Pictures from the Wedding

We just got back from Tennessee where we celebrated our cousin Katherine's wedding. We enjoyed it so much, seeing our relatives, and especially Katherine and Joe. They are moving to Virginia, only a little ways from here, so we will get to see them more often, which we are very happy about!
Here they are:



The morning of the wedding, we attended a brunch put on by some friends for Katherine. Here are all the cousins, pictured together.


The kids had fun with our cousin Daniel, who is Katherine's brother.



This is Katherine with some of the kids:


After the brunch, the kids caught a whole bunch of baby turtles in a stream that was on the property. This was the highlight of the morning, I'm sure.



The wedding was beautiful, leaving all the girls dreaming of one just like it (hopeless romantics... :).
This is some of us at the reception after the wedding.


After the reception dinner there was dancing. All of the kids "danced." :} Alexander and Benjamin "danced" quite well, and enjoyed it as you can see.


Then Benjamin and Abel had a hilarious time too...


And Susannah and Elizabeth...


Timothy and Caroline practicing their Egyptian dance--


Patrick and Abel doing likewise:


Sarah and Elizabeth swing dancing. Don't they look beautiful?


Caroline reluctantly agreed to dance with Timothy but it turned out alright.


Buddy made friends with all of the boys and they all jumped around (or danced...) for the rest of the night.


Us girls had fun with Patrick.


Patrick decided to wear the wedding flowers in his hair for a change.


It was the Best Wedding Ever!!

We love what you have made, Jesus!
