More Wedding Photo's, wedding anniversarys and such

My uncle Harry took sooo many pics of Ben and Bri's wedding and he NARROWED them down like 400! I keep looking and looking at them; I just love photos where everyone is just so happy! It was fun looking at them and thinking about our own wedding 4 years ago on the 8th and I was thinking how fast that time has gone. I haven't done anything with my own photos of like 800 from uncle Harry. So, I narrowed THESE down to less than 75- what a task! Here is a slide show of the event with lots of happy memories (and adorable Ethan shots!)

Pretty relaxed with Aunt Katie at rehearsal

Like I said, Brad and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! I love him so much! Thanks for the great years we have had Brad and the many more to come! Grandpa Bob and Connie came up on Thursday to babysit while we celebrated with a nice dinner and a movie. It was nice to get out for several hours alone and just a few texts checking in on Ethan! I am getting better at that though!

We had an appointment last Friday with the NICU docs up in the cities. They were impressed with his size (16lbs 10oz and 25 1/2inches) and said to treat him like a normal 'non-preemie' baby now! We had to chuckle because they gave us some 'workouts' to do with Ethan to strengthen his ab muscles- maybe concerned his belly is too big! Anyways, we will continue to work on the sitting up and the workouts they gave us. I was bummed when they said to limit his time in the jump-a-roo because they don't recommend babies to use those because it could delay walking. just when we had a great entertainment toy for the guy! Well, my mom said I lived in my walker and I walked just fine. So, I think we will still use it but be more conscious of how much time he is spending in there (it wasn't like he was in it all day, just nice to make dinner and get some jobs done for a bit). Off to another wedding this weekend in Holstein- excited to see friends we haven't seen in awhile!

I agree with the comment above - your dress at the rehearsal was really cute! And...Ethan will walk when he's ready. Audrey was a big jumperoo fan too, I don't know how I would've gotten things done without it!
