Darren ended up having to work late on Friday night so he wasn't able to go with Ava and me to the rehearsal. That was another first... hour long car ride with just mommy and Ava! I left with plenty of time just in case I had to stop to feed her, but she slept the entire time! Ava and I stayed the night at Nana and Papa Pecha's so we wouldn't have to drive so far in the dark. I left the rehearsal around 8:00 and had to make a pit stop at the Hansel corner to feed my screaming, starving baby.
Saturday we got up and went to vist Great Grandma Meinders and Great Great Uncle George and Aunt Edna. They loved to see Ava and thought she was such a doll. Then Nana, Mommy, and Ava went for a walk around the sights of Dumont (I had to show my daughter my old stomping grounds!)
We had to be at the church early to take pictures on Saturday. Ava did good and pretty much slept most of the time. Between pictures and the wedding we made a visit to Great Aunt Mari. She had been shopping and pretty much bought out Gymboree for Ava. Thanks, Mari!
The wedding went great. Mark and Jody looked wonderful, as well as Ava's cousins Zach, Emily and new cousin Josie. We didn't get a lot of pictures from the wedding, so hopefully we'll see some that the photographer took.
After the wedding, Nana and Papa came to take Ava back to their house to babysit during the reception. (They really needed their arms twisted to do this, right?) She was such a good baby for them.
