Family Visit and Wedding

This past weekend, we made a trip to Austin and Gatesville to visit my family and go to one of my best friend's weddings. We left Friday afternoon, and headed to Austin first. We stayed at my sister Carol's house. She was very excited to have us come in because she hadn't met the babies yet. My mom and sister Claire also drove in from Lubbock to visit with us - and to watch the babies on Saturday night while we went to the wedding. Another fun surprise was that my brother Jon, his wife Amber, and their two kids made it in to Austin too for the night. (They had been in New Braunfels, and decided to make a pit stop on their way back to Midland!) Here are a few pictures!

On Saturday, we had a really nice lunch on the lake before Jon and his family had to leave. We went back to Carol's house to feed the babies - and repack all of our stuff! Then we hit the road for Gatesville to our hotel. As soon as we arrived, my friends Kelli, her husband Andrew, and my friend Ashley were getting out of their car too. It was great getting to see them - and to have the room right next to them so we could visit! We relaxed a little bit before getting ready for Janae's wedding. The babies were in pretty good moods - considering the amount of driving we had already done.. But we went ahead and had my mom and Claire start feeding them early because we didn't think they'd be happy waiting until their usual bedtime feeding. I was happy to get a text from my mom not long after we left telling us that the feeding went great, and that the babies were sound asleep. The wedding itself was great. It was so nice getting to see some familiar faces and to reminisce on some old memories. Here are a few pics from the wedding:

The next morning, the babies had a photo session. Janae and her new hubby Daniel stopped by to meet the babies, and we had to get some pictures with Grandma! Here are a few of those shots!

Needless to say, we had quite a busy weekend and although we had fun, we were happy to be home. I think the babies agree, and I am happy to say we are back on our regular schedule! :) To wrap up this already long post, here are two GREAT shots of our car ride home.
