Here are some pictures from the past month of my son and his wife, in photos they sent me from their recent trip out west, first to a wedding in Grand Rapids, North Dakota (yes, they are continuing their impressive round of weddings, this was their fifth friend to get married this year, coming off of five weddings last year and seven the year before), followed by a few days of vacation in Seattle, then quick visit to friends in Portland, the ones whose wedding they attended in Milan, Italy last year. I love it when my beloveds go exploring and send me pictures along the way so I can see they're okay and happy and I can live vicariously through them and know that the world is theirs, too.
My 'seventies-souled nephew, Walking Eagle, is dropping new music soon, and I'm definitely vibing with this mood as a possible album cover.
And how could I not share this photo posted in the family chat of the coolest little mini Leisa on the planet. I'm told she doesn't play when it comes to her Minnie Mouse, and that she chose that flower herself to adorn her day.
Thank you, Rosemarie! It's so great to see such joy and beauty and love. I need that now.
ReplyDeleteEllen, we're all looking for the good aren't we? Thanks for being part of my good.
DeleteEach and every one of those photos is a sort of beautiful perfection. Beautiful people, beautiful scenery. And a very protective darling little girl, holding her Minnie Mouse.
ReplyDeleteMary, what a beautiful way to look at these photos, yes, each one its own perfect little story. Love.
DeleteThese are breathtaking pics. Where exactly is the lake and the forest?
ReplyDeleteKiddo is in her 'cool' phase.
Codex, the woods were outside of Seattle, the lake and vineyard ones in Portland.
DeleteWonderful snapshots of happiness and love and adventure and hope.
ReplyDeletedb, may it be so always.
DeleteSuch beautiful photos, especially the last one:)
ReplyDeletePixie, she is a cool little customer isn't she?
DeleteLove the vicarious travel. And that babe with the mouse - perfect, right to the expression on her beautiful face.
ReplyDeleteA lot of weddings - fascinating. I think we got married younger?
I love how they seem to relate so comfortably to each other.
Mary G, I was reading the other day that weddings are on the upswing, divorces declining. If these two are any indication, young people sure are getting hitched quite often lately. it might be that folks cling together in harder times.
DeleteGreat photos! Your nephew DOES have a definite '70s vibe in that photo. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine attending so many weddings. I think I've been to about five weddings in my life!
Steve, within the family, we all think its crazy how many weddings they attend too. Do they just have more friends than the rest of us? Or did their friend group of camp kids from all over the world summering together in the woods drink some commitment potion the rest of us missed? You won't believe that my son is off to England this weekend for yet another friend's wedding!
DeleteGorgeous and Little Miss is priceless!
