THE WEDDING PARTY
Brion & Carrie with the kiddo's: Michael, Drew [ring bearers] & Ava [flower girl]
Drew & Michael were quite opposite, so they were very cute together. Michael just stood in amazement with his big eyes as Drew ran circles around & around. But in the end they both did a fabulous job!
Ava stood in between the boys and held their hands down the aisle. It worked out really well and she did such a great job. She also looked so beautiful! She is Brion's second cousin.
BRIDE'S BOUQUET
The bodice on her dress is probably the most beautiful I have seen!
BRIDESMAID'S BOUQET: glittery & sparkly
Drew with the bride & groom
Brion was so great with Drew! Everytime Drew saw Brion, he put out both hands and said, "Hold me!!!" In the craziness of everything going on, Brion almost always "gave in" to his request.

John, Stephen & Scott
In college, Stephen was fondly nicknamed Superman. So we told Drew that he was going to meet "Superman" at the wedding. Just this morning Drew brought me a little superman toy and said, "Look, Mommy, it's Stephen!"
Mr. & Mrs. Rauba
Carrie's parents are no strangers to us. We were able to stay at their house last year when we came to visit Brion and Carrie for New Years Eve. Mrs. Rauba was like Drew's extended Grandma. I also knew them from years ago. They went to the church I grew up in and I actually babysat for Carrie & Laura (her younger sister) when they were like 4 & 2 years old. It was so funny when Brion first told us who he was dating! I couldn't believe it!!
Just before the ceremony...family pep talk for Drew!

Those pictures told the story well of the weekend. I'm so sorry you came home to a flooded basement, as if you need one more thing to do after coming home from a trip. We'll be right over to help! :) I never heard the story that you knew Carrie and Laura before - small world! I just love that pic of Drew praying..but it was so much cuter in person, he was so sincere. Tell him that Superman is says hi. I can't believe I live with him myself. :)
Those pictures are sooo cute! I am very jealous that you got to see so many wonderful people from way back when. Yeah for Brion! It sure looked like a beautiful wedding. I love the picture of Drew holding the flower girl's hand. What a little charmer!! His expression is so adorable. Also-- where did you get Jacks pants? I have never seen that grey/plaid print in infant pants-- so cute. Sorry about your camera-- do you think insurance will cover it? Maybe that's a stretch-- I mean hey-- you wouldn't have dropped it in the water if the water had not been there! Keep posting though-- pics or no pics!
Hi Erin,
This is Becky (Cutter) Highsmith. I was surfing around some blogs of people I knew from Marquette and came across your blog. Your boys are adorable. Your sister found me on myspace and told me you just had your second recently. I have 2 girls and they keep me quite busy at home. Well, I just thought I would say hello.
I LOVE the pict of Drew praying. And thanks for the rest of the picts too.
Hey,
It was great to talk with you yesterday. I think it was yesterday...and I don't even have a 3 month old to blame for my brain!!:)
Yes, Canon wears crocs and I LOVE them. They are the only shoes we have for him. They are awesome for their foot development (almost like being barefoot) and are so easy to clean. In our climate, they are perfect shoes. He wears the same 2 pairs year round with or without socks. I guess we are kinda crunchy.
Great fam picture! Everyone looks great and is smiling. Whew! Cherish that picture! Drew needs a pal like Canon to run with. Since we never walk...
Love ya!
great pictures!!! congrats to Brion & his new wife! Is your basement okay yet?
Hi Quinny,
