For you, Family....pictures galore:)

Jonas did a fantastic job as the Ring-Bearer at Derek and Sam's wedding:) He and another little boy carried down a bear instead of a pillow---the bear wearing a tux as well---such a sweet idea! We had a wonderful weekend--two nights in a hotel with moderate amounts of sleep. I am not complaining:) Of course it was blazing hot and humid, so I felt so bad for the guys all in their layers of hot, black, clothing, but despite the rolling sweat, the wedding was beautiful. It was great to see so many dear old friends, eat delicious food, and dance the night away--Jonas is a great dancer, and got alot of attention with his crazy moves:) Derek and Sam had a disc golf basket set-up in the ballroom for people to throw instead of clinking glasses---you had to sink the disc for them to kiss. Jonas enjoyed this most of all, I think:) To make the evening possible for me to enjoy, our dear, almost-sister-in-law kept Freya for us....overnight. She volunteered folks. Yup. Welcome to the family, Bailey. You are fantastic. Needless to say, I prayed hard that Freya would pull off sleeping through the night for Bailey and her family, and they said that she did great. Whew! We then headed off on Saturday morning (the 28th: birthday of my dear sweet hubby) and picked Freya up and arrived that afternoon in Orange City where Grandma had baked pure deliciousness in the form of our favorite pies....Lemon Meringue for Jason and Strawberry for me:) Yum! We had a great week (actually more like 11 days due to car trouble) with them---seeing lots of friends, playing in the pool constantly and just soaking up the joys of summer...(typical picture of Jason this summer---nose in a book:) It was so humid for most of the week that my camera lens was foggy as well as my glasses from going in and out of the house---:)

We now know for sure that this little gal ADORES the water as much as her brother. I have two little fish:) Freya has also been starting to take steps while holding hands, pull herself up on her own to stand, and even stand for a few seconds on her own without hands! She is eating everything in sight (try going out to eat with this kid, and you'll think you should have ordered her steak and potatoes!) Thanks for the fun, Griffin and Hazel:)
