My Sweet Baby

Also, when we went up to NC for Meggsie's wedding, I got to spend some precious time with my nephew Mason. He is 4.5 months old now...wow time flies! He is so adorable and is really starting to respond to his environment and I think he really likes his Aunt Lauren (and Uncle Garin)!

Getting ready for bed with Aunt Lauren (Mommy scares me when she gets the camera out)

Uncle Garin likes to copy me and my faces

Aunt Lauren makes me laugh!!! (I was laughing so hard that I didn't get my "camera" face)

Yes, I am a cool little man...check out my hot dino outfit! (Dude, he LOVED these sunglasses!)

Yummy...I found my thumb!!

Aunt Lauren and I had so much fun playing together. Aunt Lauren sure is gonna miss me when she is gone...hopefully Mommy will take me to see her down in FL sometime soon!

Welcome to the Family Eli

Over Labor Day Weekend we had the opportunity to go back to good ol' NC and be a part of Garin's sister Meghan's wedding. She wed her (now) husband at 11AM on Saturday Sept 5th on the roof top of the Holiday Inn in downtown Charlotte. It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!


Eli is currently serving in the Army as a 1st Lieutenant. He will be leaving to serve our country over in the Middle East in December. So please remember this precious couple in your prayers as they embark on a new life together and as they spend much of their first year of marriage separated as they follow the call of duty and serve our country!


Here are some pictures I snapped:

Newly married couple secrets!

What a beautiful couple! Yes, Eli is very tall...6'5". I look like a dwarf next to him! Fortunately Meghan is 5'10" so it works out well! Love the dress!

Sweet moments during the first dance.

The Cake. Beautiful! Garin's aunt made this cake (she also made ours for our wedding). She is sooo talented...and not only does it look good, it tastes amazing!!

My cameo with the Bride.

Off they go to the Honeymoon! (That's dental floss that is creating the web all over the inside and outside of the car...very clever!)

Well, welcome to the Kirkpatrick family Eli. We look forward to many fun family times in the future with you. We will be praying for you guys and we can't wait to see how God is going to bless you in your marriage! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day, it was beautiful!
