We are back!

thad and I drove to Denver last week Thursday for Sam and Jessica's wedding. we made it back in town Monday morning. we are still recovering and dealing with fussy, runny-nosed babies who have so many teeth coming in that I am loosing track. here are a few pictures of our adventures and the time we spent with nate and jessa in grand rapids before they flew out on thursday for the wedding. the girls LOVED Jack. thanks to all of you who helped watch the girls so we could get away! we were ready for a break and completely enjoyed our time away knowing the girls were well cared for!

on the way there, the van went over the 100,000 miles mark!the rehearsal dinner
