celebrations

Last Sunday was not only Father's Day, but also my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. My brothers and I had a book made for them with pictures and memories from family and friends. We celebrated by cooking out at our house, except my youngest brother and his wife couldn't be here, since they live in NYC and had just returned from their honeymoon. We missed them, but we had a fun celebration. It was the first time my oldest brother and his family could visit since coming back from their year-long sabbatical in North Carolina. We're all glad to have them back (and I think they're all glad to be back, though I think they enjoyed their adventurous year, too!).

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Happy Father's Day, Dad (my Dad)!

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

These pictures we took tonight. As I was playing with her hair I realized that I could probably put some pigtails in, so I tried. She isn't too excited about sitting still....EVER...so they're crooked, but not too terrible for our first attempt. Maybe when she's older and can sit still for a few more seconds at a time we'll do it for going out in public!
