Alex and Amanda's Wedding Ceremony

Alex and Amanda's Wedding Ceremony: http://www.formylobster.com/default.aspx The wedding was gorgeous! It was at the Indiana State House in Downtown Indy. Look below in the photo, the wedding party was lined up for the receiving line. The pictures are in reverse.
Josh looked quite snazzy in his tux!

Amanda's dress was really pretty and had a ton of beadwork!

Josh is in the middle of the guys.

I had to get a picture of me at the Statehouse too!

Claire had a ball running around the great big open areas at the rehearsal and before the ceremony. Look at the floor in this one. You can see her reflection!

Claire enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies as well. I think the building is so pretty with all the stone! It really reminded me of being in Europe.

The ceiling was so stunning. The ceremony was directly below this stained glass.

That is Josh up there on the third floor! They were doing pictures up there.

Children's Museum in December

Claire and I went to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis with some of our friends. Every winter they have "Jolly Days" where they make everything all wintery.


We went with a friend of mine from teaching. She teaches Orchestra and since I taught German we were both in the "extra-curriculars." Here we are waiting to go down the slide.

They turned the stair case into a slide! WHEE!

They also have a really cool water clock in the lobby. If you haven't been here yet, you need to go sometime!

Here we are riding down the slide:

Now for the Merry-Go-Round! They had Christmas music playing for it today!

Claire didn't like sitting on the horse, so I put her back in my carrier!

There were a lot of people at the museum the day we went!



This is the little Cookie Cafe that they had near the Santa. We didn't stand in line to see Santa as the line was way too long!

Claire tried to hand stuff to random strangers! HAHA! I was sitting right there, though.

This is the big oven where kids could pretend to bake cookies, muffins, and other goodies.

This is the ultimate play kitchen!





Here is a large dollhouse! It's taller than both of the girls! They have tons of fun things for the kids to play with!

I don't think I got a single picture of Claire looking at the camera all day! There was too much for her to see!

Then we were off to play in the sand. Claire didn't eat a single grain! Yay!




She had fun, but kept throwing the sand onto the floor!

We decided to avoid the water table area today as there was no way they were going to keep their clothes dry!

Claire has never played with sand before today. She had a ball. Maybe we need to get her a sandbox this summer?

They have an area where babies can open and shut drawers and doors and turn off and on light switches and press buttons to make things light up.



Here is one of the slides in the PlayScape area:

Yay for fishies!

And let's not forget the dinosaurs in the Dinosphere! Grr!

Here are Kristen and Abby who is 22 months.

We had a really fun day! Yay for the Children's Museum!
