Wedding Weekend

The Lindgren's had another weekend of unpacking, sorting, tossing, and another wedding. It also included a first, since Laura's new job.

We just moved to Vancouver, thankfully, because she was on-call this weekend and she got 'called'. She had to get up and head out at 2am and Ava woke up shortly thereafter, leaving her a bit confused, since Momma has always been there. I had to get up with Ava and search around the apartment, letting her know that Momma isn't here right now. After looking, I asked her if she wanted to go to bed and I let her know that I was here. She snuggled up closer and tighter than ever before and drifted off to sleep in about 20 minutes. I took a little more than an hour, then Laura came home.

This event was the first with more to come, methinks. I think Laura and I learned that if this happens again on an on-call weekend, we'll have to take it easy, if we can, the next day.

Well, onto the subject of weddings, Troy and Jennifer got hitched on the farm and we were graciously invited. It was a very cool ceremony, including a 1/4 mile procession upon a path directed by two rows of sunflowers, along with an a bride accompanied by live, onthespot, fiddler. Ah, those Hartzel's sure can plan an event!

There were plenty of things for the kiddies to do, and Ava was just another one of the girls out there. I have an image engrained in my mind, when I saw her sitting with 3 or 4 other little girls, all huddled around each other, and Ava was just giggling away. Wow! What a moment!

Below you'll find some cool pics, some of which include our friends Randy and Sarah, as well as one of Ava's friends, Abigail Ketah.

I WAS going to say Ava just gets more and more adorable with every new post, but taking a closer look, it's the entire family. Adorable!
