june recap: part II...


We managed to fit a LOT more fun into the second part of June, too.
Notable events included a trip to Papa's office (in a skyscraper!) for his surprise birthday party, an overnight trip to the Berkshires with KK, and our first BBQ at our new house!

We had such a fun and busy June, I'm making two posts out of it!
Highlights from the first half of the month included Max's school field trip to the zoo (and his first ride on a big school bus!), Brook & my overnight in NYC with the fabulous Lichtys from Minnesota, Jane's first birthday, and our joint Jane's birthday/Father's Day party at Grammie & Papa's.

may: jamie & leslie's incredible wedding...

Brook & I had the distinct pleasure of heading to sunny Los Angeles for Jamie & Leslie's wedding over the first weekend of May. Brook was honored to be Jamie's best man, and I was thrilled to tag along. We caught up with lots of friends and had a spectacular time on a weekend adventure (without kids!)!




The lovely rehearsal luncheon...

The wedding itself was so amazing. It was held in a "secret" location and all of the details were so unique and beautiful. The food was beyond delicious and the event was overall one-of-a-kind incredible!
