Our BIIIIIIG Road Trip!

Probably our biggest event of the summer was our big trip to upstate New York for my best friend Lindsey's wedding. It was the first time that Caelan was going to be in the car for such a long trip, as well as, away from home for such an extended period of time. My mom, Caelan, and myself left in our rented HHR on Monday and headed up the road to help prepare for the wedding. When traveling with a baby, one should expect an added 30-45 minutes per 3 hours for eating, diaper changing and general "stretching of the legs". This really adds up when you are traveling. With that said, Caelan did awesome! He slept in the car when he was tired and played with toys (and hands) when awake. Caelan loved all the attention he got from everybody while we were up there and did really well being passed from person to person. His napping did take hit, but let's be honest, it was never really that good in the first place.




Here is how Caelan helped with the favors, flowers, and other wedding preparation!

When it came to the actual wedding, Caelan did equally awesome.

I can't explain how special this time was. Our adorable boy as the first of a new generation of love. Having known the parents of the bride for over 30 years, it was a joy to be a part of this wedding - like marrying off another daughter. Everything & everyone was beautiful although it was hard work.

I realize I had forgotten what it was like to not get a full night of sleep! Ugh - a reminder of why you have babies when you're young. However, I wouldn't have missed this for the world...every moment was precious (especially when Caelan & I broke the rules about where he sleeps on the 3rd interrupted night).

love, Mom/Grandma
