Wedding Dance

We attended a beautiful wedding tonight at Heritage Gardens. We were invited to perform by the bride and groom as a surprise for the groom's family, who is from eastern Europe. We had a good time. Rylan was able to dance with us again. It is fun having him join us, and make it a family event.

Family Pictures

My brother is getting married in August, so my mom requested new pictures to update the ones on her wall. In the ones she has Alyssa is about 8 months old. So being the cheapscate I am, I recruited Erik's mom to help me take my own pictures. My children just don't do well for professional photographers. We went to Murray park one evening, and here are the results.

Field Trip

Today Colton's class went on a field trip to Wheeler Farm. I went along as crowd control. He was so excited to ride the bus for the first time. We visited all the usual animals. We went on a hay ride. We had a blast.

Welcome Ben!

We have added a new little one to our extended family. Erik's brother Henri and his wife Becky had a little boy this week. He was 7 lbs 7 oz, and very cute. We are excited to add another little one to the family, it has been a few years.

Living Traditions

Saturday was the anual Living Traditions festival. Our group was invited to dance with a loal German choir. We had plenty of women, so I volunteered to sit out. I took pictures instead.

This one is my personal favorite, not that I am predjudice or anything. They were just being cooperative.

Progress

I wish I could say that we are all settled in, but that would be wishfull thinking. We are however making progress. Last Friday, Alyssa's room looked like this:

On Monday we looked more like this:

Today most areas look like this:

No decorations, but at least most things have a place. As I unpack the rest of the boxes I have some idea of where to put things.
