We made the 12 hour drive (it actually took a bit longer with nursing stops and such) to Oregon for my sister's wedding on May 30th. Fortunately, Emerson is still in the sleeping most of the day, wake up to nurse, and then go back to sleep stage so really the drive was not bad at all. We had so much fun visiting with family- enjoying pre and post-wedding festivities. My girls have the best aunties, uncles, and grandparents... all the way around. They were LOVING all the attention from everyone. We got to visit with our good friends too- Kaleb and Avery are just a few months apart, but Finley was the one glued to Kaleb's side. We took advantage of my dad's new fire pit (and endless Oregon summer evenings) and made smores.
The main event- Tiffany and Logan's (TT and Loggie Bear to my girls) wedding- turned out beautifully. The weather was amazing (which in Oregon is ALWAYS unpredicable). Tiffany was GORGEOUS and had the most adorable shoes! (<---click to see a few images from her amazing photographer)
The girls LOVED fullfilling their flowergirl duties, though there was some walking down the aisle issues... it turned into more of a RUN after the ring bearer took off. The ceremony was at my dad's house. It was the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding.
The party moved to a hotel in town, overlooking the river for the reception. The girls ended up falling asleep right after the ceremony, so they made a late entrance to the reception, but once they got there they hit the dance floor all ready to go. They REALLY love to dance. It was a fun time!
We had a great trip- it just went by too quickly. When it takes 2 days to drive up and 2 days to drive home, the actual visiting time is cut short. We are hoping to make another trip soon. There is really nothing better than Oregon summers.

Beautiful, Melissa! That's all I have to say... the girls, you, the bride, the setting, everything. What a lovely wedding! Your sister looks so happy, and I love her new hubby's uniform (how handsome!). I'm glad the trip went well. Take care!
