final road trip

Two weekends ago we made our final trip before Mini Meyer (aka baby brother) joins our family.  We were invited to attend the wedding of one of my old Young Life guys in Jeff City.  We drove straight from KC to the 3PM Saturday wedding and as a result Everett and I needed to change clothes.  There wasn't a good place to change before getting to the church so Everett and I decided to play it classy and change in the car in a gas station parking lot across the street from the church.

Everett did a very good job of staying quiet and being a good listener at the wedding.  Here he is with his beautiful momma.

In the down time between the wedding and reception we were able to do two things that I love to do while in JC: get ice cream at Central Dairy and see my Grandma Luebbert.  Everett had just eaten dinner because we didn't know if he would make it to 6:30PM for the reception, hence he is shirtless here.

We had to bribe Everett with ice cream (which we were going to give him anyway) to get a good smile for this pic.

After Granny's house we headed down 54 to Donita's to celebrate with the newlyweds.

Why not color under the table rather than on it?

I wish this pic wasn't blurry, silly cellphone camera.

E even got to enjoy a little soda (which never happens)

It was an awesome time and we are so happy for Brian and Taylor.  To cap off the night we headed to the house of our good friends the Fitzpatricks.  This was the first time since our lake trip this summer that E was sleeping in a big boy bed away from home.  We were a little nervous how this would go since the lake was a sleeping nightmare challenge.  It went so well and it was so good to see Kay and Craig and catch up.

To wrap up our time we headed to the Crossing (our old church in Columbia) Sunday morning.  I think we managed to run into just about everyone we could have hoped to see while we were there.  After that we had brunch with my bro and his family and then headed back to KC.  It was a full 24 hours but it was so good in so many ways.  

As of today we are 4 weeks away from Bonnie's due date.  It is crazy to think that really this little guy could be here in a matter of weeks!
