Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy Hang On!

O - H - I - O .... so Labor Day weekend Sam and I heard quite a bit of this song!  We went up WAY north to Toledo, Ohio b/c one of my good friends from college was getting married at a beautiful resort on Lake Michigan.  After having one myself, it is always nervewracking to do an outdoor wedding... but the weather was PERFECT.  They had no worries and everything went exactly as planned!  Congrats to Erin and Noah... here are a few pics from Labor Day weekend!


The outdoor rehearsal at 10:00 a.m., Sam, Brylee and I had just gotten to Toledo at about 1 a.m. the night before, so we were a little tired =).

Brylee at the rehearsal =)

Danielle and I at the rehearsal dinner later that afternoon, with our two babies! =)  Danielle got married earlier this summer and I couldn't go to her wedding b/c I'd just had Brylee, and last summer Danielle couldn't go to my wedding because she'd just had Presley!  What are the odds =).

Night before the wedding... Brylee getting ready for some beauty sleep

Here is Erin getting her makeup done... all the bridesmaids met up at the Beauty Bar to get all prettied up before the wedding

Sam picked out Brylee's outfit... she had to wear yellow to match him =)  (Notice Bry's initials on her dress, Granny Paulette got her that) =)

Me and my darling in our hotel room at the resort before the wedding... it worked out perfect, our room was 2 doors down from our bridesmaid "get ready" room.  So I could come check in on Sam and Brylee constantly - lol =)

Natalie's little boy, James... tore up the dance floor

Brylee at the reception =)

Me and the hubbie =) I think the first time we'd slow danced since our wedding last year!

Sammy kept an eye on Brylee (as you can tell, she was really hard to watch =) ) while I hit the dance floor with Erin and the bridesmaids

Before we left the resort, I took Brylee in the water for her first time ever in a swimming pool! =)

All snuggled up after her swim! =)

And then on the way back to Louisville, we stopped at BU to visit my sister and her roomie Abby (who is giving Brylee a bottle) =)
