Busy weekend

As the title states, it has been a fairly busy weekend for me. Yesterday, had a morning photo shoot in Hutchinson, so I took Solomon with me to the gym and dropped him off at the "Kids Zone" while I worked out. They love him there b/c they don't get a lot of little babies, so it's kind of fun. I came back and Alex was home. His brother, Zach (Ray) was in town for a couple of hours. He and a friend were on their way to the KU vs. OSU game in Stillwater. We met them out for lunch at Cafe Asia, the site of our rehearsal dinner and a Thomas family favorite. We lunched with Zach, a Johnson County police officer and a Wichita Police Officer. Zach is a detective with the Lawrence Police Department. That was kind of interesting! :)
We went home and the rush began. I had to get Solomon to my parents' house and pick up a pumpkin so we could get to a wedding by 5:00pm. It seems like a lot of time, but I swear there's never enough time when you have to get a baby somewhere. It takes so much longer. Plus, I'm breastfeeding him, so I'm always trying to time it so I don't have to use up any of the supply I'm trying to store up for when I go back to work. By this time, Alex had been at the office of a local business that he does IT work for, for a couple of hours. He called me at around 4pm and asked if I could bring his wedding clothes with me and meet him at the church. That's what we did. He changed in the church parking lot downtown and we went to the wedding. It was a nice little old church. It was interesting b/c all but one bridesmaid, as well as the bride, was heavily tattooed. I expected this because the groom is a tattoo artist. I thought the tattoos were all pretty cool. The groom has done most of the work Alex has on his body. I was just smiling inside at what some of my more conservative family members would have thought if they had attended a wedding where so many pretty women had walked down the aisle tattooed. :)
The reception was at an older building called the "Twentieth Century Club". It's been there for decades, so it had a really nice older look inside. We were tired about an hour after we got there b/c frankly we were up early with Solomon. We just ate a lot of food b/c believe it or not, it was also catered by Cafe Asia!! Twice in one day! Good stuff. The cake was yummy too! We then headed to my parents' house to grab Solomon and watched most of the rest of the KU game on TV! I CAN'T believe they are 10-0. I never thought I would see that in my lifetime! The quarterback is now being talked up as a potential Heisman trophy candidate and if we keep winning, we could go to the national championship. Alex fell asleep on my parents' floor, so I nudged him and we headed home and put Solomon to bed.
Today, I let Alex take the 5:30 am shift when Solomon woke up. He actually woke up twice last night, but I know it's too good to be true for him to wake up only once forever! I went to the gym after breakfast while Alex watched Solomon and worked. Right now, Alex is at Sears getting new tires on our Element. I've been prepping the scene for a special picture we're going to take of Solomon. I don't want to spoil it in case it turns out really well, so I'll wait to tell you what it looks like after we've taken it. It's taken me a few hours to prepare. Solomon is asleep in his swing!! I'm read for a nap.
