Uncle Benji got married!

This is going to be an exciting year on the Romney side of the family--3 weddings in 3 months. That has to be some kind of record! Well, one down and two to go. I thought some of you might appreciate seing how fun it is for us to travel long distances. Our kids have been really patient about being squeezed into the back of a Corolla . . . eventually we'll get a bigger vehicle, but it's good for our kids to do without, right?

Things started out okay . . .

But by the end of the trip, I think everyone was worn out!

Truly, it was truly a wonderful weekend. The kids had a blast with their cousins,

Benj & Amy's wedding was beautiful, wonderful, and everything we could have hoped it would be (they even had my favorite BYU-I Catering Spinach Salad at the luncheon--what could be better?)--I even got to sing my famous Irish Drinking Song, thus performing the one and only musical number aside from the songs by the bride and groom.

We didn't get many pictures with my family--I'm always forgetting to whip out the camera. But I liked this one of Ellie practicing Grandma Yaya's piano.

In addition to the wedding, we had another special surprise. Seth's brother Vance and his wife Brittney had a baby while we were in town! They were nice enough to let us all come that evening to meet beautiful baby Austin James (I hope that's spelled right). He's adorable! The first baby on that side of the family, so the kids are thrilled.
