Aunt Megan's wedding

My baby sister was married November 1st - our little baby is all grown up... she is so pretty. We love our little Mega Dega. This is Megan with all the girl grandchildren. My mom made all these beautiful dresses.
Aren't they gorgeous girls! Avery (Kelly's in orange), Abby & Molly (Josh's in green), Ashley & Lexli (Joey's in gold), Grace (Jared's in purple)

James standing apart from the crowd.

My girls with my baby sister.

Sunny - maid of honor & our beautiful bride.

The sister's - Mare, Sunny, Allison, Megan, Kelly & Leslie.

Leslie & Jimmy with their 3 crazy boys (Jackson, "Yum-yum" William, and Tommy)

Kelly & Lloyd with their kids (Ethan, Aidan & Avery)

Jared & his kids - (Jordan, Michael, and Grace)

Joey & his two - (Alexis & Ashley)

Josh & Alea & their girls (Molly Mae & Abby Lynn)

Megan made these flowers for all the girls hair (ALL the girls - including all of her sisters)

Paige & Maren - bff's (I can wish, right?)

The Happy couple - Dyson (Tyson) and Megan Rose

My little sugar being passed around and kissed all over the entire reception.

Avery, Molly Mae & Grace - such pretty girls.

The table arrangements - made by me... yes, darling I know - they rock!

big sisters & baby brothers - Aidan, Avery, James & Paige

The scrumptious cakes made by Kelly - aren't they loverly?

The bride's parents (empty nester's, yeah right!) - bitter sweet... happy to see their baby with Dyson, but sad to watch her grow up.

My mom & sister came up with this crazy idea of draping plastic across the ceiling. I thought they were crazy, but it turned out amazing. Also, they did this reception on next to nothing & it turned out amazing.

Dyson - my new brother in law. Does he fit my crazy family or what? He is funny & even though Josh laughs a little too hard at his jokes... he is a keeper.

My dad & my baby girl... two favorites in one picture. LOve them! I stood across the room and watched him talk to her and look into her eyes. I'm so glad that Abbey has a great dad to raise her. They make all the difference in the world.

Avery caught the bouquet toss. Watch out Kelly She looks a little too happy about it.

And lastly "the cake fight" - is that how most receptions end or just ours?

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

Image
The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we...

Sunday's child...

Image
Gavin or Abbey ? Barring any miracles... our new baby is scheduled to arrive on Sept 21st - not sure the approximate time. But this would make Buchanan Baby #3 a Sunday's child. I always liked the days of the week child poem and it will be interesting to see if it plays out with the personality of our new addition. Does it apply to the already established members of our family? Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. Paige Paige was born on July 9 th - she is a Tuesday's Child. Paige is full of grace . Grace means: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic. A pleasing appearance. Ease and suppleness of movement or bearing. Paige is charming and has possesses numerous wonderful traits. J...

a Christmas wish answered... come September

Image
So anyone who hasn't heard yet... yes. The Buchanan's are going to have a baby come this September. I'm not sure how it happened (yeah. I get the mechanics... I do have 2 kids) - But it's just that Jason & I don't really see too much of each other and after an exausting day of work, school, being on call, preschool, doing homework, research for thesis, paying bills, sewing group, YW, and kids, all you really have energy for is sleep. So I really think I give credit to Paige for this one. She has put in countless hours praying, wishing, and begging for a baby for the longest time. All her hard work millions of wishes on stars and countless letters to Santa apparently paid off. (She's got a lot of clout with the bearded fella - so if you want something for next year you might want to bribe her early to include it in her letter(s)). That's it... I'm eight weeks and thrilled. We'll keep praying that everything goes smoothly & the baby is heal...
