Summer Visitors

Summer is about many things; sunshine, sun burns, BBQ, long evenings, and visitors. Even though we are still adjusting to our new home city and finding our way around we had summer company. We had the joy of sharing some of our favorite things with members of both our families.

Love and Beauty

This past weekend I watched my brother in-law, Wesley, pledge himself in marriage to a beautiful girl that glowed in her love for him and the life they will be creating together.  I also saw my nephew’s adoration for his mother and how all else was eclipsed for him by her.

The Beautiful Bride

Her laughter is like music

The exchange of rings

Her feet come running when called

Wes and Emily; two lives now one

She is patient and kind

Mr. and Mrs.

 Two very special types of love.

Slumber Party

We had a sleep over at our last weekend with our nephew Kaiser. It was his first sleep over and we had fun. He did such a great job being away from Mom and Dad, just playing and laughing the whole time. Such a delight to have a little person running around the place for an afternoon and evening.

While at our house the dogs and the dog crate were the favorite play things. I think the crate might have just had a slight edge over the bed owner.

Kaiser trying for the Great Escape on our hike, but Uncle Terran was just a little faster and caught him

Kaiser was a big help to Uncle Terran pushing the stroller up the hill

Bugs are the best!

Nite-nite little buddy. Thank you for only getting Auntie out of bed during the night a few times. You did such a good job sleeping.
