Wedding fun in Martha's Vineyard


Me, Erin, Laura, Kristin, Nell, Janinne and Katie
At the end of September, I was so excited to go to Martha's Vineyard for a long weekend to celebrate the wedding of my good friend Katie to her partner Kelly.  All of my college roomies were attending the wedding and we were all looking forward to getting together. Since Emily was only two months old, she was making the trip with me.  However, Drew and Katie were going to stay home since Drew had school.  I left on a Thursday and came back Sunday so Mom and Dad came to Maryland to help out while Andy was at work.   Of course Drew and Katie loved having Grandmom and Poppy with them!

I arrived in Boston and was met by Janinne and her son James!  I was so excited to see James since I hadn't seen him since he was just a few weeks old.  James seemed huge next to Emily!  It was so strange for me to not have Drew and Katie with me, but I loved being able to spend all my time with Emily and my friends.  Kristin arrived from Colorado and the two of us (plus Emily) stayed at Janinne's house in Boston the night before we left for the Vineyard.

Once we arrived to Martha's Vineyard, we met up with Erin from California, Nell and her husband Brian from California and Laura and her boyfriend Aaron from Boston.  We were so lucky to be able to stay at Aaron's parents house on the Vineyard. It was really nice to just hang out and talk.

The morning of the wedding we went for a walk on the beach. Me and Emily, Laura and Nell.

Katie looked so beautiful!

The happy couple!  The sun broke through the clouds just before their ceremony was about to begin.

Janinne's parents had a room at the  Lambert's Cove Inn, which is where the ceremony and reception took place.  It was perfect! Janinne and I just ran back and forth checking on the babies and nursing them as needed.
Janinne's parents sat on the front porch, rocked Emily and James and enjoyed the beautiful night.  





Even the kids came out and danced a little.
