First weekend, we headed off to KC for my high school friend's wedding. Laura Beachy became Laura Langdon. I managed to survive as the six-month pregnant bridesmaid. My date was good looking and we had a marvelous time catching up with all kinds of KC friends. Pal did a fabulous job entertaining the girls during the evening festivities. It was a marvelous event! Congrats Laura & Jesse!
Another EVV first, Fall Fest! This was a festival on the west side and hundreds of non-profit groups make all kinds of foods to sell as a fundraiser. We baked potatoes for the EDS school and managed to try all kinds of creative, fried food. The girls played a couple of game, Caroline and Ryan enjoyed the mini roller coaster, but best of all, we had a rock star parking space which enabled us easy access to all of the festivities!
And for our next weekend, we headed north to Chicago! The GNO crew got together on Saturday night, look at those darling faces below. But the reason for the trip was to cheer on Allie Allie in the Chicago Marathon. She had an excellent run on a beautiful Sunday in Chicago. She finished in 4.43 and we were able to catch her at multiple stops. Catherine Carr made t-shirts for all of us, so we were an easy cheering section to watch for as she raced past!
Finally, we headed east... to CT! Uncle Doug was getting married and the Palmer girls were the flower girls. Our kids had a great time playing with their cousin Kellan. He did a marvelous job as the ring bearer, and everyone managed to get down the aisle without any tears. The only issue of the day was the bee sting that Diana endured before the ceremony! With a little help from ice and Benadryl, she survived the day. However, her eye swelled overnight and the poor thing had a tough honeymoon with only one eye. At least they were in Napa, made the most of it! Congrats, we are thrilled to have Diana in the family.
