Uncle Jon and Aunt Andrea!

Matt's brother, Jonathan, got married just 2 days after Hannah turned 11 months. We drove to St. Louis on Thursday for all the wedding festivities starting on Saturday. We stayed with our friends, Josh and Jenny, who graciously offered (or accepted our request) to watch Hannah for both the rehearsal dinner and the reception! We are so incredibly thankful for them!!! On Friday, Matt played golf with his brothers and nephews while Hannah and I hung out at Grandma's house. Hannah got some great time with her cousin Andrew. He taught her how to stir and mash things in some pots that Grandma let her play with. It was so cute to watch them play together. Hannah just really loved Andrew!!! Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner and had a great time! Hannah was not thrilled with me leaving her at Josh and Jenny's, but they eventually settled her down and got her to sleep. Saturday Hannah joined me at the wedding. She was so cute in her little dress (my niece Molly Ryan wore it to my brother's wedding), and was just hamming it up for the photographers and waving to everyone! It was great to be able to introduce Hannah to family that we don't often get to see. She did well for the wedding, but really wanted Daddy when she saw him walk down the aisle and stand at the front of the church. Cheerios saved the day and distracted her enough to keep her mostly quiet through the ceremony. It was a beautiful wedding and we could not be happier for Uncle Jon, and are excited to have Andrea officially in the family!! I took Hannah back to Josh and Jenny's after the wedding, and left her again for the reception. Luckily she only cried for a few minutes and they had a great evening with our sweet little one! Matt and I had a wonderful time at the reception celebrating with the beautiful bride and groom! Because of Hannah I really didn't take many pictures, but here are the few that I have!
