Family Portraits
Hello everyone. Last Friday we had an appointment at a portrait studio called Portrait Innovations. Turns out it was actually cheaper than Sears when all was said and done. We got tons of pictures for the money, but more impressively: they GAVE us the CD with all 70 pictures that they took…..non-protected jpeg files no less. Anyway, because they made it easy, I’m able to put some here.

Nikki’s wedding
This past weekend (July 13-15) we traveled to Racine, WI for Nikki’s wedding to Paul Rauwerda. Their wedding was at a bed & breakfast called Lochnaiar Inn. It sits at the top of a hill overlooking Lake Michigan; very nice. We arrived on Friday afternoon. We had the master suite which had two bedrooms and a large sunroom, which turned into the hangout for the many people for the weekend. It was a really nice room with lots of windows also overlooking the lake. The rehearsal was in the evening on the lawn. On the other side of the fence were the multitude of festivities for the Great Midwestern Dragon Boat Race.
The rehearsal dinner was pizza and treats at the inn, where we got several good pics. The wedding was at 2pm on Saturday. It was very casual, as you can see in the pics (link below) which was good because it was quite warm and sunny. Following the ceremony was an outdoor reception with punch and treats. Then the family had a private dinner at the inn.
All in all it was a very pleasant weekend with friends and family. Unfortunately the weekend ended when Chris went to load the car on Sunday morning to find the van’s driver side sliding door window bashed in and all his electronics stolen (iPod, DVD player, GPS, car chargers, movies etc.). So, the innkeeper, and Jerry did great by cleaning out the glass and taping up a Remy Martin Brandy box over the hole so we could drive home (free advertising??)
Here is a link to the pictures. Enjoy!
