I do.

Aunt Zoe is officially "Aunt Zoe" now and we couldn't be happier (or more tired) after a wonderful weekend. We just finished up a 12-hour drive home from Portland (An eight-hour trip becomes 12 with kids) after the wedding last night. It was an absolutely spectacular weekend with some very memorable moments, namely of course, Corey and Zoe finally getting hitched. Also huge in our minds, was our sweet Elena as the best flower girl we've ever seen. I don't have very many photos, as I had Michael strapped to me and I grabbed the camera in the nick of time to catch her coming down the aisle, but so many professional photos were taken and will come to us soon enough. Zoe also told us that we could get a copy of the video. I'd like to post some of everyone because there are so many beautiful things to remember.

The drive there was honestly pretty brutal, but we rallied and just tried to enjoy all the events and really live in the moment. At ceremony time, Elena couldn't have done a better job, sprinkling fall leaves to lead the way for the bride and standing by Zoe's niece the whole ceremony, despite some cold weather. She simply smiled and made the "I love you" sign to me a few times. During the reception, Daddy's toast was just perfect with Elena chiming in as she and Daddy had practiced. She danced the night away for a good couple hours and Papa and Grandma had a great time introducing Michael and her to their friends and relatives.

The drive home was long, but much better, largely because we spent a long time talking about the weekend. It is a great memory and one we were thrilled to share with so many loved ones.
