We had a blast this weekend in Virginia at Olevia and Durell's wedding, and boy was it a wedding. If you read the book by Emily Post (i believe that is her name) about how a wedding should properly go, this wedding was the example in the book. It was so nice, and the reception was a blast. I was totally a nervous wreck through the entire service though, Owen didn't make a peep of course but Maggie was totally sleep deprived and I was just waiting for her to bust out to yell at Amanda or something (who was in the wedding). Anyhow, mom and Tres took her and stood in the back so she could be easily removed if needed but she did great. The reception was Maggie's favorite part and she danced non stop for probably 2 hours. We could not get her away from the dance floor.
TJ (my little cousin) joined her the entire time for dancing and stole the show several times.
They had so much fun dancing and of course Amanda and Tres were out there showing all of thier moves. We didn't leave there until close to 11 that night and Owen of course was out by
8 or so and slept the entire evening. It was so nice to get to see the whole family and spend the weekend with them. Maggie also made a new best friend in her cousin Gracie who is 5. 
She followed her around and wanted to do whatever she was doing so they had alot of fun playing. It is hard to tell when we will all be together again like that with us going to Germany and amanda and tres on the cruise so we attempted to get a picture of all of the great grandchildren but Maggie was not in a very cooperative mood. We got one but she of course is crying hysterically. She is totally not into getting her picture taken anymore, so I knew that is what she would do. She was so exhausted by that point and had been good that I didn't really care so much, it probably got on everyone else's nerves more than me. After the reception we headed back to the hotel to have a surprise birthday party for mom with, of course, more cake! She was totally surprised....Happy Birthday Mom! This week is time to rest up and visit a little more to people close by before heading home on saturday. Joe's flight gets in saturday around 8 or 9pm so we hope to get to the airport to meet him. Maggie will be so happy to see her daddy. She is talking so well now and repeats everything we say. We were in the living room yesterday and she gave me a toy of hers because the tail had fallen off of it. I sat it aside and said, "what a piece of junk." She grabbed it and tossed it and repeated, "ole piece of junk." It was so funny, mom and I cracked up. Well, I am out of here to go return some things up town. Maggie and Mom are headed out to see Mama Sue and Papa Whitey while Owen goes with me.
