This was the reason for missing Jonathan's award assembly. For years, Jeff and I had resolved to attend Jill's wedding, no matter where and when it happened. So, when she set a date, we knew that we had to attend. My wonderful mom agreed to take care of the kids, and we made plans to get to and from the wedding as quickly as we could. Jeff's cousin, Jill, chose a gorgeous setting for her wedding. Amazingly, it had been covered with eight inches of snow the day before, and it melted in time for the wedding.
Here is our little branch of the family that attended the wedding: Jeff's mom, sister, brother-in-law, and nieces.
The morning of the wedding, we got to do a little goofing around downtown while we waited for the festivities to start. This was my happy place...
and this was Jeff's.
Remember the snow I mentioned? There was just a bit left!
Jill and Ryan had a beautiful wedding. We were thankful to be a part of it and hope they have a wonderful life together.
It was a quick and fun weekend, and then we got some bad news. Our flight had been cancelled, and we would be getting in a LOT later than we had planned. I felt awful about breaking the news to my mom, but she was a very good sport.
We got to do some sightseeing while we waited for our new flights to happen, and we realized that we should have been taking awesome pictures of the librarian minifig that Jonathan had sent with me. Better late than never...we started taking pictures.
We were so thankful to get back, and so thankful for my mom's help. Here are a couple of random pictures of the kids: one of Grace feeling crummy and curing it with catnap,
and one of her happiness at the souvenir we brought to her!
