grandma carole gets married

Earlier this month Grandma Carole got married. She is very happy with her new husband, Chuck Miller. Which makes her Carole Miller... "wow that's my grandson's last name" as she told Chuck when they met.

The wedding gave Jude a chance to see his Uncle Todd for a few days, and also his cousins Roxanne and Cyler from Arizona. The wedding weekend also gave Greg a chance to play Mr. Mom as Kara was engaged with singing in the wedding, serving as a bridesmaid and giving a toast at the reception.

The wedding theme was black and white, allowing Uncle Todd and Kara to look spiffy in their black attire.

The rehearsal the night before was filled with a few laughs and a few serious moments as they practiced their vows. Sadly Jude was Mr. No Nap that afternoon. He missed rehearsal to get some sleep before the rehearsal dinner that evening.

Uncle todd's silly face

Jude did just OK over the wedding weekend. We did manage to get him into a cute baby 'suit' complete with bow tie. Unfortunately the photo below with mom and dad had a sort of pleasant expression. But the formal photos where grandma tried to hold him are just a wreck.

I'm sure we'll laugh in 20 years at his scared little face. Poor baby was just tired and overwhelmed i think. Jude looks forward to many future visits with grandma carole & chuck where we are sure he will have plenty of smiles for them.
