April 26th was an exciting day for us- we officially added James and Kiley to our family.  It was an awesome day and a very special wedding.  All four of us were in the wedding!

It was a busy week getting ready, picking up all the necessary things, going to appointments and helping in any way we could.  The day of the wedding started early for me- hair, make up and hanging out with my sisters and Tracy’s friends.  We had lots of laughs!  The boys had an easier time of getting ready (isn’t that always the way!).

Then it was wedding time.

The skies cleared just in time to avoid getting us wet.  It was a beautiful ceremony.  On the way to the reception we went down G Street hill and were sliding on the trolly.  Bren wrote about this as one of his favorite parts of the wedding.  Then it was on to the reception- my toast, the photo booth and fun at the reception.

The boys LOVED the photo booth- there were 24 photo strips when we got home!!  They also loved dancing!  Aidan was a dancing fool!  He even did the worm!

It was definitely a night to remember!!

We always look forward to April vacation week and some fun family time.  This year was both the same and different.

There certainly was family time, and it certainly was fun.  But it all had a purpose- Tracy’s wedding!

The kids had fun going to see The Homework Machine at Boston Children’s Theatre, Bren had a playdate and there was lots of time with Josh too.  There was also a doctors appointment and dentist appointments. And then there were wedding errands, picking up tuxes and time for getting ready.  But it was all worth it when we celebrated!!

One thing we were sure to do was go to the Marathon finish line and cheer on the runners.  Our friend Liz ran last year and didn’t get to finish.  We got to see her and be part of the fun.  It’s hard to believe a year has passed, but it was a great day for our city.

Happy Easter!
