We are back from our big trip and amazingly have no embarrassing stories to tell. Carter was an absolute prince (as Mimi likes to say). We started very early Friday morning…our flight left at 6:30 in the morning. As tough as this was for mommy and daddy, it worked out great for Carter…he went right back to sleep on the plane. He traveled better than we could have expected.
We arrived in Kansas City 15 minutes before Mimi, her other precious grandchildren Robert and Jack, and their parents. I got a “knock-me-down” hug from Robert at the gate. Those are the absolute best! We met the Adam's aunt Marcia (aka the mother of the groom) for lunch at the Plaza. She is a big fan of Carter, Robert, and Jack so it was a treat to have some good time with her. We also got to meet the youngest member of the family, Isaac, who is only 5 weeks old. Hillary and Jason - he is precious!!!
The rehearsal dinner was at a very tasty barbecue restaurant. This was my third trip to KC and my third visit to Jack Stack…can you see a trend? Here is a picture of the newlywed couple at their rehearsal dinner:

Carter had his very own place at the table – place card and all. They even had these Infant Seat Cradles at the table so Carter could sit with us. After such and eventful day, Carter slept through most of the dinner.On Saturday we were hoping for some good hang out time with Carter’s cousins, but the boys’ nap times ended up falling back to back. Carter napped, then Jack napped, then it was time for Carter to nap again. Oh well. On our way back from lunch we ran into Robert and family. Here he is giving directions on where we should go next:
We all managed to make it to the church almost on time for pictures. We snapped a few ourselves before it was time for the professional picture with the bride and groom. Can you believe we got all 3 boys dressed and happy for a picture?
Here is a cute shot of Mimi with her 3 favorite grandchildren.
Aren't I the lucky one with these 3 handsome men? The groom...my adorable Carter...and my husband in a tux!
The reception was at a really cool club in downtown. Check out these fabulous table arrangements.
And, finally, the new Mr. and Mrs.

Congratulations Wes & Katie. We had a fabulous time at all of the festivities and are so excited for both of you.
Nice weekend. And good on Carter. And on Mom and Dad for getting everywhere they had to go and to get there on time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking group. I think that is the first picture I have seen of everyone. Good Shot! Glad you had such a great time. My best to Wes & Katie.
ReplyDeleteG.G. here. Thanks for putting so much effort into this with all the pix and all. I understand from Susan that Carter is quite the little man now. Looking forward to seeing him.
