Wedding weekend in Madison, WI

Here are just a few of the many pictures I took over the weekend. We had a great time spending time with family and friends, the wedding was beautiful and the weather was perfect for John and Jacqui's ceremony.

One of the highlights of the wedding reception was watching Drake dance--he is so charming and has great rhythm! His dance moves consist of a mix of leg kicks, a form of break dancing (think hands on the floor while turning over in a circle), and some arm pops--all while keeping a very serious dance face. He was listening to the music intensely for variation because he had to make sure he applied the right "move" to the beats. During slow songs, Drake was a gentlemen and he would politely ask his cousin Taylor (also 3 years old) to dance with him, they were so cute! At the end of the night he was so tired, but who can blame him--he went after it for 2 hours!! I asked him where he picked up these dance moves... he thought about it, but instead of answering my question he proceeded to describe each move and what he does while dancing; perhaps I should have rephrased the question! No matter what, Gordon and I are very proud of him and thought he was adorable!

Baby Bump Photos

Everything has been progressing nicely with the pregnancy, I feel great and my energy level is back to normal. Our baby girl started moving around and giving me little kicks in there, I don't mind a bit though--they are just cute little reminders that she is growing inside of me. Gordon took some new photos of me and my baby bump yesterday, here we are at 24 weeks!

Also, we painted the nursery--you can see the before and after by looking at my baby bump photos at 19 weeks in this posting: It's a Girl
