Weekend fun

Some exciting news...Alley finally (whew!!) cut her first tooth! It popped completely through today...yeah! Now we're still working on the one right next to it, which is still right under the skin...if only I could get it through, life would be much calmer and quieter;)
On top of a new tooth, we had a busy weekend. We traveled to Richmond for the day to go to a friends wedding. This was Alley's first wedding and she was so excited about it that she refused to nap all day! Woo-hoo! Actually, she did amazingly well for having gotten almost no sleep. We drove to Richmond in the morning and spent some time at Mimi and Papa's house. The wedding was in the middle of the afternoon (and was beautiful!) at St. Matt's where Andy and I got married. We hadn't been back to a wedding there since our own which was over 3 years ago! Afterwards we drove out to Hanover to the reception(of course, Alley finally fell asleep...in the car!ugh!)...honestly, I was really worried about Alley being at the reception and totally overwhelmed with all the people and having a meltdown...she did wonderfully! Papa and Mimi whisked her away and she just adored being with them and getting to check out everything. Thanks Mimi and Papa!!! It turned out to be a delightful day:)
Then today we all got together again, but this time in Farmville. John was asked to sing at Granny's church this morning so we all went to show our support. He did a fabulous job and really touched some people with his singing. Afterwards, we all went back to Granny's house for a good ol' southern Sunday meal...fried chicken!
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
