Joe and I really can't be more proud of Reece, he was a great traveler all weekend long. After a few quick stops to stretch we pulled into the hotel in New Jersey by 1pm. Ah... it was nice to get out of the car. We relaxed and took a nap and then headed out to dinner with family. Looking back I now realize that this is the only time Reece slept! :)
On Saturday we had donuts with my brother Jamie and Melissa (our roomates for the weekend) and then met up with family to swim and chat around the hotel pool. Jonathan and Meg's wedding started at 3:30pm. The wedding was held in a picture perfect little town, Ridgewood, about twenty minutes from The City. Meg looked beautiful and Jonathan was as handsome as ever. Their fairy tale continued in a reception like no other! Talk about a PARTY!!! Appetizers were served and I swear I thought they were mistakenly serving the main course... Joe's favorite were the coconut shrimp the size of hockey pucks. When we finally made it into the dining hall, I was already stuffed... little did I know there was still tons of food to come. The night was so much fun..... well, it was fun for everyone that is except for Reece. While we were across the street from the hotel with loud music, dancing, and great food --- Reece was back at the hotel with a babysitter testing out his lungs. The poor little guy was exhausted and having some teething issues. Joe and I came back early in the evening to try and calm him down... he didn't really want us, but wanted Orajel. He was smiling before we were out the door. However that didn't last too long, we received a call around 9pm and he was screaming! The traveling had caught with him and he was exhausted... so I was off again towards the hotel. Luckily he was asleep before I made it back to the room. I happily rejoined the party. It was so great to spend the evening with family. Thank you Jonathan and Meg for a wonderful event! May God bless the two of you as you enter into this next phase!!
And let us not forget Father's Day! While we weren't celebrating in a great fashion (a long car ride is not what Joe had in mind) I would like to celebrate the amazing father Joe is. What a blessing to have a man who truly takes his role seriously. How thankful I am that we both have had such great examples of remarkable fathers. Thank you Dad for always being there for me. And my thanks goes out to Dad Davis for shaping Joe into the caring person he is. To all Fathers --- Happy Father's Day.
