Congratulations, Jess and Tim!

This weekend, the little g-unit traveled to Western Massachusetts to celebrate my sister's wedding. It was a weekend of beautiful moments, happiness, and celebration. The bride looked gorgeous, the groom handsome. (Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the two right now.) And the very personalized, unique ceremony reflected the creative personalities of the couple. As a surprise to all of their guests-- including their parents-- Jess and Tim hired a bagpiper to play as they exited the ceremony. It was quite a stunning moment, one that will surely be remembered fondly by everyone present.

Henry will not remember it, but he too was pretty surprised by the beginning notes of the bagpipe. The little trooper was present for bits and pieces of the ceremony, this being one of them. (He also attended the rehearsal dinner, in his cute Williams t-shirt shown below. Go Ephs!) By the time the wedding reception rolled around, Henry was very tuckered out. He managed to hang in there pretty well, despite the evidence in the picture above. With the help of Brian's parents, Henry was able to chill out intermittently in quiet, which helped a lot. On Sunday night, he erased any doubt of the fact of his exhaustion, when he went to sleep for the night at 6:15! This has never occurred before. He woke up a few times during the night, but didn't awaken for the day until a full 12 hours later.

By this point (Tuesday evening), Henry appears to be fully recovered. Personally, I'm still feeling a little tired out by all of the events, coupled with the fact that Henry hasn't been exhibiting his super-star sleeping skills lately. It hasn't been too bad, but he's waking up at least once a night lately. Oh well, hopefully it's just a phase. A brief phase. Very brief...
