August and Nicole’s Wedding
Lot to catch up on… Alright, let’s go!
Blurry Nina! See this image larger.
Nina told me, at the time, that these guys were all in line to go to Java Gym. See this image larger.
Swingin’ with Jake! (Technically these were July 29th… get over it! See this image larger.
July 30th, Ian at Tumble Time! See this image larger.
He’s great at this one, he thinks he’s Spiderman! See this image larger.
Ian sticks the landing! See this image larger.

August 2nd, the landscaping we had completed is almost invisible, as the grass has grown in nicely. (Later, it did get a little fried when we went away for a weekend. Time will tell if the young grass “made it” or not.) See this image larger.
August 3rd, we made our way to Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia’s so that Mommy and Daddy could attend Daddy’s cousin’s wedding! See this image larger.
This is the night before the wedding. See this image larger.
Bedtime story! See this image larger.
One of Nina’s favorite books! See this image larger.
A sly little smile there! See this image larger.
Another story! Thanks, Gramma! See this image larger.
*TEN friendly fish? Huh!* See this image larger.
August 4th, and toys were played with. See this image larger.
Ready for fun! Thanks for the new ones, too! See this image larger.
Note the foam padding around the table! Has come in handy more than once! I’d like to take a moment to thank Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia for making time for us, giving us a place to stay, and watching the kids which is probably at its most challenging. (Even currently I can say that Ian was maybe a bit more of a challenge back in August, and this is just a few months later.) See this image larger.
At the actual wedding, Tiffany’s husband Glen leads Carolyn down the aisle. Carolyn is a friend of the family, and one of Nicole’s best friends. 🙂 See this image larger.
Cousin Tiffany. See this image larger.
Nicole walking down the aisle with Uncle Donny. I should have taken the time to talk to him, but I did not end up being able to, and regret it. See this image larger.
The little guy there is Cole, who would be Nicole’s son by marriage about 10 minutes after this shot was taken. Forgive the guy on the far left, it was hot in there! See this image larger.
Nicole does a little happy jig on the way back from lighting the unity candle! See this image larger.
And, done! See this image larger.
Happy ever after, here they come! See this image larger.
We bought Nicole something from her registry, but I also got her a Lego bride and groom. Fond memories of playing together as kids; lovely to see her grown, beautiful, and now happily married! See this image larger.
Cake chop, and “Red Solo Cup” set the tone for a fun reception! See this image larger.
Mitchel sisters! See this image larger.
Dancing with Grandma Sue! See this image larger.
A great framed note acknowledged recent family losses, including Uncle Chris. Thanks for the thinking of him! See this image larger.
August 6th, back home – Nina grew a beard? See this image larger.
Nah, that was black beans and rice. See this image larger.
Cupcakes! Thanks Gramma Marcia! See this image larger.
