Things I haven't blogged about

So, it has been pretty crazy around here.  I have a lot to post.  So, it will probably be pictures with short descriptions.  Enjoy!

Before Goshen, my brother and his family came to visit.  They came on the hottest day (at that point) - 93F and humid!  We took their two kids to this really cool park near me.  They were good sports because they love being outside.  It was fun to just hang out with them.  Two pics: swimming at the park, playing at home

My friend (former roommate) Molly stopped by with her son, Chase, on her way to her parents' house.  It shows me what I have to look forward to - moving, moving, moving.  He was a lot of fun to watch.  We realized that as much as you would like to have a normal conversation, it is no longer possible if kids are around!  It was wonderful to see her and catch up with her.  This is Chase playing with Madison.

A few days after that, Jeremy, Madison, and I piled in the car and headed to Kansas for my cousin's wedding.  We went through Louisville to visit his cousin's family.  It was good to hang out with them.  I don't know them well, and it gave me a chance to get to know them.  They loved, loved, loved the baby.  Here is his cousin, Beth, with her daughter Tori and Madison.  And Beth and her husband, Don.  (Somehow their son never made it in a picture.)

The next day we progressed to Kansas.  We pushed Madison a little too long in the car and listened to her scream for about 2 hours.  Live and learn.  It was a good few days.  We stayed in a house of my cousin's in-laws.  They were wonderful hosts - amazing hot breakfasts, easy conversations, generousity of time and resources.  Here are some shots from the weekend.   (There are only a few because we were working hard on just keeping up with Madison on a crazy schedule.)  Our family at rehearsal dinner; Madison at the petting zoo.
