The reception

I'll start by including this picture of Jonah. It says a million words. Some of those including the fact that for the past few weeks Jonah has been swinging between two extremes. 1- Way too hyper and 2- Way too grumpy. Very rare you'll see him somewhere in-between. We are hoping he will be feeling better soon. He's driving us nuts. Now to the reception. It was in my parents back yard. The weather was perfection and the decor was even better. Everything was over-the-top gorgeous. And stupid me didn't get the pictures to prove it. All I got was this one of the dinner tables. They had more tables and hoers derv's set up by the pool with Lily pads in the water. Very pretty. The yard was all decked out. There was a very scrumptious dinner served in courses. And some dancing and videos. A few people sang songs with their guitars. We really enjoyed the evening.

Molly with her big beautiful grin and her unnaturally long lashes. Those are real lashes people; no fakies.

We took a bunch of family photos before the reception started. And boy is it hard to get everyone to look at the camera with a smile! You wouldn't believe all the photo shopping I had to do. I think I had to change out about 10 heads and a few bodies on the following pictures. It was nuts. And even then there were a few kiddos that never got a great shot. Oh well. I just went through all the photos and took the best head or body from each one. Don't go looking for it though, I get all paranoid about my sloppy photo shopping.

My parents, siblings, their spouses and children. There are 8 children in the Waite gang. 4 boys and 4 girls. The 8th child is Sam and he's 17. My siblings in age order: Anna, Tim, Sherod, Emily, Me, Andy, Molly, Sam.

My parents with 18 of their 19 grandchildren. Numbers 20 and 21 are baking in the oven. Riley is missing. More on Riley later.

Our happy little family.
