If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this post was a short novel and is on my list of best novels I've read this year. It's too bad that we couldn't have seen you while you were here, but I'm sure there were several people and things you would like to have seen/done but just didn't have enough time. Pity. But I'm glad you had fun!
Oh, how perfectly terrific! It looks like it was a fun trip and a great wedding.
Isn't amazing how pictures can say so much?
Yay for grandparents! I was never close to mine so it makes me so happy when other people are. Always keep Sam and Elliot in their lives, not matter what!!
Mary Irene, you are one of the most beautiful women I know. Lovely pictures.
It was sooo fun spending time with you guys! I love being with your boys and especially with you both. Thanks for sharing. We love you guys.
Eric
Looks like you had a jam-packed vacation! Wish I could have seen you. I have to tell you that in all your pictures you look so pretty! You are sooo lucky to have that beautiful hair color!
