Craig & Shantelle's Wedding

The professional wedding pictures have been posted to the Richards Photography website. The address is www.drichards.exposuremanager.com After you click on the Hoopes Wedding album it prompts you for the password. Just enter the date of the wedding. Be prepared...there are 20 pages of pictures. I don't know how they are going to decide which they want. You are also able to order pics from the website if you would like. These are some of the pics that I have collected so far. Hopefully more to come! If anyone reading this has pics from the wedding can you email them to me at stacersrn@yahoo.com. Thanks so much! I would like to make Craig and Shantelle a little album of pics!

18 Months!!

Guess who had her 18 month check-up on October 4th? (she will be 19mo on oct.10th) She weighed 23lbs and 12oz.(45%) She was 33" long which the Dr. said is in the 85th percentile. Andrea has always been short for her age so we are going to have to investigate that. She is definitely above target for what she should know at this stage. The nurse asked if she knew 8-10 words....come on....my daughter?! All she does is talk :) She knows over 50 words at least. Yesterday she even said a 3 word sentence.....I braked it. Not the first sentence you want to hear but... The nurse also asked if she could call 2 things by name. Yeah I wish. She can point to just about anything...name it...and ASK FOR IT! :) The only question I couldn't answer was, Can she stack 2-3 blocks? Honestly, we had never tried. So we came home and of course she can. So for a 1 and 1/2 year old we are doing great!! The only bad part of the appt. was the 2 shots that she needed to get. She screamed so loud but after about 2 min. she was good! Now we just need to get her to walk down the aisle for Craig and Shantelle's wedding this weekend. Many pictures next week of the wedding!
