Last Friday, Grace and I headed north for "Great Nana's" wedding and what we thought would be a long weekend. The wedding was scheduled to start at 1:30pm (Grace's naptime) so I was a little apprehensive about how she would behave! All the great-grandkids were supposed to walk down the aisle together and look for Papa so they would know where to sit. I'm happy to report that Grace did great and even lead the pack for part of the way! After a short ceremony and A LOT of smarties, we headed to the reception where we lasted all of 10 minutes. It was 3pm by that time, and Grace was DONE! She was asleep by the time we drove all of 2 miles!! Here are some pictures of the wedding weekend.
We stopped by Laura and Brent's house on our drive into Bloomfield and played for a couple hours. Grace LOVED her first ride on Jack's four-wheeler! Jack absolutely loves Grace and it is SO cute! He even gets this high-pitched voice when he talks to her....hilarious! By the time we left, Grace had a goodie bag and half of Jack's toys!
Here are a couple pictures of us getting ready to go to the rehearsal and wedding. Grace was already exhausted!!
Grace also had a new buddy during our visit.....Uncle Matt. She discovered his iPhone that played "The Wheels on the Bus" song which she LOVES!! That was a big hit with her to say the least!
On Sunday evening, we received news that Grandma Gentry passed away. She was almost 94 years old! This lady was one great cook! While Matt and I were dating, I always heard about how good Grandma Gentry's cooking was. I got to sample some of that cooking on a few occasions, and they were right! Her health had deteriorated over the last several years, and it's nice to know that she is finally at peace. Matt made the trip north for the services, and we headed back to Knoxville Thursday morning. While the circumstances obviously weren't ideal, we did get to stay in Bloomfield and visit with our family for a few more days which was nice.
Hopefully our next visit will be on a much happier note!!
