What a weekend!!! It all started on Friday night when we attended services for my big brother's wedding blessing. My parents came into town to celebrate with everyone as well, which was nice. The blessing was beautiful and the Rabbi did a great job. His blessing was so personal and meaningful. He was the Yenta (Jewish Matchmaker), so he feels such pride that these two are tying the knot. After the blessing, he started on his sermon, which was based around a wedding theme as well. It made the blessing even more special and meaningful.
After services, we went to my brother's house for dinner. We returned on Saturday so that Grandma and PeePaw could play with the girls. Uncle and PeePaw watched the girls while we went for a bridal dress fitting. A looked gorgeous!!! It reminded me a little of getting ready for my wedding (almost 10 years ago!!). Then we hung at the house before we went to an engagement party for my brother.
Duh babysat for my girls, which was a nice treat. Big sister D was so excited and kept asking when she would be there. Little L was sleeping when we left, but woke right afterwards. Duh said the girls were easy and that she would babysit again, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, the girls tag teamed her and she didn't get to work on her college essays. Sorry Duh!
Today we ate at Bayley's for breakfast. Husband went home to work on things for his job and everyone else trekked out to Grapevine Mills Mall to look for a flower girl dress for D. After only three stores, we found our flower girl dress!!! D was great and played dress up very nicely. Then, we got shoes. So, D is all set to be the flower girl in December. We had a very productive and fun day with Grandma and PeePaw, Uncle and Ash.
Now, husband and the girls are off of school tomorrow and I still have to work. It is going to be hard to get out of bed with husband is still sleeping, but at least I only have to make one lunch for tomorrow!
