Wetzel Wedding

We just got home from a really fun family wedding in Tennessee. We do not get to see our extended family very often, so we jumped at the chance to travel and celebrate my cousin Heidi's special day! It was a weekend filled with lots of catching up, loving on babies, celebration, and even included a surprise delivery from my cousin Katy...DiCarlos Pizza (all the way from Wheeling WV)!

Friday night my parents graciously took the girls so Patrick and I could head to downtown Nashville with my brother and his girlfriend and meet up with my best friend Claire, an awesome bonus to the weekend!

6 babies have been born into our extended family within the past eight months, and four of them were at the wedding. Here is Scarlett with my cousin Teddy's little guy (or big guy, he is 6 weeks younger than Scarlett and outweighs her by three pounds!) Killian.

the hotel had an indoor pool, so Sat and Sun morning we took the girls swimming

Heidi we are SO HAPPY for you and Dave and had a wonderful time helping you start your wonderful journey together!

I didn't get any pictures... but Sunday we met back up with Claire and had a quick lunch and tour of Nashville before heading to see her and David's new house! Thanks for your hospitality Claire! We are SO GLAD we got to see you and David too!

6 months!

I can't believe this little girl is 6 months already!

She is:

such a happy baby

on the cusp of sleeping through the night

still only sleeps on her belly

still loves her paci

rolls around like crazy

is starting to rock on her hands and knees

can sit up for a second if she leans forward on her hands

eats three meals a day (formula mixed with rice cereal and baby food)

drinks 6oz of formula 4-5 times a day

wears size 3 diapers

wears 6-9 month clothes

squeals when her sister tries to make her laugh

has a tight finger grip

is almost bald

has a dimple in her ear like her mama

looks just like her big sister

IS THE PERFECT ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY!

green crafting

Caroline and I made a little St. Patrick's Day gift for her two teachers, an oreo cookie bouquet!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Fishing with Daddy

Patrick is on Spring Break this week so Monday he took Caroline to Yuma to visit with her cousin's James and Ben and tryout the new fishing pole they got her for Christmas! It was a fun little 2 day daddy daughter trip!

C and Uncle Michael in the boat he is making

Michael is so talented, this is at least the second boat he has made by hand, from scratch!

row, row, row your boat!

like mother, like daughter

Last week I had a meeting in Los Angeles, so I had a little packing to do. After I was done packing I went to find Caroline, and found her doing a little packing of her own! She had even folded everything perfectly!
