Jenny's Wedding...

Last night we drove all the way to Wisconsin - well, not quite, but almost. To see my lovely Jenny get married. However, once we arrived, my Mia had a two-year-old moment, and I only saw the wedding from afar. This means, no pictures at the altar. Boo.

Anyway, the wedding was beautiful - set at a tree farm, with a waterfall altar. Just gorgeous - as was the bride. Congratulations to Jenny and Jason - may you have a wonderful life filled with joy and love!

This is Vicki and Brian. Vicki is an old friend as well and they were at our table. Olivia took this picture since she was having fun with the camera. Vicki and Brian - we had a great time with you guys!

Here's Mia actually looking at the camera. Oh, and that's Olivia stealing food from Mia's plate.

Of course - the beautiful bride - my Jenny!

Kansas

Our annual trip to Kansas. We had a lot of fun. The drives were surprisingly relaxing. We went to dinner with Dad and Linda. We swam in the pool. Jumped on jump palaces. Saw LOTS of family. Cooked and chilled with Dad. All in all, a good trip!

On the way down (somewhere in Iowa), Mia in the car.
And with Tony.

Apparently, a picture of the ropes, while trying to capture Olivia in the jumpy house.
On the way back. This is how my kids sleep, wide open mouths the better to snore and drool.
This was when we took Jory out for his 21st birthday. The waitress went to feed him his first bite of cheesecake, and made sure to get it on his nose. And yes, that is Olivia eyeing the dessert.

Zoo...

We met Erica, Wally and Benjamin up at the zoo a couple of weeks ago. We hung out in the blisteringly hot weather parking our strollers, getting splashed by Dolphins, and fighting the requests to just play at the parks. Oh, the zoo used to be for seeing animals, back in my day. Yeah - I said it. I'm getting old!

Again, but zoomed in.

This is how she posed - purposefully with the sunglasses.


Mia on the train, I couldn't catch her looking at the camera.
Gratuitous bad picture. :-)
