The wedding

Laura ready for the wedding.

The limo ride to the church.

My aunt and uncle sang a lovely duet and there was not a dry eye at the church.
After the ceremony, we had to stay at the church for photos. Laura was cranky and had a meltdown. I don't think she got in most of the photos.

When we got to the reception, we gave Laura something to eat and she was back to her usual happy self. She must have been hypoglycemic because we didn't eat lunch before the ceremony. BAD MOMMY!

Me and Ymo

My dad was dancing it up.

Right before the cake cutting, Laura was almost passed out from all the excitement.

Dazzles

We had appointments at Dazzles for the gals. We got a little room in the back for the bridal party with snacks.

Hedi gets a mani.
Carolyn gets a pedi.

Laura got her first "real" haircut and she was very nervous. We had to do a lot of bribing with balloons and lollipops. Afterwards, she was totally fine and her usual self.

This dryer was HOT!

Rehearsal for Hedi and Jim's wedding

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm on Friday.  Rehearsal was at 5:30pm at the Lady of Loretto church.

Laura says hello to Ha dah buh gee, my brother James in the back, my uncle from Korea.

Hedi prays that the wedding will go smoothly.

The rehearsal dinner at Hudson House.  Really nice next to the Hudson river.

They ended up playing in the alcove next to the bathrooms.  Nice.

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

I had a coding lesson at 7:30 AM (preschool opens at 7:30 AM) for work so I dropped Laura off at Thomas' early so they could take her to school.  Then in the afternoon, I picked both of them up b/c Thomas' dad and mom were working late.

Laura showed Thomas her Polly Pocket collection.  They played princesses for a while.

Then after dinner, they kept guard against the basement door to prevent the vampires from coming in.
The highlight of the night was Thomas telling all of us that he would like to be a small round piece of poo.

John Winthrop Street Fair

I forgot that we even went to this thing because it was so lame.  It was on Saturday and very cold outside.  This is essentially a street fair to bring in money for the this school.  

Laura getting ready to go on the inflatable moonbounce.

I don't know why but this kid in the yellow coat kept staring at me.  Maybe he was looking at the giant zit on my face.
Then we paid to get her face painted.  She wanted a butterfly.
Yeah, I totally agree with you Laura.  You could have done a better job filling in those lines.  

You can bet that we won't be coming back to this next year.

Doctor's visit

On Friday, I took Laura to her 4 year pediatrician visit.  

This is just before her blood draw.  There was a lot of drama and tears.
Laura got 5 shots and 2 nurses double teamed and shot up both arms while I used my body to hold her down.  They put bandaids on all 5 shots and Laura got a lollipop and 2 princess stickers.  I took her to JP licks for her favorite: Lemon sorbet.
Then to the playground where she seemed to have recovered uneventfully.

Green Jello

I didn't know that green jello was so exciting.

Rolling down the hill

Thomas' dad took some footage of Laura and Thomas from Larz Anderson park.
