am excited about taking Claire on many more exciting adventures.
