Mid West meets Far West


.
Friends,
The wedding ceremony is complete. The California reception was held with 229 guests in attendance. It was a great success, except for the hot spell that kept everyone in the pool during the afternoon. We were all so busy that I didn't pick up a camera very much.



The next day we went to church and after that we took our Illinois visitors to the beach. Sadly, Thomas had to work and was not with us. He was missed. Please enjoy these shots of the day.








Mrs. H used to be responsible for dressing Ben, but now that job belongs to Mrs. H.

That is the look of impending doom.


He will recover.

What is Ben looking for?

What did he find?

It's a sand crab!












Everybody had a grand time.

be safe,
Hec @ 19

229 people - but when it gets to that many, who's counting.

We were ever so thankful to the special friends who helped us make the reception a fun day for all.

There were some people, though, who were greatly missed - and you know who you are.

The beach was wonderful - as God's creation always is.

Thanks DH. Love, JB

So does this mean life will slow down at all? Please?

Oh, what a fabulous weekend! Their entire visit was simply wonderful, and my house is 0h-so-quiet now.... ;( I knew I missed the sounds of those voices, but I didn't realize just how much....

The party was amazing! So many people...I still can't believe that they all fit! And the flowers were lovely as well as the new fence.

I was very happy that the day at the beach was warmish...not nearly as cold as it was back in September! What fun, what great memories! Love y'all!!!

Mom - *sigh* We missed y'all so much. When you come out, though, we'll keep you to ourselves! ;) Love you sooo much!

Thomas - Slow down?! I'm looking at my calendar and don't see that happening for some time...... :)
