Weekend of Weddings

Well we're back from our crazy travels. We left on Wednesday afternoon and drove to Milwaukee. Ann and Titus came up from Kenosha and hung out with us in the hotel. So Adam met uncle Titus for the first time.

Then on Thursday we got up at 4 am. Adam usually eats at 4 am, but then we all go back to bed. So on Thursday morning when we didn't go back to bed he was looking at me and Dave like we were crazy to be awake so early. We took the 6 am ferry across Lake Michigan. It was so nice not to have to drive through Chicago! Then we had a four hour drive across Michigan. We got to Warren (a suburb of Detroit) around 2 pm and relaxed in our hotel all afternoon. Then we all went to the rehearsal for Zack's wedding. Zack is Dave's college roommate, so Dave was a groomsman in the wedding. Adam was a terror that night. He cried through most of the rehearsal and then through most of the rehearsal dinner. All I could think is tomorrow is going to be awful.

Thankfully Adam was an easy baby on Friday for the wedding. He almost made it through the entire wedding without crying. One of the ladies at my table held Adam while I ate, because like always he was a little fussy at dinner time. Once the music started he was in a good mood though. Adam loved being on the dance floor and watching the DJ's lights. We all had a lot of fun dancing and stayed at the wedding until midnight. Then I bought a large coffee and drove two hours to Kalamazoo Michigan.
At first I thought it was strange that Zack and Lynn were getting married on a Friday, but their reason was so cool. Both of their parents were married on August 14th 33 years ago. Plus both of their mothers purchased the same dress pattern and wore the same wedding gown. And as if that wasn't crazy enough the mothers showed up at the rehearsal in the same exact dress! I think Zack and Lynn were meant for each other and now they share an anniversary with their parents.
So on Saturday we drove to Peoria IL for my friend Kathleen's wedding. We didn't end up making it to the ceremony, but we had a lot of fun at the reception. Kathleen is a sorority sister and her husband, Adam, is one of Dave's fraternity brothers, so there were a lot of friends at the wedding for Adam to meet. I think at one point Rachel almost stole him. The reception ended at 11 pm and then Dave drove us an hour to a hotel in the middle of nowhere. Sunday Adam only needed two stops so we got home at 6 pm. My mom and dad were at our house cooking dinner and brought Brockway home. It was a nice weekend, but I'm so happy to be home!
