What a weekend!


Well, we are home safe and sound from our whirlwind trip to Edmonton. I must say, it was great to see all the members of Sean's family and to have some time on the road to just chat with my beloved husband...OK so I've said all that for the record right?


AHHH! this was a bit of a frustrating weekend starting with...wait for it...my middle child puking in my hands during a beautiful video of the actual wedding ceremony in Columbia. Yeah that's right, right in my hand. I was holding Kane on my lap and her supper in the other...yay parenting! I don't think she could have picked a quieter moment, at least the attention of all those in attendance was on something else.


Sean tells me only a few people noticed and while I much prefer this theory, I'm not sold on it. So that put an abrupt end to my time at the wedding. Washed up Meg, packed up Kane and away we went for a solid night of Backyardigans. Not what I had in mind. Super glad I stressed about my dress too!


Anyhow Hannah and Sean stayed and it sounds like Hannah had the time of her life which is definitely consolation to my crummy night. She came in the door of our hotel with Sean at 12:30a.m. and was so excited to tell me this was the latest she has ever been awake..."I stayed up until it wasn't even yesterday, Mom...isn't that amazing!!"


She had been on the dance floor all night, conga-ing until the cows came home (that is the bride, Sean's cousin Kathryn...yup, Kathryn Pooley... in front of her in the picture). She got to take salsa lessons with Aaron and boogied with the big kids all night long. She now has memories of dancing with her Great Uncle Bob, her Uncle Aaron and of course her Daddy... like all little girls should have. I was really happy she enjoyed herself and wished I could have boogied with her... but the pictures speak a 1000 words and she is smiling in all of them. Oh well, there will always be next time for me right? Maybe by then I will have lost my baby weight and will feel 200% (as Hannah would say) to go and cut a rug with Seany.
