Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day weekend (and the week leading up to it) ended up being super crazy and fun and full of family activities! On September 1st, Nate and Halie got married. Since they were in town for a week before the wedding, it was full of family activities, showers and parties! We got in a lot of family time. Aunt Heidi was here from Boston as well- which the boys really loved. This was also Chase's first real week of school, so there was a lot of excitement (and late nights) going on at our house!

The wedding was beautiful and the boys were the cutest ring bearers there ever was. Hudson was fairly uncooperative all day (like we changed him at the venue from his PAJAMAS that he refused to get out of all day into his little suit- at 5:00 pm), and luckily they had a "kid room" at the venue where he could play with toys, watch a movie and eat brownies to his little hearts content! Chase went back and forth between the dance floor, greeting various guests, and the kid room. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few I got. 

 Saturday and Sunday of that weekend we got together as a whole family again (minus the honeymooners) and had two BBQs and hung out all together. By the time we got to Monday, the actual holiday, we were all exhausted and kind of partied out. I wanted to do something to make Labor Day at least a little special and unique, so we went on a hike. My mom and Heidi joined us and we had a great time!

As fun as it was to have family in town and multiple nights of parties, it was nice to get back to our normal routine. Now we are in the groove of school for Chase and preschool for Hudson! We started a little co-op preschool, and I'm teaching for September and October. Right now we only have three kids (we are still hoping we will find another kid or two to join) and it's been really fun. Hudson has thrived and is learning a lot. He learns so differently that Chase does, which has been fun for me to figure out.

Here he is on his first day of preschool- my baby is growing up!
