The Andrews came over the other day to watch the Packer / Vikings game (Vikes won).
During halftime, we all played Beatles Rock Band which was was a ton of fun. It was cool to see the whole family and Jake and Emma enjoyed showing off their ‘Lucy in the Sky’ skills.
We were so excited to celebrate Abby’s dedication. It’s great to stand in front of our church family at Eagle Brook, family, friends and God to say that we’ll raise her with a love for God.
What a cool day. We were blessed with fabulous people in our lives to go down that road with us and have asked Missy and Jerry Andrews to be her godparents and Emily to be Abby, Emma and Jake’s godsister – which is perfectly fitting. We have always viewed Emily as a sister to the kids, but to give her an extra bit of responsibility and a cool title was awesome.
It was a beautiful day. We stood before the church and promised to raise the Abby in the church in front of 2000 people including our friends and family – so cool. Abby was dressed in a beautiful white dress – thanks grandma.
We also were able to take some pictures in the family Christening gown, which most of us wore for our Christenings on back (and before) to my maternal grandmother who was born in the 1890s.
After church we came back to our house and barbecued with everyone. It was an amazing summer day and we relaxed with burgers and hot dogs from the grill.
Jason and Erin got married this weekend at the American Legion in Somerset.
The wedding was beautiful. They asked me to take some pictures and got a bunch of practice with the camera.
The kids had a fun time playing.
The vows were Doctor Suess based. Here’s a sample
Pastor: Will you love her when you’re fit,
And also when you’re feeling sick?
Jason: Yes, I’ll love her when we’re fit,
And when we’re hurt, and when we’re sick,
And I will love her when we’re rich
And I will love her in a ditch
And I will love through good and bad,
And I will love when glad or sad,
And I will have, and I will hold
Ten years from now a thousandfold,
Yes, I will love for my whole life
This lovely woman as my wife!
The party went on into the night and the kids got to dance. I tried to talk Missy into a epic karaoke version of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’, but to no avail.
