The Leonard Family: Weddings, babies, and a busted lip!

We headed to Savannah on Friday afternoon (in case you aren't keeping up...that is 8 trips in 8 months for mommy between family and work visits!) It was the 6th trip of the year for the family! Whew! We have put some miles on that road this year! It was worth the drive to be there for such a special family wedding! Steven's cousin, Walker, got married Saturday afternoon!

It was a true "Savannah" weekend from top to bottom! We got to the rehearsal dinner on Friday night around 7pm. The kids took a late nap in the car and did so great getting there late and staying up to visit! We had so much fun! Uncle Steve and Laura hosted the rehearsal dinner at their house! Everything looked great! Lights strung in the trees, low country boil, beautiful bluff view and lots of family! We were so glad that we made it in time!
Saturday we got up and met Grandbubba for lunch at Tubby's. It was such a nice lunch! When we finished eating, Jack got up to walk around the patio and play. He was jumping around and his feet slipped and he landed right on his mouth! I jumped up and ran to him and saw the blood. My first thought was "NOT HIS TEETH!!!!!" Luckily, his teeth looked just fine. I did get my first lesson in face/head injuries. THEY BLEED LOTS! It took awhile to get it to stop bleeding, but Jack was such a brave boy! He let us keep presure on it and put ice on it to keep the swelling down! We were so proud of him! A little traumatic for us, but he is now boasting about his very BIG boy boo-boo! He tells anyone who will listen all about his "busted lip"!
Later that afternoon, Steven and I got dressed and headed downtown for the wedding! We were very excited about our date night! Aunt Mimi and Granny were so great to keep the kids for us! We really enjoyed it! The setting was completely like a fairy tale! Beautiful gardens and old Savannah home on one of the squares. The food, family and music were great! We enjoyed ourselves (probably a little too much when the kids woke up at 6:45...yikes, now I remember why we dont go out that often!) and even headed to the Olde Pink House for a glass of wine after we left the wedding. It was such a fun night for us!

Sunday (I know... you probably think we got up and headed home..but we weren't quite done!) we got up and headed to Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brian's house for Sarah's baby shower!!!! Lisa, Carrie and I hosted a baby shower for Baby Thorpe!! It was so fun to see everyone and get together to celebrate the new baby! Sarah looked so cute and got lots of fun things! We hung out for a little while after the shower to let the kids play and to time our trip home a little better! We wanted to leave close to bedtime so the kids would sleep! It ended up being so great because we got some good time with them! Being together makes us miss them even more! Jack LOVED playing with John and Maddy so much! It was fun to see them play!

It was a fantastic weekend and we are home safe and sound! We are trying to have a quiet day and recover. We are all pretty tired! We are so thankful for such wonderful family. It was nice to sit back this weekend at see so much of the family together so happy! It's inspiring to see everyone! We also were very thankful for sweet Jack and Lucy! They were so well behaved and happy the whole weekend! They go with the flow, enjoy seeing everyone, sleep anywhere we go, behave in the car, and bring such joy to our lives! We do not take for granted how great they are!
