The wedding and the baby!! (Gratefully not on the same day!)

I thought you all might like to see some pictures of Leah and Matt's wedding and some pictures of the new baby in my family! I thoroughly enjoyed being able to be here to support Leah and Matt as they got married and then to sit in the hospital and see baby Reese a few minutes after she was born!
















Reese just a few minutes after she was born. (Thanks to Mary Rosenbaum for this amazing picture!)














Ryan, Britt, and Reese! (Again, thanks to Mary for the picture!)




















"Gramma," "Grandpa," Ryan, and Reese















Aunt Alyssa, Uncle Luke, Ryan and Reese!














Me trying to calm her down!














Luke carrying all the bags like a good man!













Ryan rolling his baby down to her new room at the hospital!




















Yay! Baby Reese!














Brittany and I before she had Reese!













Aunt Kay and I in the waiting room at the hospital! Anxiously awaiting the birth of that sweet little baby...














Enjoying the cafeteria food in the hospital...there were many good restaurants in the area, but Ryan wanted the experience of eating in the hospital! I don't think I have ever seen him eat so fast as he was going back upstairs to be in the room with Brittany in labor and try to finish his law applicataion all at the same time!














Luke and I in the waiting room!













NOW into the WEDDING pictures!!!
