Here is this year's formal shot of Ed. Looks a bit grim, huh?

A sailing we will go . . .

School is back in session and that means field trips! Mark accompanied Hannah's 5th grade class on an educational sailing on the Sultana. He doubled as the school's photographer and snapped over 450 pictures!

Sure, I can cook.

The better to see you with, Grandma!

Hmmm, I bet I can climb this!

Hey grandma, wanna jump off the porch with me?

Haylie caught 40 winks on the way to the church.

Okay, I'm awake and have my flowers. Let's go!

Daddy, can I have a turn?

No, Haylie, we're all finished!

Tired from her flower girl duties, Haylie slept on the way to the reception

Instructions on entering the dance floor

Haylie danced with mama for a bit.

Joshua made a party hat for a pretend party.

Practicing her technique

Clean up, clean up, everybody clean up!

Even the toddlers got into chores. Joshua brought his own vacuum cleaner with him. Haylie worked with the broom. This was one of their most successful cooperative playtimes. Notice that each child is wearing one of grandma's flip flops! They initiated this game and enjoyed it several times.

Haylie did quite well in her pink and purple fish float.
