weekend pics and details

lots of pictures from the weekend can be found here.

many congratulations to Brad and Renee. the wedding was so nice and a lot of fun, and I was quite honored to be a groomsman. of course the boys (Caleb and his twin cousins) were a big hit with all the family. Caleb also enjoyed meeting his great-grandparents as well as Michelle's old friends in Lancaster.

as promised, life was a bit crazy with everyone under one roof, but the red, red wine helped ease the tension, as well as a mad evening of karaoke (thanks to DJ Steve). highlights included Wind Beneath My Wings, Respect, Sherry, Michelle, Piano Man (with spanish subtitles), and any song that Steve belted out.

the twins also had their dedication at church, so it was great to be able to be there for that special time with the family. we pray that all our kids will know and love Jesus their whole lives.

many thanks to the family for putting us up, putting up with us, and for all the fun and good times. we're looking forward to another crazy fun time this summer at the shore. by then all the boys will be mobile, so the craziness factor should increase all the more.

we're so thankful that Caleb traveled well, and for a nice place (and adoring dog) to come home to. thanks to those that looked after everything. we didnt expect Katie to be excited about Caleb coming home (since she doesnt really pay him much attention these days), but this morning she was positively giddy to see him. it's so cool to see them becoming buddies.

now back to life. work is rather busy, and my folks will be here soon. we're so glad it's springtime too! it's hard to believe that Easter is here already, so pray that God will continue to change our hearts to love Him all the more during this weekend of celebrating His and our resurrection.
