Cooper passed out at the Reception

Our journey to Missouri!

Day 1: Our journey started off quite well! Cooper was once again a champ on the airplane, the people sitting next to us even voted him “Best Baby on Board”! He of course demanded the attention of everyone around us! :) For the most part it was an easy travel day, Cooper slept most of the flight. Grammy was there to pick us up and we went out to dinner at Blueberry Hill with Great Aunt Diana and Great Uncle Ernie. 

Day 2: We had a full day of wedding prep stuff, I was happy to help out when and where I could. We kept very busy and spent the day at Grammy and Grandpa’s house. We ventured out that night in hopes of getting Cooper to fall asleep but instead he decided to be a social baby while we delivered welcome baskets to some wedding guests. As opposed to night one Cooper went to bed a bit earlier.

Day 3: We had more wedding prep to do but today we seemed a bit calmer with wedding day approaching fast! We hung out at home and finished up the last minute ends for the wedding and then it was off to rehearsal dinner! Dinner was at Pi Pizza, it was a great little restaurant on “The Loop” Cooper was of course his social self again saying hi to everyone and chatting with people, he made some great friends Agnus and Phil Huey(who is one of Greg’s mother’s friend and if I’m not mistaken use to babysit Greg (Diana’s fiance/husband) when he was little in NY), they took to Cooper immediately, after dinner we headed over to the church and Cooper played with Lucinda the flower girl, he crawled around and found his friend Agnus again as well! He turned in an early night and fell sound asleep in the car on the way home. Tonight Andy arrives from Houston and will be here briefly for the wedding! Wedding Saturday and Sunday it is OFF TO LAKE OF THE OZARKS! 

Day 4: WEDDING DAY! Wedding morning was pretty calm, the girls went off to the hair salon not to be seen again till wedding time, Uncle Kevin, Grandpa and Daddy went to Greg’s for lunch and Cooper took a pretty decent nap. The boys came back to the house for a little while before they headed to the church to get ready. Cooper and I were picked up later by the flower girl, Lucinda, and her parents Kate and Ben. The wedding ceremony was a beautiful Catholic wedding and Diana looked just stunning!! The reception was full of amazing food, great music & dancing and just a great time. Cooper slept the majority of the time but woke up just in time to get some dancing in, and then send the couple off. All in all it was a great wedding, the only snafu was “the case of the missing diaper wipes” (more like “the mommy runs out of diaper wipes”/Cooper decides to poop 3 times at the wedding and reception!) problem solved thanks to the flower girl! 

Day 5: A day of rest, we took the day to cleanup after the wedding and get prepared for the trip to the Ozarks! Nothing extremely exciting today, a lot of out of towners stopped in to say hi and bye, Daddy took off around noon (no frets though because he moves to Denver some time next week WAAHOOO!!) Everyone took some naps and that evening we watched “A Fish Called Wanda” before turning in.
