Fun, fun and more FUN!

This weekend we traveled to Columbus for my cousin's wedding. Our daily lives are so busy and I won't even begin to list the number of things we packed into the past 48 hours, but luckily I had the opportunity to see many moments of this beautiful day in slow motion. It was almost as if time sort of slowed down and I could really soak in the experience despite the hustle to make it on time, the overly tired baby and OSU after-game traffic. It felt like I was on the outside, looking in and observing small moments throughout the night that were so much bigger than me.
Here are just a few . . .
A perfect family photo (do I even have to say more?) taken with a fancy new camera, recommended by a good friend. A picture with 13 second cousins . . . observe the attempted runaway.
Connor, fully engaged in a dance off (with a 25 year old man) in front of a large audience.Connor winning said dance off by show of applause after this break dancing/back bend move.Beautiful baby girls in big bows!
A sister teaching her younger brother to twirl.A beautiful girl, with a passion for dancing, feeling "the fire burning on the dance floor!"A tired boy seeking out his Mommy on the other side of the room and asking her to slow dance.
Daddy and daughter dancing . . . a glance into the future of a special dance to come at her own wedding. A boy who defies the laws of flexibility!A sleepy boy who put up a good fight before finally giving in to sheer exhaustion.
An older brother taking his younger brother's hand to cross through a parking lot.
A gorgeous profile of a girl who felt so pretty, choosing her own dress and shoes and twirling excitedly in the mirror before we left.
That ornery face - the scrunch of a little nose, those dimples and an unforgettable gleam in those baby blues!
