Boy, where to start. We had a very full weekend and it's not quite over. Friday night was Erin and Jeff's wedding - it was a very nice affair. The ceremony was Catholic, so we had to be there for a while, but they did it well and our kids actually made it through without causing a disturbance. Erin looked very pretty - Jeff looked cool and collected. The reception was held in the old Fischer's Meat Processing plant, though all traces of pig guts were removed long ago. The food was yummy, the music got people dancing and the toasts were entertaining (good job Chrissy!) The coolest thing going was the bobble head replicas they special ordered for the cake topper. Awesome! We kept Rowan with us the whole night, but we called in reinforcements for Mojo. She did not take a nap that night and she was getting punchy. Her Aunt Kathy was very nice to us and drove to the reception and picked up Mo at 9pm. Maureen didn't mind leaving because she got to spend the night with Abbey and Gus. I heard she slept in the bed with Aunt Kathy and Cousin "G" and poor Uncle Scott got booted to the couch. Sorry Scott - we owe you one, again!
Last night was a mini-reunion with some of my fraternity brothers from Western. It was held at the palatial estate of brother Tom and his wife Christy. Also joining us was Weve (a regular reader of the Adventures) and Garry, both with families in tow. Tom has really, really done well for himself. The house was overwhelming to say the least. The best feature was a hidden movie room behind a bookshelf, like Batman. Maureen spent her time between the trampoline outside and the indoor "slide into the pit of balls" contraption. She adored the other kids and simply had a ball. I hope we can reunite sometime sooner than the every-three-year norm.
Finally, today we (the Sparky family) had a picnic in the park. The day is beautiful, and we blew off all our chores and honey-dos to spend some quality time together in the early afternoon. It was the perfect end to a wonderful weekend. I hope everyone reading this is enjoying their weekend just as much as we are.
