Stephanie and Charlie's wedding

 My one and only sister, Stephanie, got married this summer in Pennsylvania.  That was our ultimate destination for our summer travels.  Her wedding and reception were at a beautiful resort called Bear Creek and we had a BLAST!  The kids (minus Brick) were all in the wedding, as was I.  It was so fun to be with her Philly friends, and Charlie and his sister, and all our family that came out!  We just had so much fun! Here are lots of pics from the day...















 This is all my family that came out for the wedding.



 Mina and Mayzie were attached to my cousin's kids, Chloe and Emma!  They danced and hung out with them most of the night!
Mayzie recently asked if we could go back to Bear Creek tomorrow... it was that fun!  The best part is that I got a new brother, Charlie!  He is awesome and we are so glad to have him in the family!

Summer trek... beginning in Wisconsin!

 The first part of our 2 week long, 4,000 mile trek was a few days in Wisconsin!  It was so nice to get back into such a pretty GREEN state!  We were breathing in deep, that good sweet air!
 We spent some time in Madison with my college roommate Caroline and got to meet her new baby.  We also saw my dear friend Christina who I worked with at my first job.
 Here we are with the kids.
 Caroline and Nate, new baby Lowell, and daughter Karmen.
 Next stop was a couple days in Racine with Joe's family and some cousins!

 A walk down to Lake Michigan is always on the agenda, it's just a couple blocks from Joe's parents house.


 Brick on the bricks... this might have to be a reocurring shot!
 Brick pushing his cousin Ryan in the stroller... ha!
 We also got to see Elizabeth and Ethan's beautiful new home!
