family happenings

Lots of fun things have been happening this week.


Just a cute picture of Hazel in her cool shades:

1. A 21st Century Wedding!

Yesterday, Hazel got a new aunt!! Stephen, James' brother, and his fiancee Angela eloped to Florida! They were planning a wedding for August, and then decided to forgo all the wedding hoopla for a private ceremony. Last weekend, Stephen sat us down at breakfast and said, "So...next weekend Angela and I are getting married." It was a shock and we cheered for them. We were bummed, though, that we couldn't witness it, and then someone had the idea for a webcam wedding! So no kidding, Stephen set up his laptop and we watched their super short ceremony. They were pretty giggly, and it was really cute, and also a little Bollywood because Angela's hair was blowing in the beachy breeze. :) Here's the family watching the ceremony:(Uncle Jim has on a mask because of the surgery...he's not supposed to be exposed to any germs)


"You may now kiss the bride":



2. Olivia's Ballet Recital

I can't get over how adorable her tiny ballet slippers are! She did really well - she pointed and plie-d and twirled gracefully.

3. Play Dates!

We went this week for a play date with Hazel's cousins.


Sophie couldn't look more like my brother if she tried.


Hazel really liked Boston...by day...


But his super hero persona seemed to frighten her.

WOW! I didn't know about the beach wedding! HOW COOL!

Boston reminded me of my brother in the Spiderman costume. Yes Ryan is now 18 but if he could find a big Spiderman outfit, you know he'd be all over it. ;)

Great post!!
I love hazel's sunglasses! So cute!!
Is that a blue BG i see in that last picture?
So what made Stephen & Angela pick Miami... just wondering :) It's definitely a good pick - there aren't many beaches more beautiful than Miami :)
Sophie DOES look like your brother - how fun :) She's a cutie :)
All those play dates must be fun!!

ok, i know it's not fun to see hazel cry, but her crying at spiderman, was really funny to me! i love that expression on her face, when she's looking at boston. and those are some great shades too! so stylish, she should be on the hills. what a modern family, you guys are, watching people get married from a webcame, that's amazing.
