Our handsome Gideon . . . looking very serious. I think he is wondering why I put the effort into putting his suit back on just for a picture. I tried to explain that the wedding day was a blur and we didn't get any pictures of just him and hardly any of the family and I dont know if he will fit into it on Sunday since he is growing like a weed!!!
Pam is married!!! I'm only posting this because Pam looks so great and Jen and Mindy, too. I should not be so vain that I don't want a picture of me 2.5 weeks post postpartum on the internet. So I'll get over it and post it anyway . . .
The beautiful bride and her brothers . . . and her husband :) Notice how Nate and Ryan don't really smile, Daniel has a smirk, not really a smile, and Tyler is faking it and thinking the photographer is annoying (actually they are probably all thinking that!)
Saturday we went to Tyler's lacrosse game at Dordt, he scored, they won and we had fun!! I've never watched lacrosse before, but it wasn't too hard to catch on. It is a team sport with little 'traditions' like raising your sticks in a huddle, doing a "RA RA" cheer for the other team, fans, and ref at the end of the game, and riding a stick horse in your undies the first time you score. Interesting !?!?!?
Briella is getting better and better at being a good big sister. It is so cute to see her give him kisses and hugs and every time he cries she looks at me and says "Oooohhhh" with great sympathy.
There is our smiley guy . . . 2 months, 12.5 pounds
Another great example of the sisterly love. I actually took about 6 pictures and he was smiling on some and she was laughing on others, but the ones he is smiling on she is closing her eyes or looking the other way and when she is laughing he is frowning. I'm starting to understand my mother's frustration when trying to take pictures of the 8 of us!!
