Our friends and babysitters Katie and Alex were married this weekend. Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Alex Brand! They had the most adorable flower girl and ring bearer you have ever seen!!! The first picture is of Will pulling Megs down the aisle in a wagon. The crowd gave him pause for a minute or so, but we finally got him moving in the right direction. Megs sat very still the whole time and dumped her flowers out in one pile at the very beginning. She didn't really get the concept, but she was too cute. I'm going to save these pictures for their weddings and say "Remember when..."! (sniff, sniff) Feel free to comment on how beautiful they are!

Ahh, the sweet time in paradise...ok, anyone who has been to Jamaica knows that may be a little misleading. Land is beautiful but filled with poverty. One of those...been there, loved to look at it, but have no interest in going back. Maybe a little critical, but there it is. Little known fact: if you buy "wacky tobacky" from locals, be prepared for a strip search on the way back to the ship as the locals will sell you picture to the police...heard some graphic details going into dinner that night from a very large man that will haunt me for a long time. I don't need to get those visions in my head.

The cruise overall was tremendous and we are already planning our next one. 10 year anniversary is right around the corner, but we have to let the grandparents recover before we spring that on them. Good to be back with the kids, but we'll talk about them on another post. On to more pictures...


This was us prior to getting "too" much sun. The glare is coming from the very German boy...

Here's a photo of our friends, Joella and Phil. Celebrating their 20th anniversary.

We'll I'm new at this, so I'll end with a real reason why we will be going back as soon as God permits.

Our first post...crazy that we received 5 comments before we even saw the site!
