Wedding, Grandparents, & New HAIR!

Last weekend my friend from college, Heather, got married. I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid and part of her special day. Saturday night also we had a Russell family FIRST. Nick spent the night with Gramma and Grandpa! He did great, and Mommy survived! We are so lucky to have such supportive Grandparents. Nick is so loved with 4 grandparents and 5 Great-Grandparents! Saturday night he slept in his crib at Gramma's house and did great, slept all night long. I rushed over there first thing Sunday morning, but Saturday night, its a start!
