Wedding Weekend in NC

My great friend Emily wed my great friend Shelley's older brother last weekend, therefore Grant and I set out on a great adventure and his first trip to North Carolina! We flew into Raleigh on Thursday the 5th and I was overjoyed to be spending a week in North Carolina with family and friends. Finally, everyone was going to be able to meet my baby boy! Grant did beautifully on the plane ride, he slept the majority of the way there. We had a layover in Charlotte and arrived in Raleigh around 5pm. My mom and Jessica's Mom came and spent the night with all of us at Jessica's house Thursday night. Upon arrival, my Mom lost it. She had not seen Grant since he was three weeks old and it had been killing her. She cried more seeing him then than she did when he was born and/or when she left us to go back home. The seperation from her first Grandbaby has been very difficult, it was great to finally see her! We spent the night with Jessica, celebrated her birthday and early Friday morning I got ready for Emily's Bridesmaids Luncheon in Cary. Oh, the joy of seeing all of my friends after many, many months of just phone calls/emails. I miss my friends sooooo much. We had a great time at the luncheon, celebrated Emily's upcoming nuptuials and then I finally introduced them to Grant. He loved all the pretty ladies and I was so proud. Emily made a beautiful bride and she and her hubbie, Jason are the perfect couple. Overall, the weekend was wonderful and I forgot to mention how great it felt to get dressed up and venture out for a night with friends and know Grant was in good hands. It was good to be home.

Grant and I on the plane, everyone was so helpful. I anticipate traveling with him now is much easier than it will be in a year when he's mobile!
