returning east last night...


our nephew christopher and his bride rebecca
were married in st. paul on saturday.
the weekend was filled with love
and inter-generational celebration.

zaira's teeny, tiny baby toes,
the "anniversary dance",
abi tim's love-filled 80th birthday celebration,
the bro-heems middle aged/adolescent sense of humor
(when they are together, it seems they never grew up),
 the tornado siren on saturday night (!),
watching a canoe/kayak flotilla on the (amazing) mississippi,

and the promises the bride and groom made to one another...

the fullness of life in 48 hours.
