We spent Memorial Day weekend celebrating Ben and Kelsey (Matt's younger sister).  We are so happy for these two, especially since Ben has been a long time family friend of the McCauleys.  I can't wait for all of the fun memories yet to come!  How cute is this picture?!  All the credit goes to Aunt Katherine (thanks, by the way! ;). 
 
 Being in town for the wedding gave us a nice chance to introduce Quinn to a lot of family, including Great Grandma Harker. 

Quinn was quite the entertainment for everyone.  She started making a girgling noise the first night we were there.  Everybody giggled and smiled, thinking it was so cute.  Now, she won't stop making the noise!  
It was so fun to be a part of the bridal party.  I loved getting the chance to hang out with Kelsey and her sweet friends.

Somehow, I managed to get ready while taking care of Quinn/giving the babysitter a bigillion (I know, it's not a real word) directions on how to take care of her.  It was hard to hand her off to other people throughout the weekend, but definitely worth it.  I must also add that Quinn was a champ with meeting all the new faces and being toted around everywhere...thank goodness!
Kelsey and her brothers (Topher, we'll just pretend your eyes are open in this pic since I don't have another one ;)
Kelsey looked stunning.  Ben is one lucky guy!
The views were beautiful.  I miss wide open spaces!
It was a different experience being in a wedding with the responsability of having to take care of a little one.  I have to admit, Matt and I kind of felt old.  I was chugging down coffee halfway through the reception trying to get myself into dance mode (which is normally not a problem!).  I guess that's how it goes!!
One last playtime with Grandma Polly before heading off to the airport.
I couldn't help but include this picture (Kelsey on the far left, Ben fourth one in from the right).  Three and half years ago, a little spark was ignited :)

Love you, Ben and Kels!!!  Congrats, again!

  2. Wow! Thanks Riss! I know being a bridesmaid this time was probably about the toughest ever-but I really cherished having you there with me! Love you so much!
