1st Grade Begins

 Patrick stared 1st grade this morning.  It was just a half day but it sounds like he had lots of fun.

Becca and George were not to be left out of the photo shot.

This was taken by another mom in the 1st grade class this morning.  God bless Mrs. Hedden for taking these crazy boys on.

Anna's Wedding

A few weeks ago we made the trip to Wisconsin to witness my cousin Anna get married.  It was a lovely ceremony and the kids had a great time.  Here is Anna with her folks.

Here is Norah, looking somewhat confused with all the other kids around.

 George and Jake had a good time together.

It was all to emotional for George so he took a short nap.

As we waiting in the receiving line, George enjoyed the flowers.

Becca and Clara had fun with the bubbles.

Jake too had his share of fun with the bubbles.

Then it was onto dinner and dancing at the reception.  As soon as the formal dances were done, the kids took the floor.

Becca, Clara, & Katie looking beautiful.

Anna and Matt did their share of dancing as well.

More dancing kids.

We did manage to acquire some injurers while in Wisconsin.  George slipped at the pool and his tooth put a pretty good hole in his upper lip.  Becca managed to burn her arm on Aunt Maureen's curling iron (both Maureen and I did everything we could to prevent it).  Even AJ managed to get stunk by a bee.  Despite all of that, this was a great wedding.  Thanks to Anna and Matt and their parents for a great time.
