McCoy Gets Some "Great" Lovin'

This past weekend, we went to Newport (Northeast Arkansas) for a good friend's wedding. McCoy was so excited because this is where two of his great grandmothers live and he had never been to visit them before!
We left Thursday night so we would have an extra long weekend to visit. Nanny was so excited to see us when we got there!!


Nanny was so excited to see McCoy on Friday. He loved watching basketball on her big TV!



"Who do you think is going to win?"


Why am I calling two different women the same thing?? That's what they both go by! However, to distinguish between the two, we call them White Nanny and Black Nanny because of they're hair color. Weird, I know, but that's what they've always gone by and it works!
Anyways, McCoy met lots of extended family and I am so disappointed that I didn't get more pictures. He did lots of smiling and laughing for everyone! Pop and Gigi were there, too, so there wasn't a minute when he wasn't being held or talked to!!

"Pop, you so crazy!!"
(That's for you, Dad!)

Saturday night all the big kids went to the wedding and White Nanny was the babysitter. She was dying for us to get out of the house!!

The girls before the wedding

The wedding ceremony was great! It was so personable and the music was phenomenal! We had a blast at the reception!

Mandy and James...the happy couple!

I ran into a blog buddy at the reception! Rachel V. was there with her husband, Richard. Come to find out, Richard is from Newport and he went to school with Mandy, the bride! We have known Mandy for forever!! Our families lived next door to each other before we moved to South Arkansas (I was only six months old) and growing up we always took family vacations together! What a small world! I can't believe I didn't get a picture!!

We had such a great weekend and we were so glad that McCoy got to spend some time with his great grandmothers!! He was definitely showered with some "great" love!!!

I love the wedding cake at the wedding - SO CUTE!
That's fun that you ran into a blogger! It's such a small world - I have a sneaking feeling I'll run into a blog friend every where I go.
