Catherine: With the wedding plans well underway I figured I should find a dress. There was a new bridal shop in the Chantilly Beach area so Allegra and headed out there.
I never thought Allegra would be as good at picking out dresses but she is.
Dress One
Dress Two
Dress Three
Dress 4
Larry asked me what the dress looked like, I told him that I had a hard time decideing between Dress three and four. "Three and four? That doesn't tell me anything!" Like I would tell him what my dress looked like.
I had a hard time deciding if David should walk me down the aisle, in the end it was Penny who walked in front of me. She said she wanted to make sure everyone was watching me walk down the aisle.
I always knew that Larry had swept me off my feet, but on our wedding day he really did.
Who knew I would be so happy to be married with a family. I don't think I've ever been this happy before.
What a wonderful family I have. We're going to have this photo put up on the wall at home.
Larry and I thought about having a honeymoon just the two of us but it just didn't seem right and Penny REALLY wanted to go to the beach. So to the beach we went.
Larry booked us into one of the nicer hotels on the island. A lot different fromt the last time I had been here during spring break.
I headed straight for the beach to work on my tan.
Larry and Penny headed straight for the water.
When the two water babies got hungry they came to get me so we could go for dinner.
We headed to the boardwalk for dinner. It was a nice relaxing way to spend the evening.
I had forgotten how amazing watching the fire dancers was. I think Penny and Larry really enjoyed it too.
The next day we headed to the south beach and the priate ship. We spend the whole day there. I got a little more sun while the other two played pirates.
It was getting dark before I could drag Larry and Penny away from the Pirate ship.
We went back to the hotel for dinner that night. Of all the things she could have for dinner all Penny wanted was spaghettie, she always want spaghetti.
It was a late dinner but a really nice way to end the day.
Penny and I where more tired than we realized. Larry let us sleep in that morning.
Then we went to the spa to relax for the day. I love the hot springs.
Penny found lots to do with the locals happy to talk to her.
When we got back to the hotel we left Penny making sandcastles on the beach.
We thought we would get a chance to have a little bit of a honeymoon.
Penny walked in at a very inopportune time. She was really grossed out.
Our last night on the beach we had dinner on the balcony of our room. Penny picked the menu... pancakes.
I woke up in the middle of the night starving hungry and grabed a snack from the all night kitchen.
It was hard to leave the wonderful holdiay we had. We will have to do another family vacation.
Back at home Penny kept going on about all the seashells she had brought back.
I consider myself to be a fun mother. I do spend time everyday playing with Penny... but Larry, he's just a big kid at heart.
He and Penny spend hours reading stories.
I don't think he's ever thought about having a son, not when Penny loves to throw a football around.
Penny is good about playing on her own as well.
Not long after we got home from vacation I found I was feeling nausea all the time.
It wasn't long before I was showing. Many years later I'm pregnant with our second child.
Penny is asking all sorts of questions about her coming sibling. She seems to think the baby will be like having a pet fish, I told her it's a bit different than that.
I've always been a fun loving person, when did I become the adult. I'm doing the gardening while the other two play!
We bought Penny a telescope to look at the stars. She would spend all night looking through it if she could.
Every night when I drag her in from the telescope she falls asleep almost before her head hits the pillow.
All too soon my little girl is having her birthday.

In the middle on Penny's birthday party I went into labor. Not quite the way I had planned things.
We've named our new little girl Jasmine. She brown eyes and blond hair.
Penny couldn't wait to hold her little sister. She didn't seem to mind that she now shared her birthday with her sister. She actually said it would make it all the better almost like they where twins.
When the family left that night they said it was one of the most special parties they had ever been too. My brother gave me a big hug. I haven't had a hug like that from him in years.
