The last time we traveled to Michigan (at Christmas), we had to deal with snow & ice storms, which delayed our travels a bit. This time, it was tornados. This picture was taken at sunset Friday night, just hours before the storms hit (the picture really didn't do it justice, though).
I'm so glad we were able to go to Grand Haven, MI for Andrew's wedding. It was so nice to see everybody, many of whom I haven't seen since before OUR wedding. So of course Madison was quite a hit. She just laughed and smiled at everybody, even the strangers we passed along the way. She handled the traveling a lot better than I thought she would. She's getting to the age where she doesn't like to sit still for long periods of time. She wants to move and stretch and play. She slept through most of the flight to Chicago. She didn't do to bad during the 3 hour drive to Grand Haven, either. We were thinking, though. With the time we spent driving to the airport, waiting for the plane (which was delayed), the flight, waiting for our bags in Chicago, getting the rental car, trying to figure out how to install the car seat (we should have just brought ours), dealing with Chicagoland traffic, and driving all the way to Grand Haven, we probably could have just driven from Independence. I think we only saved about an hour. Oh well. Although the travels may have been a bit stressful, it was nice to relax and spend time with my family. Here is a picture of Madison enthralled with the Tiger game.
The wedding was beautiful. Christie looked beautiful. I believe a good time was had by all. Hannah and her friend Chelsea watched Madison (and Seth) during the wedding. Mom kept Madison overnight. It was nice to have the night off. Madison didn't sleep very well while we were there. I think she just missed her bed. She was probably also a little over stimulated by all the new faces and attention. Of course she enjoyed every minute of it. She LOVES being the center of attention.

We were so thrilled that you were able to come! The only hard part about having so many family and friends gathered in one place at one time is that there's not enough time to visit with all of them as much as we'd like. Was that at the Grand Haven Pier?
Thanks so much for being there. It was a dream come true weekend.
