the bearer of the rings

While certainly not the only note-worthy happening since the last post almost eight months ago, it's a place to begin, right?

Hudson and cousin Aubrey were dressed up like a mini groom and bride to do their thing at Nick's cousin's wedding at the beginning of August. None of us quite knew how it would go (you see, Hudson isn't necessarily into that kind of thing - the dressing up, the performing in front of people, the posing for pictures), but with proper encouragement, both of the kids did just wonderful (though I don't think there was ever any doubt about Aubrey)!
