Happy Wedding!!

We are back from a week in the mountains of Utah celebrating Uncle Terry and Aunt Emily's wedding...now there are officially two Emily Beckmans! The week was filled with family time and fun festivities. It was great to see all of the family, most of whom we have not seen in four years, since Kim and Eric's wedding. Henry most loved the swimming pool, which we were able to play in everyday. He loved dipping his head under the water and splash, splash, splashing. He showed a bit more interest in his new cousin Koleton by touching his toes and kissing his tummy. The rehearsal dinner, held mid-mountain at Deer Valley was perfect. The wedding on Saturday night was even more perfect. The setting was breathtaking...tucked in a canyon with wildflowers, a beautiful lake and roaring stream. Henry loved the ducks swimming in the lake, and the giant swing hanging on the grounds. He was a very good boy, sitting quietly (almost) in my lap during the ceremony...due in large part to plenty of strawberry puffs.

We left Utah very early Sunday morning, arriving in Chicago Sunday afternoon. Coincidentally, Grandpa Hacker had a conference Sunday through Wednesday, just as I did. So Henry got lots of MooMoo time during the days exploring the city. Though he loved splashing in fountains and waving to the trains, the highlight was the army of cement trucks they spotted while exploring Monday morning. Anything that goes, Henry loves...trucks, trains, airplanes, bicycles, fast cars...anything. While we were in Chicago, Tim left for San Francisco...so we haven't seen him since Sunday and we are eagerly awaiting his arrival home Saturday night.

It was a wonderful time away, but of course it is nice to be home. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Beckman, Terry and Emily for such a fun time in Utah. And thank you MooMoo and Papa for a great time in the big city. Can't wait to see you all again soon!!
