End of June?????

I can hardly believe its almost the end of June already! I sure wish this weather would smarten up.
I can't believe I haven't even posted about Abby and Andrew's wedding yet! We only have a few pictures so far, but they are great!
Here are a couple though:


The day was wonderful - I woke up, got showered, made sure my hubby was prepared with my boys for the day and headed off to my parents house. All the girls were getting ready and so I joined right in, got my hair and makeup taken care of and then we got dressed. We were getting pictures done before the wedding and we met at Dublins Crossing where Abby and Andrew got to see each other. Then we headed into Old Cloverdale for some other pictures and ended up grabbing some food and going to Richmond for the ceremony.
When we arrived at the ceremony location, the power was out - in all of Richmond. BC Hydro, when called, told us it wouldn't be back on until 6:30 and the ceremony was supposed to start at 5:00. The sound and the catering were a bit worried - we got Abby settled into the room where we were going to hang out before the ceremony, assuring her that the power would be back on soon. Just before 5:00pm, everyone is scrambling trying to make alternate plans, and the bride had a few tears when she realized she may not be able to walk down the aisle to the song she had planned. But, due to traffic, some guests were a few minutes late and about ten minutes before 5, the power came back! So, we started the ceremony a bit late, but everything was OK!
It was beautiful - my little sister looked radiant as she walked down the aisle. Andrew had a big smile on his face and other than the 4 inch heels that I was wearing, everything went great! We weren't sure Landon would walk down the aisle, but he did, and once he got to the front, he got a bit shy, but he sat behind me looking out the window and blowing out all the candles along the window, singing "Happy Birthday" as he went.
The reception happened right after the ceremony and it was a lot of fun - good food, friends, laughter and dancing. I'm so happy for Abby and Andrew - they are now settling into their new townhome and loving married life.
As for us, we are feeling like we are just ending this super busy season. Jason has been on nights all month and with some other events that have happened, we have been running by each other many days! This Sunday we are heading up to Osoyoos with some friends for some relaxing time and I'm looking forward to it.
The boys are doing really well - Liam is now 4 months old. We went to see Dr Hansen today and Liam is in the 50th percentile for weight, 90th percentile for height and 75th percentile for head circumference. He is a super happy baby and we are just loving watching the interaction grow daily between him and Landon.
Landon is loving life - he had so much fun with all of his aunts and uncles around this past month. Auntie Kare and Uncle Ben spent so much time with Landon and Landy still can't figure out where they have gone. He asks every day for "Uncle Bin and Kare". This time we really noticed how hard it is that they are so far away....Landon is at such an interactive age and so he built a really great relationship with them while they were here. We are very thankful for Skype in this household, because Landon gets to talk to Ben and Kare quite often.
I will try to post some recent pictures soon!!
