Home for a Grand Celebration

Yes, we're alive ( I know some may have wondered since my blogging has become nonexistent), I actually hope some very specific people read this blog because I unknowingly lied to them.  I was once known to have said that 3 children WASN'T too much of a difference than having 2 children.  Please note to those that I said this to, that I said this when I had had my mother, my mother-in-law twice and many friends bringing my meals for weeks while "adjusting" to "3".  The truth is, it only gets busier, much busier!  I've had to totally revamp the way I spend my time.  I used to be able to check my email a couple times a day, now it's a couple times a week...maybe...  I'd update my blog once or twice every two weeks, now 1 every 2-3 months :)
I wouldn't change a thing! I love these kiddos and they have taught me so much about love, and I've loved simplifying my life too, LIFE is GREAT! Just busy :D
Now, on to the Grand Celebration...

Ted's brother (Glenn) got married this weekend!  Wahoo and wonderful!  He's the last of the Butterfield boys to tie the knot. There are lots of reasons to love Glenn; he and I have known each other for over twenty years (and he still talks to me)! He is one of the most loyal guys I know! But the most important reason is this is the guy that introduce me to my Teddy and therefore he has a super special place in my heart forever.
The gal snagged (Mariah) is absolutely perfect for him and he for her.  She's confident, has a mind of her own, she's beautiful inside and out, she's outdoorsy and best of all she glows with love. 
It was a wonderful wedding and I felt privileged to be a part of it (plus it was nice that it made it necessary for Ted to come home for the weekend :)

I didn't get any close-ups of the happy couple, but I did get some pics of the family!  Congrats Glenn and Mariah!  I'm SO very excited for both of you!

 He is the cutest guy in the whole world!  Plus, it was one day before his birthday!  Happy Birthday my sweet and wonderful hubby!!!

 My sweet mommy was such a help to me and getting everything ready for the big day, not possible without 'cha mom!

I love this picture for the symbolism of the young couple looking to their future together while the mature couple sit close thinking of their past. -(at least that's my thought)-
