Early pick up

Daddy surprises Schuyler at school for an early Charlie run.

Destiny and Ayara make Schuyler's Daddy take their pic.

I just thought I'd capture Schuyler's artistic output for posterity.

Bike

Charlie likes the bike.  Not just the bike, but the helmet that goes with it.  He always makes me wear it.  Inside the house.  It's not the most happening fashion accessory I can think of but it keeps him quiet.  So when I put him on the actual bike himself, he was pretty thrilled.  Only 14 more years and he'll be riding one himself!

the reception

"You should really eat something, Schuyler!"

"Lucy, let me tell you what I've learned about marriage..."

"No, go THIS way!"

Beautiful.

Trystan and Schuyler in Footloose 3

Schuyler shows that, no matter how ill she is, she's gonna dance, darnit!  If only to show off her newly painted toenails!

Lucy wedding 2

L to R: Skyla, Lucy, Trystan, Stef, and Schuyler... Schuyler was thrilled to meet an older girl with almost her name.

My best friend's wedding

Schuyler and Trystan lead the procession for Lucy's wedding.

The blushing bride herself.

Schuyler and Trystan are more interested in the sand than the binding of two lives and souls.

heading to the wedding

So we almost didn't make it to Lucy's wedding where Schuyler was a flower girl.  Schuyler was still pretty darn sick from the Somersfield Plague and Papa was a right mess right up until we got in the car.  He took a lot of medication and caffeine and soldiered through.  She, well, she just soldiered through because, hey, that's the kind of girl she is and it's Lucy's wedding, darnit!

The wedding was on Paget Island in St. George's Harbour and just a lovely setting and venue as you shall see in subsequent posts.

Yum!  Doughnut holes!
