Hello! This month started off with my mom's arrival to Texas, yay! Now both parents are here together. : ) We celebrated my dad's birthday on September 2nd, by eating out at his favorite restaraunt, Chuy's! And of course he got his fill of their green chiles! Genevieve and I had a play date the next day with my good friend Kristin and her little boy Jack, which was very fun! We spent the next Saturday at my parents house in Richland Hills. Nathan helped my dad with some things around the house, while my mom and I played with Genevieve and went through some jewelry and clothes. My mom gave me some cute maternity clothes and some of her cute necklaces, yay! The following week we started our trip to Kansas City for my brother's wedding. We stopped in Wichita on Thursday, so we could visit Mum and Bub (my grandparents), Aunt Amy, Jonas, and my brother George.
We arrived in Kansas City Friday around lunchtime, got Genevieve down for a nap, then got ready for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Fortunately we had a babysitter for Genevieve during the rehearsal dinner, so we could enjoy the evening without having to worry about chasing her around, etc... Poor Nathan spent most of the night in pain from his eye, where Genevieve accidentally jabbed him pretty hard. He wasn't able to enjoy the dinner as much as everyone else. All the family and friends gave some wonderful toasts and there was a very cute slideshow with all of Sam and Chelsea's pictures with each other, family, and friends. The next day was the wedding day!
The bridal party spent the day getting hair and makeup done and taking pictures. Meanwhile the fits spent the day at Soul Patch, having their faces shaved. The wedding ceremony was beautiful, held at The Visitation Parish. Once it was over, we took some family pictures, then handed Genevieve over to the babysitter for the night. The reception was held afterwards at The Carriage Club. It was a very pretty and fun reception with an awesome band that played. Even my pregnant self got out there and danced! Nathan sang a beautiful song for Sam and Chelsea at the reception, was very sweet!
The next morning we headed back to Dallas. It was a very fun weekend and great to be with family. We are so happy for Sam and Chelsea and blessed we were a part of their special day! A few days later I met my friends Ashley, Allison, and Joanna for frozen yogurt. It was fun to catch up with the girls, but also sad to say goodbye to my dear friend Ashley. She and her husband Michael will be moving to Africa for a few years to do Catholic missionary work for a non-profit organization. very excited for them, but will also miss them very much! Nathan and I recently had a double date with our sweet friends Kristin and Justin, which was tons of fun!
This past weekend we did the Hike For Life, Genevieve even walked with us for a little bit! She loves to walk and had a blast! I think she was the littlest person there haha. later on that say my patents came over to help us with a few things around the house. It was great to see them and have their help! My mom and I started organizing both Genevieve's and Noah's rooms, so we can decorating them soon! Almost time for nesting. : ) My baby shower for Noah is this weekend. Will be a small, but sweet shower, thrown by both my dear friend Kristin and my mom. Can't wait to start collecting little boy items! Well guess that's it for this month, more to come in October! Love to all. : )
