Fast trip to Florida

A friend from church got married in Florida last night; we decided that we would go since it was a trip we could make Fri-Sun and we could squeeze in a visit to Matthew and Caleb besides! Free lodging, family time, and a friend's wedding...how nice!

Here are the kids at the Big Cow on the way to Florida...

And here is a picture especially for my mom -- proof that I knitted on the way down here!

I don't want to post a bunch of wedding pictures and steal the newlyweds' thunder, so I'll just post one of them from the back as they left the reception under the glow of sparklers. It was very pretty...

And we came home to find two sweetly-sleeping babies, all tuckered out and having been well-tended by their doting uncles...

Today we are going to spend the day with the boys (yes, I know they're men now, but we've always said 'the boys' as an easy way to refer to my brothers and it's not likely to change anytime soon!!!)...and tomorrow we'll head home.
