We had planned to attend Jeannette and Fredric’s wedding on Saturday, so we arranged a babysitter to watch the boys.  Mollie (the boys’ ex-teacher) arrived just right before 3:30pm, and it took just a few minutes to orient her to the house and the boys’ routine.  Logan seemed excited to see Mollie and started bringing different toys to ask her to play.  Connor on the other hand was very nervous and was hiding from her.  He even spent a couple of minutes on his bed on the verge of crying.  He came holding onto my hand and dragged me toward the door hoping that he could leave with us, then he did the same thing with Stuart too.  He then broke out crying as well.  Stuart and I just said goodbyes quickly and left to avoid dragging out this separation for Connor.  Mollie did text me shortly later to tell us that Connor was fine after we left and played Legos with Logan and her.

     We arrived at the winery in Pleasanton in good timing.  We chatted with Theresa and Martin who were there first, then the rest of our friends/coworkers slowly arrived.  The ceremony was held in the courtyard; it started a bit late, but it was lovely.  Afterward we got our drinks, Stuart and I took a break inside the winery.  Shortly after group photos with the bride and groom, the reception hall opened up for everyone.  We enjoyed the nice meal and company of everyone at our table (Michelle, Ted, Theresa, Martin, Julie, Erika and Victor) while watching the wedding entertainment.  We also had fun at the photo booth and loved the photos.  We waited until the cake cutting was completed and the open dancing started before we left to drive home.

      Mollie had texted me at 8:30pm to inform us that the boys were sound asleep.  When we arrived home before 11pm, she told us that they had a good time playing together.  They played with water in the backyard, and played with toys in different rooms.  They enjoyed pizza for dinner while watching TV.  When she suggested that it was time to start the bedtime routine Logan was sad that the evening was ending; he later told her that he wished to see her again.  Connor was a bit sad without us at bedtime, but both boys went down to sleep without any complaints.  We were happy that our first babysitting of both boys went very well.
