5 Months!

Month 5 has been not much different than month 4, except she is getting bigger and her hair is getting longer! She is close to sitting up by herself, and if we prop her just right, she will sit there for 10 seconds or more. She has been a great little traveler, and I have no giraffe picture, and no height/weight stats, but here is a Happy Halloween wish to you all! (giraffe pics will be coming!)

We had a GREAT time at Tim and Kelli's wedding. It was gorgeous! It should have been in a magazine. Seriously, Martha Stewart missed out. Everything from the hotel everyone stayed in to the historic church (on the location that Francis Scott Key died), the shuttle, and then the reception (Oh my) was just perfect. I didn't take too many photos, because I was busy bust'n a move on the dance floor, but I do have some that I would like to call your attention to:

The Bouquet Toss - All the single ladies lined up.

There's the 2/6 that have not tied the knot yet. Not in the first row, not even in the second. They are 3 deep!

Seriously, does anyone WANT to get married? Not a single hand in the air! The bouquet is flying into a crowd who obviously doesn't want to catch it!

Getting married is fun, promise.

We are...

in Baltimore. We've just arrived. My good friend Kelli is getting married this weekend (that makes 4/6 that have tied the knot, Mir and Stina, you're in the minority now). I decided to stay back in the hotel to get Tessa back on some sort of schedule, while Scott went to grab some lunch (Tessa was amazing on the flight, like she has been in the past. And it was 4 hours on the plane! Such a good baby). He called as soon as he got the the restaurant, reading me the delicious entrees which are available. That was 1.5 hours ago. Seriously, I am starving. We got a pack of crackers on the plane, and nothing more. I haven't eaten in 7 hours. Hopefully he comes soon, or Tessa might be missing a couple of baby toes.

At the Pumpkin Patch

We went to a real pumpkin patch in Kansas City (Louisburg to be exact). As soon as we got there, I was wondering why we didn't go to one in Phoenix, where it was warm, and didn't have a cold south wind blowing 100 mph freezing my poor baby. And didn't smell like rotten apples and hay.

Kansas City Half Marathon

Hooray for Katie and Grandpa Jim (Dad)! They finished the Kansas City Half Marathon this morning. Grandma Honey (Mom) and I surprised them both by coming to cheer them on (and Tessa too!). It was cold, but it didn't rain. Great job to both of you!
