Weddings and dreams

A few weeks ago, my dear friend Anne got married. It was a beautiful wedding, and Zaria got to be a flower girl, which was really special. We're still getting to know Suren, but he seems to be a really great guy and we're very happy for the new couple.

The new bride and groom, Anne and Suren!

Sitting still

We were quite amazed on Easter when we arrived at my aunt and uncle's house, and Xander and Wesley sat right down in a couple of little chairs . . . and just sat there for several minutes like they were part of the "adult" crowd. The first photo is actually later, after lunch, when they discovered the chairs again and were looking up at Grandpa Lee.
Above is a picture of all the grandkids on my (Sara's) side of the family. Becca is the oldest at 5, and then we have two sets of "twins." Zaria and Trish are only 5 weeks apart cousins, and dressed alike for their Great Grandma Alpha's 100th birthday party. Then we have the twins that are just one minute apart, Wesley in green and Xander in red. Xander has a similar expression on his face to the left below, back in those great little chairs.
