weekend getaway

this past weekend i got to jet out to colorado springs for my cousin, kaitlyn's, wedding!

and it was all kid-free! (i had to stop myself from moving breakable items up out of kawelo's range - habit!)

some friends from purdue, travis and allison, met me for lunch in denver. allie has three boys - i think that sums up this picture:

here they are being their adorable selves. thanks for meeting me, guys!! it was SO fun to catch up!

here are some highlights from the wedding day. everyone looked gorgeous (especially kaitlyn, of course) and the reception was fabulous!!

apparently, grandma doesn't like her picture taken (look closely at her snapshot). i must get that from her. also, she used to hide candy in her underwear drawer (sherri was unclear on why they were snooping in there), so i get my sweet tooth from her, too. thanks a lot, grandma. on the other hand, i get my love of quilts from her, and koa has her beautiful eyes, so i guess it evens out. it was SO wonderful to see all the fam in colorado!! thanks, everyone, for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend!! our house is always open - feel free to visit!!
