Puter Time

Last week I went to Wes and Stacy's house and babysat my two favorite boys while Wes and Stacy went to a marriage conference. While Preston and I were eating breakfast, I opened my laptop and started checking my email. Preston said "I go get my 'puter' too. (Chuck and Sara bought a Thomas the Train computer for Preston for Christmas). So he gets his "puter" and puts it on the table. Absolutely adorable. He's pretty smart. The game he is playing is the alphabet game. It asks him to find the specific letters on the keyboard and press the right keys. It's amazing, but he knows his letters. Take a look. At the end he makes his funny face. I'm afraid he learned that from me. I make funny faces to make him laugh and I guess he caught on. Sorry Wes and Stace!

Lindsay & Gabe Arellano

After many many hours of preparation, the wedding weekend was finally here. Lindsay and Gabe did all of the planning for this wedding long distance and I can't believe how wonderful it was. All that hard work, Linds, really paid off.

Friday night started off a little shaky weather-wise. While we were at the Gardens, it started to sprinkle and we were a little concerned that the wedding day would be rainy.

We all had such a fun time at the rehearsal dinner which was at Carrabbas.

The wedding day turned out to be beautiful...but hot...very, very hot...and humid. Oh well, at least it wasn't raining. The wedding and reception were held at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, IN.

Gabe and Lindsay had all their pictures taken before the ceremony, so the photographers found a beautiful shady spot and took a lot of the pictures there. These pictures were taken by Wes who was our official family photographer. The pictures from the wedding photographer won't be ready for a while, but when they're ready, I'll post some of those.

A lot of Gabe's family flew in from California. Here's their family picture.

Don't have a family picture yet of the Lanings because our family photographer was part of the picture. We'll post that one later.

Lindsay with the guys.

Gabe with the girls.

Preston was the ring bearer and my neice's little girl, Lexie, was the flower girl. They were so adorable.

While they were walking down the aisle, Preston kept stopping and telling Lexie that she "dwopped the fwowers". He kept saying "you haffa pick dem up". It was precious.

At the reception.

Their first dance as husband and wife.

Let the party begin.

It's so hard to believe that the wedding is over. It takes months and months before the date actually gets there and then in a blink of an eye, it's over. They're married and you have the happy memories to cherish. Congratulations Gabe and Lindsay. We're so happy for you. May you enjoy a lifetime of memories to come. We love you.
