May 12th, 2007 Sarah and Josh

Sarah and Josh got married on May 12th, 2007. Our whole family got to come which the children were very excited about. Sarah and Josh sent each one of the boys an invitation, so they each got to send back their response. They all felt very grown up that day and their behavior was incredible. They all three sat in the front row with GG (Great-Grandma) and that's it. Now if you are a parent of three boys under the age of seven, you know that this combination can be a recipe for disaster, especially at a wedding. Sibling fighting doesn't recognize the rules of a wedding, funeral, or otherwise. Well, all three kids sat quietly in the front row watching intently the entire time. Rebecca and I sat in the row behind them and not once did we have to "give the look" or flick an ear. We were quite amazed. Of course, this was a day in history that we owned up to have three small boys with such great behavior. Everyone was saying, " who are the parents connected to those three angles?" From across the room, we made our presence known and owned up to those three miracles. They were all so excited to see Sarah in her dress and Josh wearing a suit. They thought Josh would have been more comfortable in shorts and a tee shirt, but wouldn't we all. Right after the wedding, I took the kids over to my sister's house so they could play with their cousins during the reception. They felt like they had a great day with a short wedding and playing with cousins.

The reception was very nice and the food was wonderful. Rebecca and I were thrilled to sit and talk with other adults and eat delicious food. It was a smaller wedding, about 50 people, which made it so easy for them to talk with everyone and actually enjoy their meal. They left later on that afternoon via limo and headed to the airport to find themselves in Fiji some 24 hours later. They had a great time relaxing. We really Like josh and it seems like he has been part of the family a long time. Our kids think he is the best thing ever, exactly what an uncle should be.
