..And they lived happily ever after.

My cousin Courtney and her husband Ramone (Chico), had their wedding reception on Saturday. They were married last month at our Aunt Cathy and Uncle Rick's home on a lovely summers day. This weekend our family gathered from miles and hours away to celebrate their special day.

Though my mom wasn't there in person to sing and dance with all of us, I couldn't help but feel that in some way, she was still a part of it all. Just watching her grandchildren and all of her adult kids dancing up a storm, blessed my heart.

My Aunt Judy (Courtney's mom and my mom's older and wiser sister) told me today that they hadn't been able to get a videographer or photographer. If I'd known that, there would have been more pictures of the rest of the family, and less of mine.

**For those family members of mine that lurk but never comment, this post will only be up a couple of days and I must delete it. Paul just can't stand having me post pictures of him on the internet!**

PHANTOM

Thought I would share with you what we were up to yesterday.




My daughter just LOVES musicals. So yesterday I took her to see "The Phantom of the Opera". I have seen it twice before in San Francisco. Once with family and once with my husband (who fell asleep). I was so happy to get to take my little girl for the first time.

My sister Jennifer took her daughters and her mother-in-law Geneva too. We had a great time.
