Another family addition

This was an exciting weekend for our family. My cousin Brett married the lovely Emily in the Rose Garden park in Frankenmuth. They had a beautiful, sunny day. Although the temps were rather warm, there was a nice breeze to cool us off every now and then. I wore a halter dress and my SIL Courtney wore a cute strapless dress. Unfortunately, neither of us thought to wear sunscreen, and we both ended up looking like lobsters by the time the ceremony was over! Aside from our sunburn woes, the ceremony was very nice. Emily looked gorgeous in her dress. Brett was very handsome in his white tux, and the wedding party was a great looking group as well.

Thankfully, Penny, a good family friend of ours, watched Hannah during the ceremony (it was just too hot and sunny to bring her with us), and she was kind enough to bring Hannah up to the Rose Garden for pictures afterward. We did bring her along with us to the first part of the reception, and she did relatively well. Honestly, Jason and I hardly saw her because so many people were taking turns holding her. She even did a little tour with the bride :-) By 8:00 or so, she was getting pretty tired, so Jason ran her back to Penny's. We really had a great time at the reception, dancing, doing the alligator, and making fun of cousin Mark as he got the hook up :-)

Here's a little snapshot of the day...


Congratulations, Brett and Emily. We are so excited for you, and Emily, we're so happy to have you join our crazy family. It's good to finally have more girls around! We wish you two all of God's blessings.
