Karen and Andrew's Wedding

Peter's brother Andrew got married last Friday. Katie watched Brita for us while we were in the temple. Brita cried a lot. Katie had never taken care of a baby that little before and was almost crying by the time we got out. Another lady came over and held Brita for Katie. I remember babysitting and having no idea what to do and feeling totally helpless. I feel bad for having put Katie in that situation. We were running really late to the wedding and I think if we had more time to get Katie comfortable with Brita it would have been better. I guess I'll know next time.

The wedding was really nice. I'd never been to a wedding in the temple other than my own before. It was really neat. I liked that we had done sealings a few days before, so that everything was fresh in my mind.

They had a dinner that night. It was fun and the food was really good. We were at a table with Andrew;s adviser, his former boss, and a guy that used to work in the CS department. It was pretty computer heavy--especially when Evan joined the table part way through the meal. It was fun, though. Brita got passed around (in the words of Monica) like a party favor.

Brita got her picture taken with Karen and Andrew.

I am back from my Christmas break now. Not that I went anywhere - I'm just back to checking things on the computer. I tell you this so you know I'm watching and commenting again. I love the pictures (I refer to all but particularly to the blessing ones)! And feel bad for Katie (whoever she is) though I'm sure she'll recover.

Don't feel too guilty. Joseph is just beginning to accept that people other than Mommy are allowed to hold him. He cried/cries a lot and I don't know what I would do different to make the situation better.

Fun that you could go to a temple sealing and get that reminder!
