Back to the real world...

We just returned home from a trip back to Indiana for my brothers wedding. They had an intimate, beautiful ceremony at a local park surrounded by immediate family. A reception followed with extended family and friends. It was so wonderful to see everyone and finally introduce our boys to many of whom had not met them before.

The week included 2 days of preparing food for the wedding, 5 late nights staying up with my family, 1000's of pictures, laughter with 10 siblings and several sib in-laws, 5 games of kick the can (in which I discovered I am very out of shape), 4 snotty noses (myself included) and lots of delicious food. We had a great time and left with many of wonderful memories. Thanks to all!! Congratulations Q & T, and big Connor (welcome to the family)!
