Trussell/Parker Wedding Weekend

The weekend whizzed by! What a whirlwind of fun! We had Tricia's Bridesmaid luncheon Friday at Relish. It was a beautiful restaurant in Roswell that featured southern food. Yum!




On to the rehearsal Friday evening! And then the dinner at Smokejacks! It was a great time and we were able to see lots of friends and family from all over the U.S.!Tricia and Kyle were glowing! Avery hung in until about 10 and that was a record.



Finally, the BIG Day had arrived. Saturday was spent playing with Julie and Casey our good friends from Chicago. While Avery took her afternoon nap I was off to get my hair done and get ready for the wedding. It was a rainy, rainy day. Tricia was set on having an outside wedding and we did! It lightly misted for some of the ceremony, but it was PERFECT! Avery made it down the aisle all by her self. She just followed the flower petals. She was cute as a button. Then Tricia and Dad came out and she was stunning! It was the beginning of a perfect evening. The reception was fabulous. Great food, good music, and lots of dancing. Avery led the evenings festivities by dancing her little heart out. She kicked off her shoes when the ceremony was over and didn't stop laughing and dancing until Trevor took her home around 9. Trevor was sweet to take her home so I could stay and enjoy the wedding. It was a great weekend! I hope Tricia and Kyle are enjoying there honeymoon on the cruise.

March is flying by!

The last few weeks have been very busy! We had Uncle Scott in town the weekend of March 14th and then Monday we left for Florida. Trevor had some work in Clearwater, and Avery and I decided to tag along. We were able to see Great Grampa, Uncle Todd, Aunt Steph, Theoren, Tommy, Aunt Tam and Quinn. Aside from visiting family we also went to the beach, pool, and aquarium. It was a quick trip, but nice to get away. I just wish I had taken some pictures at our O'Mara cookout!





Last weekend was Tricia's 21st birthday. We went to Taco Mac and enjoyed a nice dinner and a yummy treat. Now the countdown is on and Tricia and Kyle will be married on March 28th. We are looking forward to another great weekend with family and friends.

Snow Day In Atlanta

It is hard to believe that yesterday it was 60 degrees in Atlanta and today it is 33! We watched the weather and were very doubtful that the snow would accumulate today after such warm weather. Thank goodness we were wrong! The temperature started dropping, and the snow continued to fall making it a beautiful day!


Unfortunately, I was unprepared. Avery does not have snow pants, boots, or a sled. So... we bundled up in what warm clothes we had and explored the cold white stuff. Avery likes to call it "ice." She also wants to eat it! She scooped some snow off the ground and before I could stop her she had eaten a few flakes and some grass. It didn't stop her from having fun though! We hope to get out there again after her afternoon nap. We have a birthday party in the neighborhood at 4:00 and then home to enjoy a fire and a nice warm dinner. Sounds like a great night!

This week Avery and Sarah had a tea party. The older the girls get the more fun they have together. Sarah is walking now, and that puts them on the same level. It is so nice to see them having a good time. We are looking forward to the start of Music Class this week.
