This Is What Love Looks Like: Congratulations to Brian and Colleen Cullen!

After a full decade of dating, my dearest G (Colleen) and Lonnie (Brian) finally got married last Sat., Nov. 7th. I was so happy and honored to be a bridesmaid and share in their very special day! The greatest part about the entire weekend was having the opportunity to see so many friends from Dayton that we have not seen in so long. Jay and I often talk oh so fondly about Dayton while we reminisce about the good ole days. We always agree that one of the most wonderful things about Dayton people is that you may not see someone for years (literally 10 years in this case!) and still be able to pick up exactly where you left off. Everyone is so social and always happy to see a familiar face. It was absolutely wonderful to see so many friends and get caught up on their lives.

What also made this past weekend so wonderful was that Jack had the opportunity to spend some quality one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa Heidemann. We are SO VERY GRATEFUL to them for coming to Chicago to care after our Little Man for the weekend so that we could celebrate with Collen and Brian in Cleveland! Jay and I received a report from Grandma and Grandpa that Jack was absolutely darling the entire weekend. He went for several walks, watched his new Blue's Clues DVD's, snuggled with his new VERY OWN little pillow, and even played catch! Jay was happy to hear that he was practicing his throwing skills since we think Jack is going to be left handed...and Daddy has very far fetched dreams of his son one day becoming a left handed pitcher for the Cardinals....hmm, we will have to see about that:) Thank you so much Rich and Jan! Jack just adored seeing you and he cannot wait to do so again in 2.5 weeks for Thanksgiving in St. Louis!

We are so very fortunate to have such wonderful friends and grandparents in our lives. You all made this weekend so special!
